Geeezus efffing crap - are you kidding me? That is one lucky take off. Density altitude issue? Maybe - Looks to be middle of the day. Carb heat or mixture could have also been a factor too. Over gross? Maybe. It sure took a loooong time for that tail to come up. Even in HD alt situations, I think that the tail would come up quicker than that on a light aircraft. As the pilot rotates, she banks right to avoid the trees. It almost looks as if she has done that before. If so, then that is a VERY STUPID move - zero margin for error.
That was literally inches from ending very badly. The old saying goes that, "there are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old
and bold pilots." That is a classic for "hold my beer and watch this." Jeez...
