Not exactly an aerobatic maneuver. The pilot made a a fundamental mistake when initiating his turn. He had established a level minimum altitude. When he began the turn, he should have pitched up initially so the low wing never went below that minimum altitude. Instead, he simply banked, dropping the low wing significantly closer to the surface; indicative of very limited experience in low altitude maneuvering.
