Great flying, great machine, but what a crap video edit.
Hardly a single shot held long enough to get a perspective of the action.
The editor should go back to MTV.
But, thanks anyway.

I would guess keeping the blades spinning with high inertia has a lot to do with it.

He doesn't need to keep positive G's....it has a rigid rotor....

The first BO 105 test pilot was mailed home in a glad sandwich bag for doin' that stuff. The video was on the net for a while but it's gone now. He did a wing-over into cumulus granite while giving the same demonstration. A rigid rotor is no good if you run out of altitude regardless of the number G's you put on it.
