Kale has likely practiced this many times to get to a point where he can press a weight overhead but there is a high risk for little reward.
I would rather stick to a single leg deadlift or a split squat with a bench supporting your back foot (Bulgarian split squat). This challenges your balance and develops your leg strength but without the high risk of wiping out.
For me is easy get on my knees but when it comes to the squat...
Anyway, Great videos! It a sorrow that I discovered you after leaving Avalon. Beutifull place!

Anyway, I can get on and off a bosu without help now. That said, it helps to stand facing a wall on either the bosu or the ball. I used that as a crutch until I was able to do it on my own. You can put your hands against the wall for support at first and when you lose your balance. Works really well until you get the hang of it. Starting on the bosu was a good suggestion, Kale.
