I use the d-pad and motion control (only for pitch, in that case it helps a lot )
I do it consistently on anulpha forward at phantom speed (a little bit harder on the reverse), and for the venom speed i managed to do a good time using it, but i didn't practice that much at this speed to really decide if it's easier at this speed (not sure anyway ! theorically you need speed to nose up sufficiently for having enough height to br).
