It generally involves boosting twice before the line, after pressing select in between, to get extra speed from the boosts and the barrel roll after getting enough air. I just feel it's that bit too far. Barrel rolls change one wipeout game compared to the last. This is a feature introduced by the patch which, as with the online game, alters the way HD speed lapping works (not in all cases, but a fair few over time I suspect). As I say, it does take some skill, it isn't possible on all track, and I'm sure you're right leungbok, it will be slightly different on each track you use depending on the topology of that track before the line. But it's essentially still the same trick.
The way you pull off the rest of the anulpha reverse lap with those barrel rolls on the turns is, in my opinion, far more impressive and skillful than the boost-select trick. At the end of the day, all those who are competing at the top end of speed lap will probably learn these tricks form the videos you kindly post on youtube, and therefore can go and use them and improve their own times. In the end, the rankings will probably end up just as they were before. However, in my view, that's another reason why it would have been better off without this new feature, as those of use who want to keep our ranking up are obliged to go through the whole process again, with no real value at the end of it.
