I looked at it again, I might be wrong but that little embankment to the right (your left on final ) prob created some rotor sink, but it looked like you had no choice but to land crosswind due to space?
i shot the vid, so i'm not the pilot, but i agree that more speed on approach would be useful. and there may be some rotor from the terrain, but it feels more like a standard gradient stall when coming in too slowly from back in the slot. likely accentuated by the terrain.
Oh man, I hopes it's just a couple down tubes. I use a pair of little snap on hotwheels because it can make all the difference. Lets face it, we all screw up sometimes.
Flying to slow you Stalled.... there is something called a wind gradient
