Daredevil Chicherit backflips Mini

27 February 2013 13:33

French daredevil Guerlain Chicherit took to the snowy peaks of Tignes, France to perform the world's first ever 360 degree backflip in a car.

The professional skier and four-time freeride world champion proved he has a taste for adrenaline, speeding towards a 25 foot ramp before soaring 40 feet into the air in a specially built Mini Countryman.

Chicerit, who has also made a name for himself as a rally driver, spent four years meticulously planning for the stunt.

He completed the first stunt in private on Sunday and then repeated the feat later in front of thousands of fans.
