    Usually you pull back on the analog stick to lift your nose, so that when you pass on the smallest bump, you'll get some little air, but those BRs are very hard to do. Other thing is that some tracks got a long drop down spread on a long portion of the track (Anulpha Pass Reverse has one for instance) but very subtle, that allows some BRs with a Turbo. If not, you can BR on a "flat" area of the tracks while lifting up the nose and using a Turbo. You'll be propelled in air (like couples of feet if i can illustrate it this way) and you'll have to act quick to BR, since you almost got no considerable air time. But most of the time, people BR on flat area when there's the tiniest bump. You can't really BR on straight plain flat areas.

    No sweat dude. You can also go watch lots of videos on Youtube, from Badtesterz, Hellfire, Xenocide2097, Leungbok. Those guys are legends here, they make videos of every race on every track, you will witness for sure a "flat" BR anyway.

    Leungbok's YouTube is badtesterz just in case you can't find leungs page. Also check out pirhapac's page for good tips/techniques (especially if you want flatland flyer, his moa therma timetrial/speed lap will sort you out)

    if you have PA off you can go side-ways with your air breaks and use a side shift to get in the air
    you go higher and have more time to roll that way

    Yeah just watched the video then.

    Big change from the pulse days.

    Then again, thats what lots and lots and lots and lots of continuous practice and speed laps do to you.

    I rather keep to the racing line, but that isnt the fastest way to play the game these days.

    one of the reasons I like wipeout so much is that you don't have to follow a racing line, It's more fun when everyone takes different lines because you can have intence side by side race's
    Nice vid though but I'll need lots of practice to master all of them

    Pretty damn sweet, Leungbok! A perfect example of a sideshift BR.

    I'd like to give a go at the nose down-nose up-barrel roll method for this week's speed lap challenge, but I only have a few hours to try it and I was wondering if it was worth the trouble.
    First, an example of what I'm talking about, by Yeldar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7VRHpyp7N4.
    Do people playing d-pad only manage this kind of madness? If you do, how many hours did you spend to get there?
    Is there anything particular to know about this method?

    I was taught well by Mr BRbok, he showed me the way

    Basically: Nose-down ; Nose-up (like a wave, so nice and smooth) ; BOOST (keep holding you nose up as well).

    The key I think is not to boost too early. If you boost before your nose is fully up then I don't think you get as much airtime --> less time to BR

    I'm sure some D-Pad users do it too, either way I think the method is the same as with analog (or pitch if your name is BRbok, Phaeton, Shape, Barnster etc...)

    It's not that hard and can be done on most tracks and speed classes. I use motion pitch so i don't know about doing it from d-pad only but i'm sure it's possible. Timing is the key here, you must use your boost with small delay, when nose is up.

    I think Anulpha Pass is good place to practice this trick. Flying over first speed pad will give you extra airtime to pull of Barrel Roll. I can do it consistently now but back then (when Leungbok showed this trick) it was mere 10% success ratio.

    Keep practicing, good luck
