Because of the angle of the video, it is difficult to see quality of this remote dirt strip and any possibility that runway conditions may have been a factor.
But that tail did come down very quickly, which I would recommend against in a taildragger. I’m not sure about multi engine versions but certainly on the singles, the faster you change the pitch attitude the more force that will act 90 degrees to the pitch to swing the aircraft.
