RollerCoasterKid and Gump for me. I stumbled on the guy who made the Best of the Bests website and the old Ssc gallery.

I can hardly remember how I got here...

I joined after Bballer's Charge was built. Steel & Jumpge gave me early encouragement. And Kr11 was a big help early on.

I initially just builded ball machines at the Instructables community. I met Tornado96 there, and he showed me some of his coasters. I just had one SS set, and no micro K'nex, so I started building, and entered DD. That coaster became Mini Racer. I did not have enough pieces to build it probably, and therefore I failed at it. Still, I really liked building my own coasters.

I saw Bballer's coasters after that. I really liked the look of them, and I bought a VV set to experiment with. I came pretty quickly, that I liked building VV more than SS, so I bought a few more sets, and the first coaster became The Dutch Revolution.

Overall, Tornado96 and Bballer inspirated me the most, along with real coasters.

Jogumpie inspired me with his website on which I saw Speed o' Fear. Then I saw this website called SSCoasters written down somewhere.

Oh we've come a long way since then havn't we...

Burritomaster got me into the site. I saw Flame while it was being constructed and since I had a lot more vv than SS I started trying things out. Then came charge and I was mind-blown. These days I'm begining to get a bit more interested in SS. Need to try it again someday...
