Wait, if the backpedal is for balance, what's propelling him backwards? Momentum?

I'd have to look closely but you can pump a bike without engaging the drive train. It's a bmx thing where you amplify the momentum with downward pressure. This is way outside my knowledge base but pump tracks are a thing. I assume you (if your name is Danny McCaskill) can do this backwards as well as forwards.

Thanks, it just seemed counterintuitive, but obviously there's a whole set of physics I know nothing about at work here.

Wow, that looks like a lot of work, I had no idea you had that much control.
I never saw a unicycle with a spare tire before.

Nice solo ride tonight. 1 hour and 20 minutes of wooded bliss, so to speak.

You should take a minute to read the story of Major Taylor, the Worcester Whirlwind.
