is it a barrel roll?

[superjet0587]

Is it considered a barrel roll if I get about 7/8 rotation and am able to ride it out or does it have to be flat to flat?

on flat, if you make it past 3/4 you are good... IMO
surf - plate to plate

I take the credit and call it a barrel roll. But a true true barrel roll is like this :barrel:

Stock pole and bracket as well? If so, then give yourself a big pat on the back! The cheapest way for you to go plate to plate would be to cut 3 or 4 inched off your pole and buy a lowered bracket. If you're 7/8 of the way round on a stock setup then I'd say you are a pretty competent barrel roller :biggthumpup:

id say if u can ride out of it and make it look good, it would be ok in my book:highhorse:

I'm with Brit. Chop the pole and start sticking them. Best cheap/free mod you can do.

What's the length on a stock pole anyway? I've got an aluminum AC but have never figured out if it's stock or shortened. I'm going after barrel rolls too.

If you don't ride it out it's just a crash.

Like Buzz Lightyear says: "It's like falling.... with style"

congrats on riding out of it!!

Pull that pole off right away and shorten it!! You'll love the difference. Someone posted a really good "how to" thread not so long back. It's a very easy job. Some people have also shortened the stock steering plate if you don't want to spend any money on that.
