I'm guessing you haven't ridden a no-sno. Back when Martyn posted these videos it was popular opinion that you couldn't do that kind of stuff on a no-sno. Martyn James is one of the best freeriders in the world, check out his part in BFC-Like This, one of the best parts in a mountainnoard video ever imo!
No Sno always look great for hauling ass offroad for speed / stability but they don't turn much (which is why they are stable, I would guess).
Yeah no-snos turn from the deck as much as they do the trucks, I love it, they behave much more like snowboards than a regular atb. They are very heavy, and were the butt of many a joke from freestylers, Martyn James changed all that by making these vids. You still don't see many people freestyling no-snos, but he's paved the way for people to try. That and the custom decks which are alot stiffer than the old decks and give a lot more pop. I haven't been to any comps this year but Myles Hillier was podiuming last season:
