Nosewheel aircraft on soft field. And just to add interest, tall trees at the end of the run! He never had it flying at all, tried to hoik it up so the attitude was nose high, angle of attack too high, stall, aircraft actually drops the wing with the start of a spin....

I saw a glider do that once. Failed winch launch, instructor did not take over in time....but both pilots survived. No fire.
