I assume the tyre smoke is the result of the main gear traversing the last taxiway on the left, between stretches on the grass, whilst the brakes are rather solidly applied. Perhaps the only way you could ever get a Victor to lock its brakes!

Rather you than me, VP. And well done for getting it back together in time, although there is an instant - when the nose first dips back groundward - when there is a definite "oh ****" moment. Maybe not the only one from that clip either...
