A full backflip in a 2013 MINI John Cooper Works [video]

Ever wonder what a freestyle skier would do in a 2013 MINI from John Cooper Works?  Well, someone did because they gave one to freestyle skier and rally driver Guerlain Chicherit and he went to his favorite ski spot in Tignes, France and did a complete backflip.. in the car.. off a ski ramp..

You have to watch to believe it.  This is the first time a car has been put on a static ski ramp and flipped over in a complete 360 and landed on its wheels.
