Some awesome hip CA!! Pretty sweet turns. Shows us what great hip CA can help produce.
Is it Norwegian? If so I can get it translated.

Even the foot pullback is wrong. He's extending and throwing his upper body rather than pulling back with the hamstrings and glutes. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig...

The idea isn't to just crank your hips to a position and hold them, the idea to be moving your hips opposite the turn direction throughout the turn as needed to counteract the femoral rotation induced by tipping. This guy starts out with the classic hip dump--counteract fully on an extended leg and then sit the butt down. What saves him somewhat is that he then flexes. Although the timing is completely bass-ackwards, the fact that he flexes unlocks him somewhat and introduces enough movement to distract from the fact that he is parking and riding.
