Be quiet Reaper90! How dare you speak to I'mChallenged that way, know your place until you've mastered sophisticated and snappy ACM like his fantastic 'Cobra Roll' ©™:-

Lol. omg really?


Wow, challenge. I don't know how you killed that guy with that 5k alt disadvantage you had.

nice "signature" move you got there.

does this count as a tail slide or does the rotation make it something else?


oops, I forgot the link

That's a tailslide with rotation.   :aok   The non-rotating tail slide is trickier.

Watch out, next thing you know, he's going to attempt to force people to pay just to fight him in the MA.

Wasn't much of a cobra roll, that's for sure. A simple rope is what I saw form the youtube onboard

1.) Amazed to see this thread is still active...Fulcrum decides to peek in. 

2.) Fulcrum watches video of patent-pending "Cobra Roll".

3.) Fulcrum gets a good laugh and recalls why he's never subscribed to Chalenge's Youtube videos.

4.) Fulcrum wonders why he's writing in third-person style?

 :huh *shrug*  :banana:

Cobra roll, tail slide, hammerhead, whatever.  All I know is I just love entering a furball for the first time when a bandit is taking up one of my countrymen into the vertical and reaching out and saying hello with 6 .50 caliber machine guns while they're hanging there like a ripe piece of fruit ready to be picked.  I call it the "wow that explosion sounded cool" maneuver.
Fight's on!

Had first hand experience of Latrobe's U-turn stall tonight. While he didn't manage to quite kill me with the move, and even though predictably he lost all angles positioning in the attempt, I have to say it is a terrifying experience to see his plane spin towards me like that. He did kill me many times without using the U-turn stall. Most excellent fights and very fine Jug flying.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.
