Analysis
The insturctor (CFI) was demonstrating a soft field takeoff from a grass area beside the rwy. At that time, the acft lifted off, then settled back onto the grass. The CFI reported that the right main gear touched down in a hole which caused the acft to veer right & to pitch up. The acft became airborne again, but the stall warning sounded & the acft touched down again. The CFI then initiated abort procedures, but the acft became airborne again & descend down a slope where it collided with trees before coming to rest.
