You have to see this one to believe it. This three month old girl gets the wheel going fast and then switches directions and begins to back flip like an acrobat from Cirque du Soleil. She somehow even manages to accelerate the wheel while backflipping which makes her arc smaller and smaller so it looks like she is hovering doing back tumbles in the bottom of the wheel. It is the oddest thing I've seen one of them do to date. I was giggling the whole time I saw it happening. I need a high speed camera to really get the goods on this one. Most of these photos are on the slower tumbles, larger arc, as I just havent been able to capture anything good on the really fast ones. And I mean FAST!

Bless the hubless Stealth Wheel.

truely amazing that needs to be sent to america's funniest videos. And I thought mine was talented when she rides on the outside of the wheel while the other one spins the wheel. How did you snap those pics??

LMAO!! I also have one that thinks she's a circus freak and will get going as fast as possible and then she'll stop and hang on while the wheel goes around 3-4 more times. 5 is the record to date!! They are so funny!

I have counted 18 free spins on my stealth wheel. They sure do love to get dizzy. We should start a group to fund installing stealth exercise wheel in the trees in Australia for sugars to enjoy. Observation webcams included of course.

Terry - This is hysterical!!!! Great Pictures!

Stealth Wheels are the greatest suggie invention ever. My girls have a blast on theirs each night, too. It's almost like they get it going so fast they cant keep up - then they either do the back flip or they hand on and take a ride - round and round and round.

You can purchase Stealth Wheels here:

http://sugaraesattic.com/index.htm

They are the most expensive wheel on the market - but they are worth every penny. They last forever, come in many colors and you can either get a stand, like in Kazko's pictures or you can get it so it mounts on the side of the cage.

I have the stand and zip tie it to the cage so that they can do their acrobatics without moving the wheel all over!

Every suggie should have a Stealth!!!

WooHoo, I havent had the opportunity to say this in awhile!

Can you tell Im a HUGE fan of the Stealth!

I took Rita's advice a few months ago and I am grateful. The "Ds" have three of them and they are all kept busy! The Bs only have one.... Ironically, as much as they love the stealth wheels, they still use the little blue solid plastic one we had before. I think they like the horrific noise it makes compared to the dead silence of the stealth wheels !!!!! Go FIGURE

I caught this little girl doing back flips in a Wodent wheel over the hub. this may be how she learned to do it because the bar is in the way. Someone needs to lend me their IR camera so I can get some footage.
