Swiss get mad in Paris - Backflip!

[Vincent Berruchon]

This is not really slalom but it happened one of the morning during the Paris Slalom World Cup 2004. On Sunday I think as the road was still wet.
The bank used is in fact the start ramp of the race, not the best but it's work!
This is the first Back Loop try of Yvon Labarthe (well know DH competitor). His board is equiped with hooks. He wanted to try one more time but organizers get back the ramp to avoid an accident
The movies is MPEG from my camera, it's about 6Mo:
