Default Is this a new manuever? or a dudd?

The maneuver starts with a inverted backward flight. You then enter a backward outside loop and terminate it at top with a wall with minimal height change. You then trace back the loop and come back down in upright backward orientation.

I decided to call it "Letter C".
Does anyone have a better name for it?

I saw him do this and I thought he aborted a loop. Later, while watching the video, I found out that he did not abort the loop but it was intentional when I noticed the trajectory matched that of going up.



Here is that video. The maneuver is around 3/4 point or at 4:10 mark

I have never seen that move either. I told him at that moment "Why did you abort the loop, it looked ugly!" I felt like a complete A** telling him "That looked pretty cool!" after watching the video couple of times and figureing out that was intentional.
