This is exactly the same for my mate Anthony , he can't stand barrel rolls, moreover he adds that without them, he could be really better in term of highscores.
You know my point on them : i like that technique that adds a new dimension to the game on the jumps, especially when you do that with internal view.
agree with nub but not with Dpad since i adopt a new way of doing the BR, sorry i don't have the words to describe that and i let Stin explaining it ( if he reminds that ! )
