CANADIANS CROWNED WORLD FIREWORKS CHAMPIONS 2018 IN BLACKPOOL

Despite an exceptionally strong performance from France (which for me was the winner), the judges decided that the crown of World Fireworks Champions 2018 should be awarded to Canada following this spectacular display off the North Pier at Blackpool in Northern England.
The championships are part of the resorts world famous Illuminations season, which sees miles of seafront decked out in coloured lights - a tradition which dates back almost a century.

We rode through in the huge group of bikes just as the fireworks started, the ending looked awesome, shame we missed it.

Awesome firework and video. Did you use a drone for aerial footage?

Thank You, and yes I did!

U're welcome! I would love to use a drone at an airshow. Too bad it is forbidden. :/

[@2wheels2strokes4ever]

Can you imagine what it would be like at a big airshow such as Berlin or RIAT if drones were allowed, bearing in mind how many people currently carry massive photographic lenses at these events. There would literally be hundreds of drones along the airshow crowdline - it would get completely out of control to the point where they would be colliding LOL! The golden age of drones is almost over sadly. They will become a victim of their own success same as Motor Cars were back in the day.

You've got a point there. ;)
