I have actually seen this particular air show act at the Reno National Air Races and these photo are an accurate reflection of what I have seen in person. He really does fly inverted under those ribbons. Also the ribbon connecting the poles is designed to to be easily broken or cut. So he first makes an inverted pass under the ribbons and then makes a second inverted pass slightly over the ribbons but close enough to cut them with his rudder. A very impressive demonstration of flying skill.
