Practice carefully until you can do something impressive, then think about displaying.

Depends on your experience. If you´ve flown aerobatics in a BO105, or gunfight in a Cobra, you´re right. If the only experience with helicopters you have is watching the police and EMS ships crossing your town´s skyline, it may look differently.
And for display flying (which is not necessarily aerobatics), where the spectators are crowded on one side of the runway, you cannot do
high speed terrain following where the crowd will see you for a few seconds until you disappear behind the next hill.


So why not showing some things that planes can´t do and leave that high speed stuff to them?
