Soft field takeoff in an Airbus?
 
Is this guy doing a soft field takeoff with a 50ft obstacle in an Airbus? Maybe he is practicing his Chandells for his upcoming commercial ride?

Does not appear to be anything other than some line guy at a local airshow doing his thing.

The demo pilots for Airbus do not level off and suck up the gear as in this video. They generally just do a climb with max AoA.

In this video, it appears the guy sucks up the gear and then just goes full aft stick in the 319. Nice way to get a tail strike...

Cut the guy some slack. At least he didn't take out a bunch of trees.

i believe that he was just showing off the performance of the ac, with no passengers on board

He didnt do anything wrong. And there was no chance of a tail strike here.
