A controversial kind of shortcut that exploits a programming oversight in Stunts' penalty time system.

Tracks with multiple paths usually either are designed in a way to prevent dual-way switching or explicitly exploit them to make alternative racing lines available. | A controversial kind of shortcut that exploits a programming oversight in Stunts' penalty time system.

Some canonical examples of dual-way switching. First, a basic tutorial on Siófok (USC 07/08). Then, a lap around X-change (SDR-RH 2007) featuring several way switches. For a more extreme example, you can also check the forbidden shortcut of ZCT127.
