Default Death Slide?

What exactly is a death slide? Any good videos of this maneuver?

Thanks!

Its a knife edge that slowly sinks as close to the ground as you dare. Usually follwed by some spectacular maneuver like a rolling Harrier.

I always called it a death slip . Are these two different things? Cause a death slip doesnt slowly sink just a regular slip slowly sinks.

I like to start up a little high, roll to KE & cut throttle so a slow HA KE is started, then cut throttle a little more, hold the KE & let it drop as steep as possible, the real "pucker" comes when its so low you cant stand it any more, then feed in throttle to fly a low HA KE DOD. The U-Can-Do and Velox are great for this. ( the best IMO in this size)
