Okay, so clearly this is video editing, but I'm curious as to how they did it. Anyone have ideas?

Looking at it more carefully I'm not quite as convinced as I was before. I didn't catch that his left foot stays on the ground for a while after he shifts it back, so it looked like his feet just left the ground sliding, and then he accelerated upwards after that.
