Wing flexing, and cabin interior creaking, shows that it's a fairly rough arrival.

Nice job.
I've seen a few cross-wind landing videos like this where the into-wind wing gets lifted during the de-crab, and can't help but wonder if the roll gets started from further effect of rudder. Then, in the absence of any aileron input to hold the into-wind wing down, the crosswind gets under the wing and continues the roll.
If the into-wind wing is held down, a gust will result in translation across the runway, not roll.
Can't see the de-crab rudder input very well on the exterior video, but maybe someone who drives these things can comment?
