No offense but the pilot wouldn't have had to work so hard saving the airplanes if he had even used a small bit of crosswind correction. The windsock showed the wind from the right at about 10knts and he touched down on the left wheel. I currently fly a N3N and have several hundred hours in them.
@matthiashaenni ow yeah, he had nearly exclusive images of the crash of a N3N!!! ;-) but still nice vid because he can spot this from so close by the runway!!!
Good recovery!! The N3N can be a hand-full especially 3 pointing in a cross wind on asphalt.

Been there. Done that. Deer Park can get some good X-winds! Great video and flying. When was the comp? I didn't know about it.
I talked to Terry. Heard you are quite the pilot!

Is it because of the fps that the camera is filming, that the front rotor is almost not spinning? Or is that pilot intented?

@Electro1313 If you watch closely its the fps from the camera
