Best way to learn for me all that time ago was to just watch how other racers do it as well as trying it myself. Best if your a gunner for one who knows how to do it. You can see the angle as well as hear the engine revs. Some people just whack there hog at an angle at full speed. Others (such as myself) let the gas of for a split second and re-position/turn the hog as you go over the edge. Its not noticeable much but it does help with grip and response in any situation not just this one, personally.
If you go off the left side, its the left rear wheel you want to leave hanging there as you go over the edge. If its the right side, its the right rear wheel. However, going off the left side, positions your hog towards red base once you hit the bottom and you have to do a 180 just before you go through the bottom center navpoint and onto blue base nav. So going off the right side of the bridge is more preferred by most.
However. If you 180 ON the lap nav and THEN, go off the LEFT side, when you land, you land on snow and not ice (as you do if you didnt 180 and went off the right side. Whether that is faster or not, i dont know as i never bother doing it myself. Some old racing veterans do it so... Just another idea. But could cause issues if your in mid battle with another hog at the time mind you.
