The 'spot turn' on ground looks like someone rushed it to save some fuel/engine running dosh.

Forgive me, lowly R22 pilot, but if he had such forward CG in hover, wouldn't he have low enough fuel in tanks to have better IGE performance, not to hover left skid so close to ground? Then trying to speed up so quickly so low.. Oopsy.

True, the CPL guy next to him should have asked him to hover higher and be more gentle on take off. Was the low time pilot owner or related to owner by any chance, that the CPL guy kept quiet or didn't try to be heavy on controls?
