ok dumb question how does the plane not fall over with only the central landing gear

It almost looks like he shut the jet engine off before he landed, otherwise the chase car would have been in the wash and hard to handle.

They have beefy wingtip skids for landing. Under the wings there are attatcment points for "pogos" a short shaft with a wheel at the end. these fall off during takeoff. they re-attach them after landing.
