I think I know how he did it. He timed his pedaling so his knee was in the low position on the side to which he was turning. On recumbents with a small front wheel and the chainrings out in front or above the front wheel, you have to time your strokes so the leg and foot on the inside of the turn don't hit the wheel, so he may also have turned his knee on that side inward. Not recommended for the knee.
One of the reasons I recommended the two Sun bikes is that they are easier to learn. The pedals are behind the front wheel.
