At least one person who I will not name because he didn't want to be
dragged into this tried this on one of his home machines and wasn't able to
reproduce any success.

I guess if people feel strongly that this is a viable technique, then try
it in competition and see what happens.  Applying vibrations to machines
has been done for a very long time, but mostly by hitting the lockdown
bar.  I remember a High Speed at PAPA many years ago where doing that would
tilt instantly; I think they had rigged up something special like Dan
mentioned.  If it's only light slapping like you say Steve and not the loud
banging we were first introduced to, then it's probably ok but I'm still
going to give it the stink-eye for being weird. :)

You should record another more representative video and post it to
something like Tilt Forums to see what the larger community thinks about it.
