Was very evident from the video he didn't have enough altitude and ran out of room.

After watching this about a hundred times I think he had sufficient altitude to complete the maneuver but it was very asymetric. He had good rotation at the top but eased off on the back side and by the time he realized how close he was to the surface all he had left was a stick in his belly and a stalled airplane. Very sad to watch. Just the opinion of an old looper.
