Barrel controls are horrible

I dont get why the controls dont work at all in the barrel. Every time I pull into one, I get thrown over the falls. Then sometimes I get caught in a series of up to 5 waves unable to get out. What am I doing wrong? Controls seem totally unresponsive. Game could be fun if that worked, but for now I give it one star.
