Only in Alaska. Having lived there I can say those guys are the experts.

That video was from last year's Valdez May day Fly-In.
http://www.valdezalaska.org/events/flyIn/flyIn.html
The plane taking off is the Cub Crafters "Carbon Cub", it's best take
off was 19 feet with a best landing of 53 feet. In front of hundreds of
people on a marked and measured taxiway.
Bill Wilcox had an 88 foot takeoff in his 801, then he went back to his
hangar and took the leading edge slats off and wanted another try, but
the judges didn't feel that it was appropriate for one of the guys
running the contest to make multiple runs in different configurations.

I viewed that video several times and I will say that it is quite impressive. I looked closely and didn't see a windsock to determine windspeed. You can clearly hear the wind whistling in the camcorders mic though. With a 25 knot headwind, about any well flown bush plane can do some amazing things.

I wonder how much headwind he had.. You could hear it in the mic.
