When was the last time anyone did a pick your field practice?
For me, an hour ago, power off from downwind to rollout. Touchdown within 150 of my selected spot, so I was pleased.

I was taught it when learning and usually it was down to 100-200ft and then power away.
I think that's pretty common. However, when I practice myself, and train other pilots, I'll set things up so it'll be a full landing, it's better practice. You'd be surprised at the factors which can affect your landing, which only come into affect in the last 100 feet!

Looking at the picture, appears to be evidence of heavy braking on left mainwheel
Or, just a really hard hit. Looking at the surroundings, I would not be thinking braking as an early element of that forced landing - lot's of room, even with zero flaps extended. I think that landing there, you'd have to add power to make it to the apron!
