Because moving the bike backwards causes the pedals to go backwards too. Pedaling it backwards doesn't make it go in reverse, but he wouldn't be able to move if he didn't.
this is called a track stand, originally done on track bikes which are single gear or fixed gear like lobzdik was saying but it is possible on a gear bike, you simply go slightly uphill then when you need to go back just roll, takes alot of practive tho
oi oi guys holy sh"tu guys i just met him down little woods today in gravsend no lie i saw him come in and i thought it was one of thoose idiots that cant jump on 2k bikes so as a laugh we said jump this 10ft jump he dissapared then he went flying through the air he even gave me some jumping tips and told me my jumping is exellent
What you are talking about is called fixed gear. But this is not what they are using. They have regular freewheel set ups like a regular mountain bike.
this is insanely good!
these guys were born on bikes lol

k, why do u need to pedal backwards, witha MTB when u pedal backwards it just resets the pedals, it doesnt create any momentum backwards

Lock the front breaks. Lean forwards. Throw your weight backwards and let go of the front breaks and pedal backwards. Hope that helps.
