Looks good. Very smooth and well supported.

Looks great! At the end of the crest where the flexis arent connected and there are no crossties is where the gear is going to go right? My advice is to get the chain on there and use the chain speed to test the coaster because with tube supports, I think, speed issues arise much easier. At least they did for me on my coaster.

^i just got done putting the chain on and yes, the space is where the gear is going. thanks guys!

Why don't you ever layer you're tube supports? It would make it look so much better and it would be stronger.

[Fraggie]

^it is just easier for me. and the lateral supports are layered.

[iggfish123]

I think the pullout is a little big. Other than that it's good.

update, already. please comment.

Your footers look a little weak, and I would try putting more flexis in the holes of the x-ties. But it's shaped well.

[BBaller347]

^ I was going to say the same thing. Give us a test to see if the footers can handle it.

update. i am almost done with the first hill. please comment.

Well, It looks nice and smooth. Are you going for a style? Like Uniqness your own, B&M, Intamin or what?

[Outerlimits659]

It still looks like it may shake at the base of the drop. If needed, add some laterals or stronger footers to those small supports. Also the crest of the hill is a bit too flat, make it more rounded.

ok, well there are a couple of things to update. first i made the support footers a little stronger. they are not that good, but they are the best i could do without taking the whole support out and re building it. also the crest is longer o you can see if it is still straight on the top. and finally, more injuries for me. i rebroke my thumb, the same one i broke like 3 weeks ago and i have a concussion. so i might be building slower now that i am basically one handed again. well here are the pictures.




please comment!

Those footers are a lot better. Try putting flexis in other holes in the x ties, it'll make the track even stronger.

does anyone have a good picture of behemoth's hammerhead, or even nitro's? i am going to use either one of those as a reference.

[DDRman732865]

[Fraggie]

update. i finished the first hill. not sure if the pullout is big enough. please comment. oh and next element is a hammerhead (probably like behemoth's)

[Ricbun]

The hill look nice, but you need to make the pull out a litle bigger.
