I've been riding rollers for a while and I'm nowhere near what that guy does. Here's some tips on his tricks, though: Bigger rollers == easier control. It's lower resistance and you can spin a higher gear, so the bike gyros more heavily and stays fairly stable. I use 3.75" drums, which is big enough to control easily, but enough resistance that I can ride my 44/18 fixie and still get a workout at 90 - 100rpm.
I can do the one foot, and on a good day I can go no-hands for 3 - 4 seconds, I've done the stop/start before but I wouldn't claim that I could do it repeatedly and on purpose.
My best trick is just staying upright and not falling off the sides.
