That mess of track behind the loop is...still a mess. I'm stuck. I need help. Who here knows how to make good inline twists? Do you have any tips?

So this element is supposed to be the 270 degree barrel roll that twists back on itself as seen in Lagoon's cannibal. Problem is, I can't make a smooth twist to save my life. Plus, the turnaround just seems awkward, although to an extent it is supposed to. I think my heartline is aiight, it's just bumpy.

Pictures below. Included are a few test videos to give you an idea of the heartline. Also, cannibal.

The element I'm going for


from the front


imo the most flattering picture


twist #1


twist #2


looking backwards

I really like where your going with this, but you should really try to smooth out your barrel rolls. Try throwing on some flexies or even some silver rods and that should help. If not, I'm sure that there are some tutorials deep down in the forums somewhere.

^ the tutorial isn't very deep down at all. If click the tutorials sub-forum you should see an "Elements and theming" section click on that and you should find a heartline roll tut. If you don't it will be in another thread that is stickied.
