The 'World's First' Barrel Roll Isn't Actually The World's First, But It's Awesome Nonetheless

Adrian Cenni has pulled off this insane barrel roll at the Score International Baja 1000 Contingency in Ensenada, Mexico. Despite his claims that it is the first barrel roll to be completed in front of a live audience, Rob Dyrdek successfully completed the same trick in December 2011.

'The Wildman' has been building up to the stunt for a while and recently posted a teaser video in which he revealed the secret to completing a 360-degree barrel roll. Instead of the standard single ramp, Cenni's crew built a second ramp, so the roll is completed in two stages. The first ramp simply gives you air, while the second ramp initiates the required rotation.

Cenni put the rig to the test in front of a live audience, and absolutely nailed it - far cleaner than Dyrdek's somewhat scrappy effort. You'll be gobsmacked.
