Its the infamous Manchester bump that you are seeing.

Pilots have spent years trying to level it out but its not moving.

If you manage it you can touch the wheels down just on the top for a greaser. Touch down before it and the ground is coming up to meet you doubling your ROD. And if you miss the top it drops away leaving you running out of energy and dropping onto the runway.
