Very sporty!

Had a landing like that downhill, learning to fly. Fortunately I had the CFI in the seat next to me insisting that I hold the stick fully back and brake firmly only after the nose wheel dropped. Stopped with a hundred yards to spare, but left to my own devices, would have gone through a row of parked aircraft and a hedge.

I learned that day just how quick you could stop once all three wheels were on the ground and the wing was fully stalled and how long you would float if you tried to follow the ground downhill.
