No it's even worse/better. He has to actually jump a tiny bit since his legs hold the force of him continuing into the wall. So he needs to jump a tiny bit, but not enough to completely overcome his momentum because he can't get it back.
This trick boggles my mind, I think the video has be to be rotated or something.
Edit: I think I can see it a bit better, just really impressive

You can see his lower body counteract the jump at the same time so the force of the tiny jump is still applied but the average momentum of his body doesn't change. Essentially the board/his feet see a jump, his torso sees a dip, and his center of mass sees no change
