Why are people calling this a "tail slide?"  It's a cobra.  A rapid change in nose orientation, similar to what the Su-30 Flanker does.  A tail slide is when you fall straight downward from a climb, without doing a hammerhead. 

Been known about since 2005: http://john-sanderson.com/files/Aces%20High/old/Cobra30mm.ahf

Nothin' new, seems like a lot of people like to rely on gimmicks and gaminess in AH these days.

The cobra is a high AOA braking maneuver. The "tail slide" is more like a lomcevak, both are initiated with a snap roll.

If were going to make up names for it, I vote Nirshida's  'Cobra Roll' ©™:-

   Although Uptown your pick is unique " the Latrobe Fancy Move"  it just not catchy like 'Cobra Roll' ©™ or maybe the Luft Wobble since the K4 is so good with it.
Whether you think you can or cannot, you are right!

Another fine opportunity for a p!55-take missed. The Cobra Roll is Chalenge's [sarcasm]fantastic[/sarcasm] ACM. The fact that if you count the seconds taken for his outrageous maneouvre it takes longer than conventional turning and requires 3000 feet height advantage is entirely besides the point.

Watch the video, it's a hoot.

Well, you're right about that. But, this thing Latrobe is doing is even older. It's called a Top Rudder Stall, or Over the Top Stall depending on who you talk to. It has nothing in common with either Cobra move. Just another part of stall fighting. Cobra's have nothing to do with slow speed.

Clueless as usual ho-master. The cobra roll has been around for decades. It has nothing to do with stall fighting. You dweebs keep trying to reinvent the wheel when everything you can do has already been mastered long before you were born, and named.

Even roller-coaster designers know what a cobra roll is. Your attempt at [sarcasm]insult[/sarcasm] fails as usual.
