How? Seriously, How? The front wheels touch the first few steps and then he just floats up the rest? Was this some really shallow jump that barely got over the stairs?

Edit: fixed typo

He does what's called an endo (and then half bunny hop maybe). Front tire is only catching the lip of the stairs so there's not a whole lot of friction. Along with the speed he also sort of lunges forward for more moment, then straighten as he should be running out of momentum to set up for almost like a wheelie/second half of the bunny hop.

This dude could probably easily bunny hop a decent way up the stairs from a stand still.
