Legal? I've looked and never found nor heard of a minimum altitude limit in
the FARs. The FARs do require that we maintain at least 500' separation
from any person, vehicle or structure.
In that entire video, I only saw one vehicle and the trikes banked away from
it. It's a bit hard to tell from the very wide angle lens but it looked to
me like about a thousand foot separation (WAG).
So, that's fully legal.

authors to get "found" by new readers these days.)
