How did the bike driver reduce his momentum?

$begingroup$


Consider the following GIF



The bike driver gained relatively large momentum from the ride.



My question is, how the flip he made helped him reducing his momentum and landing safely?

    It looks like the bike was already stopped when he made the flip.

    I think the brakes were responsible for reducing momentum,not the flip.

No doubt if he didn't apply his brakes and made the flip, he'll surely be in an hospital right after. His velocity was ~0 when he started the flip and 100% zero when he's half way through it, so he was only able to harness a little bit of momentum his body had just before the bike stopped to launch himself, and as soon as he's half way, the fall was pretty gentle since the bike has stopped. So all the guy will be giving credit for is the coordination, timing, and precision he put into the stunt.

He converted his horizontal momentum into vertical by a rotation of 90 degrees around his steer. Friction kept the moped into place.
