A question about hitting mines....

How do you prevent your vehicle from getting slammed into a wall after hitting a mine?

The most simple way is to tap A after you hit it.

It depends upon what vehicle you are using as well, if you are using the Jet Vermillion (heh, my personal favourite) then you shouldn't get knocked too far back from the blast. If you are using the Fighting Comet, good luck!
No, really, you will get knocked a lot farther back than you would have with say JV, the best thing to do is to sort of "turn into" the mine so to speak. In other words, if you hit the mine on your right side, angle the nose of your vehicle toward the mine, that way your foward momentum will carry you away from the wall (on the left in this case) that you normally would have hit. Again, tapping A helps a lot to straighten your vehicle out instead of letting it slam into the wall.

Hope that helped!

Actually I finally figured it out!!
Right before you about to hit the mine, if you start turning int the direction you want to go in, you will be thrown in that direction after you hit the mine
