Although not a turn, I always refer to the bottomless pit, entering the first tunnel at Vineta K Rev, as SaturnĀ“s Cave.
SaturnReturn will know why - a video might even (still) exist

Ah I think I do too, that is one of the early Nordics vs Flying Dutchmen matches isn't it?
Don't some tracks actually have original names for some turns? I thought there were a few names at www.wipeoutpure.com.
And we Masochistic racers try to pass over them.
I think we could also name the Barrel Rolls...
many of them found by Leungbok or pirhapac or Flashback_Jack.
Too many found by that trio.
It would get confusing for those that don't know of them ,not that there would be that many here who haven't seen their exploits on the various video posts.
the concept of"Barrel Roll Locations" is fairly redundant in HD given that you can barrel roll basically anywhere that has a bump which is at least as high as dog turd and which doesn`t have a mag-strip.
However I think certain turbo tricks that involve BRs are worthy of names, but some already have them. I really like eL`s "Petunia" for the chicane that is jumped on Ubermall. I like it even more when eL is chasing me there and jumps off the track, if this has ever happend
Real race tracks don`t have descriptions of what the sections are do they? So you don`t use words like "chicane", "bend" etc. So on Ubermall we would just have "Cat" and "Petunia" to describe those key parts. I also like just "Bollocks" as Hellfire said for the Chenghou spiral, as in "I was flying into Bollocks at an uncontrollable speed."
also I think "Chuck Norris" works great for the hairpin
BR trick #1: Leungbok Bop - pitch down -> up -> fire turbo. Insta'Air!
I also very much like Bollocks Bend My only problem is that I have several turns with that description!
Heh, Stephen, I knew right then when I flew off the track, waving to the pot of Petunias, that you were gonna rub this in my face
I really like the name Bollocks Bend at Chenghou as well
I remember back in September when HD came out, I would always forget about the small dent on the magstrip of Moa Therma (you know, where the loop crosses), and crash into it because I just couldn't remember it was there. That's why I call the right part of the Moa magstrip (left on reverse) the Parking Lane
God both these corners are right up there on the Cuntyometer. The one on Sichuan Province [Chengou Project], no amount of Triakis skils can turn the Triakis ship successfully around that corner without cutting the throttle power. I just go through a max velocity and take that right wall out, with the side of the ship along with anyone in my racing line, its also a similar fate while navigating on the final Bend on Sol2. Like i always say with my motto;
"When In Doubt,
Go Flat Out"
[I practice alot in real life also, lol]
I can think of a few names for that blind turn on Metropia reverse, but at the risk of getting a scalding I won't be posting them
pot of petunia : hahaha nice one! i usually land in the flowers... especially on reverse...
lunar: naming BRs would be about the USEFUL ones, as many BRs are completely
useless
Sorry Connavar, that was just part of my daily campaign against barrel rolls. I fight spam with spam Aaargggh there I go again.... I cant help it. Obsessed, moi?
@Kigo I love your new name for Chenghou Project. That is going to stick with me.
@eL, sorry about that, but after spending the majority of the rest of the session chasing you hopelessly I could not help myself today. Perhaps such an incident in Petunia could become known as "Watering the Flowers".
I always wondered how they got the plants up there anyway...
Yeldars dimise -- Whichever corner lead to him wanting to quit
just went on the official site
there are few names for some turn or section.
so we can add :
Anulpha Pass
last turn before the over pass
Greenline split
Chenghou Project
the inverted bend is called
the bowl, or the depression
the turns after it are
R4robot bend in reference to the "Robots build Robots" kind of industrial facilities.
Metropia
the WTF hairpin after the mag strip on reverse is the
Gemini's pin
those are real names given by SL, but i like our funny ones too...
