I would not use "skidding" to describe what happened. It looks to me the crew applied too much power while the nose wheel still had a large steering angle and the aircraft understeered. When s/he closed the throttle and the force is removed, the nose wheel tyre regain grip and aircraft went where the nose was pointing.

From the video, he didn't loose too much runway distance. So I can't see a fault in what he did but he'll have to explain where the bold spot on the tyres came from!
