Honestly, not that impressive, remember, power on stall speed for a Super Cub is a mere 38 MPH, and power off stall speed is only 43 MPH. With some modifications and a skinny pilot, these can be even lower. How fast can a typical vehicle stop, going up hill, from 38 MPH? I knew a lot of bush pilots when I lived in AK who could land and take off in an extremely short amount of ground space.

If he kept low to the ground after taking off that would be the kind of flying I wouldn't mind too much, it's when they head skywards and do loops and stuff that I have a problem.
