Great Landing

As a non pilot it seems that he managed to hold the nose off the ground for ages, until he was down to a very low speed. This must have been beneficial in terms of risk and damage. There is plenty of video about of similar instances but subjectively this guy/gal seems to have been able to hold the nose gear (or nose in this case!!!) off the tarmac for longest. Does this indicate a superior piece of flying?? I guess it does....do many of you pilots practice this type of event in the sim?
