For us taildragger guys, it is preferable to do one of these 'perfect' landings rather than ground loop. It always helps to have lots of practice, tugging gliders has given me this opportunity. I'm currently working on my instrument rating in an Arrow and it lands fine in crosswind too, just have to remember to kick the rudder out before the nosewheel touches down.
