I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal flips. It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to flip backwards then forwards
From memory the guy who built it was working towards breaking the one wheeled vehicle land speed record. Hence turning wasn't much of a concern but speed was. I've seen footage of it going much faster :-)

I remember reading on his site he was considering building another model to beat the speed record. However he's going to have a tough time beating the 'Maclean Rocket Roadster' (http://www.kerrymclean.com/page13a.html)
