Thats a pretty sick loop he ends up with...quite a bit of doing to get it to go though. Maybe Silvercreek will let us know the mechanics of it all

That's a Spey cast. The first "D" is to switch the line from downstream to upstream. The back and forth was to extend the line back upstream in order to load it for the across and up cast. Notice that the water is flowing from left to right at a pretty fast clip.

I would say that it's probably improvised, rather than and accident.

The first part of that crazy cast semed to position the line just fine for the shoot. The other gyrations just seemed to be for the camera.
Look where his anchor lands after the first gyration then after all of the other fluff gyrations... same place so no gain except a good show!
