First they record the real hamster, but when it's about to start the image is cut just where the hamster should be (so we can't see it). Then we see a fast moving stuffed animal, and the take is cut again and mixed with other video with the real hamster. (I know it doesn't matter, this is an explanation for those who say it's real) It’s funny, though I must say it’s fake.

They relied on out of frame shots and speed to obscure the fact that they used a stuffed hamster. But still cute, nonetheless. Obviously fake.

But i looks like they used a well secured fake hammie for the stunt scene, and the real one for the beginning and end. :) At least i hope so... :/ I agree in the dangerousness of this stunt, if they used the real hamster the whole time.

Probably not. I had an Evil Kenivel stunt cycle when I was a kid. I'm sure I got the bendy Evil action figure over longer jumps than that. The crank on the side spins up a flywheel in the bike that not only acts as the drive, but also gyroscopically stabilizes it. As long as the hamster doesn't fall off, the bike will do the rest. I'd also disagree that this is cute, on the grounds that its not particularly safe. The gyroscope can also cause the bike to spin quite violently as it rights itself after toppling. Remember kids - stunts are best left to professionals and bendy toys. Fake? Probably not. I had an Evil Kenivel stunt cycle when I was a kid.
