ouch !!! .. was looking good up until then tho, I bet thats been said before

that rotation with the front skid tip on the ground was pretty cool, as was that climbing reversing helix kinda thing, very impressive

Bet he has done that 100's of times before.

Normally pulling out at 5-10ft.

Got away with it for years. Ultimate extremist.

Total skill

Skid on the ground for the rotation, Deeknow yes that was awesome.

Wow - that guy sure knows how to work and eggbeater!

I read in the comments that it wasn't his chopper, but a rental... well, if you're gonna bust some kit, I suppose it might as well be someone else's!

Glad to hear he was ok afterwards - does anyone know if he walked away or had any injuries? Bet he was kicking himself afterward, too. One small mis-step after 13,000 hours - crunch.

At least on the flight sim you can just press the ESC key...

Says in the video description that he walked away, pretty amazing huh

A rental helicopter you say? One that is not approved for aerobatic flight? Surely not. So if it hadn't crashed some other poor pilot would have had to have flown an aircraft that may have been over stressed.
Its not 911 that they should have been ringing but the local FAA office should this be the case.
