@hangglider yes try that technique next time! When I was a beginner I would often lose control while landing because I was too slow. Now I always pull in and come in for a landing with a lot of speed and it gives me good control until the final flare.
That's tough to watch. A bit of extra airspeed in trashy air is good/optional (depending on your skill level) when you have altitude but coming in for a landing in trashy air demands extra airspeed to punch through the trash. You could have stayed on course for a straight in approach had you had that additional airspeed...
Wind looked very strong, it's always hard to tell what's going on with wide angle lens
Did you have enough speed? I'm not sure but I don't think you pulled in a lot (which would have given you more control as you probably know!)?
You're right. The supervisor told me to increase the speed. But I did not. It resulted in the crush maybe for that reason.

I'm brand new at this and don't know squat, but every time I see one of these videos of a botched landing, I think "Bigger Wheels".
What's up Steve? Things going well at sonora?
@5.50 Would have been a good time to increase speed and get into ground effect quickly... The conditions look Difficult.

Yes. I should have added more speed.
