Whenever you see something really impressive and skillful, it's important to know it came after a fuck ton of hard work. The internet has given us a huge stream of rewards but never shown us all the practice.

He has to be going about that fast, because he needs the forward moving momentum of the bike to make that leap. This isn't a stunt that could be done at really slow speeds.
My son could probably do something similar, but on a mountain bike. His goal used to be becoming a pro rider, but that ended at the exact same time that he broke a collarbone. He could, probably still can, do all sorts of neat tricks, like climbing stairs sideways or bunny hopping up onto railings. He could hop up inclines, or down them, on just his back tire.
He was pretty good but his downfall is that he is also an idiot. His very first sanctioned race, he tried to best the times of the professionals when he was an amateur and the race course was already in shambles. He hit the first major corner at speeds like twice the speeds I saw the pros do it. He bit it pretty hard and broke his collarbone. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen him do.

Look below the tape and you can see a couple failed attempts. Impressive nevertheless.

His failed attempts left skid marks in the road.
My failed attempts would have left them in my shorts.

How much is it slowed down/how fast is he actually going?

That's the beauty of it. There's not much variation in how this could successfully be done. Nice benchmark, actually.

This is me when I go to respond to a nasty comment and then decide I can't be fucked.

That is really awesome

This is much less impressive on a unicycle, but would be much more impressive with a trike.
