Landing Low
I've stood under the planes landing at Sint Maarten, but this it right there with as low as you can go.

I found a longer clip with more info - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWetojC0ul0
As for the threshold - I don't think this is how it's supposed to be done.
the two nearest are from this landing. You can see he put the right side down first, not just before the threshold but before the displaced threshold markings, as well as kangaroo'ing it down the runway.

Ya know while fun to watch somehow standing in the flight path known for low landings while a plane comes in, in windy conditions just does not seem prudent to me. But some probably say the same about some of my knucklehead adventures.
