It's far from showing an example. He is cutting it way too close to
the trees toward the end of the video, as well as only 50 feet
perhaps, above a power line like Tony mentions.

I would be ****ed if I saw anyone doing that at my local airport!....:-

Agreed. He's an idiot! He should be embarassed to post such a
video. Our club rule (advice) is that at 1000 agl you're in a
"circuit," or a "pattern" for the chosen field. Didn't he consider
the other gliders in the normal circuit? What if there was a student
pilot on solo concentrating on making his first landing while this
joker was sneaking in just over the fence?
