Oh right, there's a glitch where if you don't face a bear trap it does not immediately trap you; it traps you when you use the second d-pad (to the right) for a different thing. That's why people face different ways than forward in some races. Pretty sure you'd know about this though, as it's been around for a very, very, very long time. I also don't know if this glitch was already said, as I do not enjoy reading 12+ page long threads. I also do not know if this glitch has been fixed, as the last time I used it was maybe a couple months ago. So my information may be...outdated.
