I love his style, the ultimate driver is distraction !
The ultimate killer in recovery is disorientation, one rarely stalls with eyes looking at aircraft nose or instrument, they are usually watching some conflicting bird/traffic or some ground feature under the wings then BANG: by the time they align heads they are still “inside a$$ mode” which usually involve pulling on stick and adding lot of power…
It’s hard to recover from stall/spin and level the wings with the head fixated on something outside: anyone who stalled slippery gliders in strong thermals/ridges while looking at something else can attest how surprised they were when the wings bites, the recovery is easy but still one has to resist wrong inputs while turning their head & yoke at the same time
Also at low level near the ground, some human factors kicks in bellow 500ft agl, the brown part tend to fill the whole picture outside and adds lot to disorientation and the natural urge to pull (it’s real when one does aerobatics at the lowest part of the box, avoiding the ground by pulling has to be resisted, you have to fly horizon, speed and load)
In “training mode”: one is consistently looking at aircraft nose/instruments with half blue/brown outside, that is nowhere near “the real thing” in the circuit, the head will be -45deg pitch/-45deg roll, the wing will be +45deg pitch/+60deg roll with ground everywhere…

) but that goes gets into trying the curse rather than cure it (a bit like how people crashed more light unpowered twins on engine failures exercises than real ones)
, just being nostalgic
