The second be of the vids is a good example of what can go wrong with trying to input crosswind technique.....if he had landed crab on it would've been much better. Instead he tries to kick it straight at the last second, causing more lift on the upwind wing and the downwind wing to drop, contacting the runway.
Landing crab in isn't a common occurrence, but it is a good tool in certain situations. Most of the time in a lighter crosswind putting in slip as sa226 described gives a smoother landing, as well as less stress on the gear.
