that tree looks like he scarfed it, got in a shallow backcut, but the tree sat back, now he's just putting in another notch on the other side to drop the tree effortlessly. I do it a hundred times a day, on the flats mainly, let the trees tip where they want to, but going by all the hacking on the front of that tree in the pic - well, does that operator know what he's doing or not? Then again, often a quick cut gives an indication of which way she'll tip, but all in all it looks like a bit amateurish to me
Ah yes, no skidders involved when thinning to waste, entirely the 'cutters' choice as to where the trees go .. road edges or fencelines - that's another story..
