I know I'm a moron but isn't this just purely visual? Like wouldn't this be the same as doing it on the ground? Still looks really cool regardless but as far as degree of difficulty isn't this just pretty much as hard as doing it anywhere else? I know this is extraordinarily difficult stuff anyways and it's still impressive, I just don't really get the point of the train other than just kinda looking neat cause of the frame of reference.
There's couple extra factors
Wind - he's sometimes moving even backwards on relation to the earth. That means you'll feel the air resistance completely messing with your brain
The platforms - it's extremely narrow, just 2m wide or something. He has to land the tricks very accurately to not get thrown off the train
The fucking train - there's a non-zero chance in this to get driven over by a train
