I never opened the gif til now....
What struck me is the lack of shadows cast by the biker anywhere in the forest scene in relation to the light source. If you look closely at the air born bikers, you'll notice as if there's an aura around them - pixels are moving. Whereas the forest trees and the rest of the scene behind them are perfectly still. The aura looks like feathered and highly blurred remnants surrounding the biker as if cut from another image.
One possibility would be the animation creator took the video of the biker's jump run. For the entire background scene, he selected the first best forest still frame in the video just before the biker came into view. Depending on how many frames per second the camera was rolling, he then selected appropriate frames to edit the video - frame by frame - to isolate the bickers, discarded the rest and proceeded to superimpose the appropriate biker jump sequences into the forest still.
Unless he worked with an entirely different video stock. Unlikely, but it would have been an almost perfect, highly tedious and precise edit done with perfectly matching stock materials.
