...just don't try one-wheel landings with certain motor-gliders that spring to mind. "Kicking it straight" is the only way with a long, low wing unless the crosswind is negligible.

I really don't like the "Kicking it straight" phrase. It conveys the thought of an uncontrolled boot on the downwind rudder rather than the purposeful/thoughtful and possibly large shove that's needed.
