@ILSLanding I think i can help you on this one. I started pilot training at 15 and now i just turned 18 and I'm an instrument rated private pilot. The best time for you to start would probably be when you're three months away from your 17th birthday.. it saves a LOT of money. I'd also recommend doing the training over summer vacation from school. if i can help or answer any questions/etc., I'd be happy to :)
I got one little tip for you guys when you're doing a slip to land in a pattern. It will make life a lot easier for you are a tad high when you're turning base, then you can start your slip and adjust all the way through until you touch down. I used to think since I don't have flaps than I try to extend downwind a bit to get low, but I found out that is just making things more difficult.
sorry, I replayed the vid, and I guess it's the second, it reminds me of an episode of NG 's Air crash investigation (3/5) Air Canada Flight 143 (Gimli Glider)

@roofy2k thx for the response only I would add a small thing "crabbing is when the wings are level, if you're banked then it's a slip"
-Now, as Jason said, if you use that technique to lose altitude, it's a forward slip
- If you use it to land in crosswind, it's a side slip (thus you will land upwind wheel first)
There's still a mystery to me, with crosswind this technique keeps the plane "steady"
without crosswind, this very technique makes you lose altitude ?

ok that makes sense, but which is true:
- side slipping = crabbing + more roll
- side slipping = crabbing + more roll + rudder
