Of course it was a pilot thing. After all, look what Bob Hoover does with a corporate twin!
The point is, if this guy screwed up a simple roll in a Pitts...

Low level, slow speed, climbing roll... NOT simple.

I understand what you are saying David and I am sure you are gesting abit. They may have moxie, but their dedication to training and practice and a regime that keeps skills sharp is what they have.
I can not think of any manuever I perform in my airplane that I ever ask my self "do you have the guts to do it?" If I have to ask the question, I have not prepared properly. I am still trying to work up to the point I don't have to ask that question with a snap roll in the Bucker. I am not sure I will ever get there.
