This guy is not human.
How do you learn to do stuff like this without dying, a lot.

You should google trials motorcycles and see what those guys do with a motorcycle. Its the same thing as this guy but more as they have a motor to pull them up the side of rocks and mountains.
Their balance is amazing and while I have ridden a bike for 40+ years, I could never get close to what they do.

What fascinates me about this guy is how he manages to propel himself a good distance without any apparent momentum.

I think it's illegal to ride bikes on the pavement in the UK, so you have to improvise.

As a recently retired BMX rider, I can tell you that a lot of what he's doing is really not that hard. The 360s and the bunnyhops are not difficult, you just need a lot of strength to pull it off. The transistions he's making are pretty good, but I've seen better riders out there.
I saw a guy ride across a suspended chain once, that was wicked. here, check out these guys:

I'm happy if I can make it to the end of the block without falling off...
