We’ve seen people backflip while riding a lot of things. Skis, skateboards, motorcycles, snowmobiles…but how about a backflip in a car?
That’s what this daredevil did in the French Alps when he backflipped a car.
From Orange:
”
Guerlain ÂChicherit, 31, successfully landed the Mini car after a 75ft jump for the stunt, at Tignes, which took four years to plan.
“Before the jump it was crazy. I was alone in the car before the start and I just had to do it, everything was ready,” he said.
“I had to arrive at 60kph and be full throttle in the kicker to get the right rotation.
“In the jump, I knew the balance of the car was good and it took me maybe 20 seconds to realise I had landed on my wheels.
“When you attempt something nobody has ever achieved before, the stress is really high but the only way is to just try it.”
