This part of the explanation demonstration video is pretty similar to a skateboarding ollie which also is somewhat unintuitive physically: https://youtu.be/-eEi7fO0_O0?t=436

A nice video of slow-motion ollies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jig3uiYsb4w (no fluff and exposition, so you can tell it was uploaded 7 years ago...)

Discovered (re-discovered?) in 2013 by Steve Mould, as shown on its youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dQJBBklpQQ

He then talked about its discovery and follow-on in a TEDx talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmFi1xhz9OQ
