...Yeah you've really got to figure out something with that lift. It's so awkward watching you drag it little by little. A good trick is to take a couple of orange connectors and attach them to the motor's rod. The gray rod attached to the red gears at 0:33. Then on the other end of the orange connectors, have another rod for the handle. Add some spacers onto this rod so you can turn smoothly and without being slowly consumed by the plastic. 

Onto the coaster itself, you seem to be doing a lot better with layering your flexis. That's great. :) The shaping here is stunning. Just smooth out the awkward spot directly across from the train in the last picture and you should be good.

Looks really good so far, and I'm excited to see how far you can get with a small drop. The shaping is really great, and once you fix the spot SCM pointed out it should be nearly perfect. Good luck! :)

No I'm gonna expand my lift hill much more down the hill. I'm probably going to to a inversion over the lift then do a decent drop.
