Nickkk 0 #1 February 19, 2007 So it has come to my attention after watching a video (Tracking Totale, sick video by the way) that I have never done this. What is the best way to do it? Simply dipping a shoulder on exit to induce the roll? What do you do when someone throws a big planet at you? Throw your pilot chute in defense!

OSOK 0 #2 February 19, 2007 I haven't watched that, but check out one from skydiving movies called 111_summer_2006.wmv. At the 33 second mark, this dude does this sick barrel roll... I'd like to hear whats the best way too. I was told that putting an arm in front and one in back, and angling them so they're bent down, could give you that spinning effect. ???

Of course we're both wearing wingsuits, but for barrel rolls on EXIT, that does not make a difference. Barrel rolls in flight (or freefall) are executed by pushing off the air, and continued by leading with your head and following through with your shoulders and body.
