I know the guys use every inch of the track and take the quick way thru but the "under" part of the over/under seemed like it was a little off line or something. Seemed like most riders came thru it and were on the verge of wiping out on the right hand wall every time.

its all about setup to the next jump. if they stayed left it wouldnt be a good angle going into the next corner. just my non pro rider opinion.
olds cool

I was tempted to start a thread about this topic. Do you think the PTB should put a wall up on the sides on top or do something to make this sort of obstacle safer? We almost witnessed an unfortunate disaster last night. I know any kind of racing is potentially dangerous but do you think the riders should have to worry about a bike and/or rider falling off the bridge/jump directly over their head and landing in their lap? Should they just go ahead and put a shark tank in between the finish line double?? What say you?

He's talking about under.
You're talking about over.
The line chosen under was not for set-up, but more for the hot line used in the corner before.
The crash by Seeley up top was freak, but scary.
Hopefully it didn't scare feld too much or it could be the end of tunnels.

The tunnel is awesome, and it facilitates a better track layout. But the 450s are just too fast for the over/under unless it's used as part of an 'S' turn. Having wide-open track beyond the tunnel didn't work out too well last night.

no kidding, did you see Bowers get slammed coming out of the tunnel & was Partridge's injury tunnel related?
