If you'd been sat above the undercarriage that would have felt bumpy. If you'd been sat at the very back the less physically tolerant of us may have felt a little queasy!

And no, that's not normal landing technique, but in saying that it's not unusual, although it places unnecessary stresses on the airframe. Remember that some components are replaced/maintained (=money) based on the number of landings, well there's three in that vid . But hey, unless anybody here was on that flightdeck or knows the precise conditions at the time, they should keep their mouths well and truly shut before slagging off any pilot's landing.
