Question 737NG - Trimming in the flare??

http://www.flightlevel350.com/Aircra...ideo-7460.html

Saw this video on the web and once the flare begins (around about 2:45 in the vid) you can hear the trim being wound on in the background. This then stops as the main gear touches down. I am assuming here that nose up trim is being applied since it is the flare.

Can't find anything in my FCTM about this, seems a little dangerous at low level, surely an increased risk of tailstrike on the longer NGs if you overcook it? More difficult to judge flare? Lots of nose up tendency if balked landing? Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this.

Cheers,

Devils Martini.
