Well, the camera view does change when you are taking down the walkers; it will always pan to a top/outside view, and there is nothing you can do about that.
But you should still be able to control your speeder! Perhaps you are just not used to doing it from that outside angle? I find it easiest to come at it on the the right hand side, and as soon as I launch the tow cable I turn left hard, and keep going hard left the whole way through. I also use the right brake the entire time.
After a while, you'll be able to do it in your sleep!
I hope this helps...and I hope it makes sense.
