    -By pressing //Left-Right-Left// or //Right-Left-Right// on your steering input when mid-air, you can attempt a **Barrel Roll** for **15% of your [[#Shield Energy]]**. Your ship will attempt a 360° barrel roll, and if it completes before you land, you will get a quick burst of speed, not unlike a [[#Speed Pads|Speed Pad]] or a [[pickups:turbo#In WipEout HD|Turbo]] boost. If the ship lands before that happens, you will get disappointment, and your [[#Shield Energy]] will be taken anyway. So you should probably be careful with that. It doesn't feel very nice, you know. You kind of just feel bad about your life when that happens.+By pressing //Left-Right-Left// or //Right-Left-Right// on your steering input when mid-air, you can attempt a **Barrel Roll** for **15% of your [[#Shield Energy]]**.

     **Barrel Rolls** are essential for high-level gameplay. They can be performed in spots other than the obvious drops through precise and clever maneuvers for //just// enough airtime. They enhance the resource management element of [[#Shield Energy]] while testing the pilot's skill and directly rewarding them for good play. **Barrel Rolls** are essential for high-level gameplay.

    -Additionally, **Barrel Rolls** are closely related to [[#Pitch and Steering|Pitch control]]: pitching up can enable **Barrel Rolls** that would otherwise be impossible, and pitching down will decrease unwanted airtime - landing faster, wasting less time in the air and getting the speed boost sooner.+Additionally, **Barrel Rolls** are closely linked to [[#Pitch and Steering|Pitch control]]: pitching up can enable **Barrel Rolls** that would otherwise be impossible, and pitching down will decrease unwanted airtime - landing faster, wasting less time in the air and getting the speed boost sooner.

     +**WipEout HD** features a **Community Tab**, where you can see what your PSN® Friends are currently up to in-game. 
     + 
     +The **Community Tab** can be summoned in most areas of the game by pressing **Select**. It will display a list of your PSN® Friends that are currently playing **WipEout HD** and what mode they're playing: "ONLINE SINGLE RACE", "TIME TRIAL", "ZONE", etc. 
     + 
     +While in the **Community Tab** menu, you can press the **Square** button to view all pending lobby invitations, and press the **Triangle** button to send a **Nudge** to the selected player.\\ 
     +**Nudges** are notifications that appear in the top-right corner of the screen. When one appears, pressing **Triangle** will automatically create and join an online lobby with the person that sent you the **Nudge**. As of game update 2.51, this feature is broken.

     +====Online Ranks====
     +**Online Ranks** are an indicator of your online multiplayer progress. There are 101 Ranks in total, each having a title and a 3D medal tied to them. Rank requirements are downloaded from the game's server upon startup.
      
     +You earn rank points simply by playing online: the better you do in a race, the more points you get. Point rewards are also affected by the amount of players in a lobby and the lobby's speed class, with **Rapier** and **Phantom** classes giving a 1.2 multiplier to the points earned. You also lose 100 points for disconnecting mid-race.
     +
     +After finishing a multiplayer race, your **Online Rank** and points are uploaded to the global **Multiplayer Ranking** leaderboard, which displays every player's Rank, Rank Title, and progress towards the next Rank.
