Presuming the throttles were both closed, there would be little P factor, nor gyroscopic effect. Those are factors during takeoff. Any wind seemed pretty small, as the aircraft did not appear to be being flown so as to compensate for a crosswind. The brisk application of rudder occurred late in an otherwise pretty straight rollout. Tailwheel planes are unforgiving of heading excursions on the runway.
