"nose down" - hehe... i named it that cause it's what you do!!! take a look!
here's 1 example
in this example the camera is not "locked" so you wont see exactly how it's done.... but you will see the results
have your dad angle the "camera" as low to the ground in the front of your hog right before impact. this keeps the "camera" on the hood of the hog which will keep it from bouncing up. the "camera" has some "force" on the way the hog will roll/slide... so its really important to get "under" the other hog.
it's also a good idea to STOP at the point of impact...and then drive backwards away slowly. this will do 2 things for you
1) it keeps the hog still... so you(as the gunner) can see what the other hog is doing (rolling, popping a wheelie...etc) and then can react appropriately.
2) backing away plays to the gunner as well... getting you the best angle possible.
BE CAREFULL!!! when you "POP" another hog... BOTH HOGS become no-shields... aim for the gunner right away, cause he will be aiming for you
this tactic is something that will need to be practiced and perfected. GOOD LUCK and let me know how it turns out!
also, i have this on my fileshare. it's the 4th slot on my fileshare called "da bump1".
DL that and watch it with your dad. this is pretty much "the bump".
it's in my view so you will see me "camera down"
keep me posted on progress!!
