Whats the rules for jumping OVER the tape?  At :49s It looks like you could just pull up and clear that right hand jog.

I've been wondering when a line like that will become accessible due to the new (low) course tape. I'd guess you'd get DQ'd, or they'd adjust the taping once the line is exploited. In this case, jumping that far into the bank with the immediate double that follows doesn't look beneficial.

Man...nothing like hitting a tight line practice run after practice run at Nationals back the day only to come down for your race run and some butt munch MOVED the tape or shoved a pole VERTICAL that had been at an angle all weekend.  

Just had to hope you'd be the last rider in your class to have to smash it and it be ready to buckle.

Yeah, as soon as I typed it, it seemed like a bad idea.  

But you are right, this is going to open stuff up.  I do like this move as the old tape and poles has caused me to crash more then once.  Hell it might have even impaled Minnaar last weekend in semi's.

OH wow....that track is not interesting in the dry.  
Not easy obviously. But...not interesting.
