Let's see your best or worst barrel rolls! :D

I'm still working on my barrel roll finning technique, but I found a good tip that helped a lot, imagine that you're an alligator with it's lunch.
 
Heck, I jumped in here to explain how to do a barrel roll in an airplane thinking I must be in an aviation group. BTW, there is no resemblance between a barrel roll in an airplane and what is depicted in the video above, and I don't know why this 360 deg rotation in place under water is called a barrel roll. There is no rolling involved, especially around a barrel:)

I think to do a true barrel roll you need a DPV, otherwise just get rolled in a barrel son.
