During his performances, Bill keeps spectators breathless with the opening half-roll on takeoff to his trademark conclusion-an inverted ribbon cut. He flies at 260 km per hour at 14 feet above the ground, shredding a ribbon stretched between two poles 20 metres apart. During his routine, he expertly performs a number of difficult manoeuvres including tailslides, hammerheads, loops, rolls and one of the longest knife-edge passes in the world.
