That was my reaction too - just flying it on sideways works ok on a wet runway, but not ok on a dry one - huge side loads on the gear and tends to lift the upwind wing, which can be the start of a lurching, messy roll out. Quite nice landing for the conditions, but IMHO, not particularly an example of superior stick and rudder skills a propos the subject.
