Answer 3

It has to do with flying an airplane. a barrel roll is when the pilot makes the plane do sideways loop de loops. It is pretty hard and dangerous, so in a conversation it was probably meant to say whatever you were talking about was kinda crazy or ill-advised, or something out of your control.

Answer 4

why is this question in environmental conservation?

Answer 5

I only know that it's a yoyo trick that involves bringing it to a split-bottom entry or a trapeze mount and roll it over in a particular way. I enjoy doing them.

Try Googling it. I think this will be the highest number of results.
