ok, so last night when i tried to test it at around 10:00 after getting home from my cousins house, it wouldnt work. i tried a couple of times but still nothing. so when i woke up this morning, i was planing on making it smaller but i tested it one more time to see if it would work. and thank god it did. it goes very very slow over the crest then picks up a little speed as it goes through the turn. i will post new pictures when i am done with the turn and starting the drop. thanks for the comments ^ & ^^.

I think a turning drop would look cooler.

Where'd He Go?
Posted 25 June 2009 - 09:02 AM
It looks good to me, but as far as it being colder than of course in the day time. It literally has to be about 40* because the rails (plastic tubing) basically has to harden, thus making more stability, which increases your speed. You might want to lower it, because one brisk night isn't going to do the trick.
But try adding laterals first

^ lowered it a little bit and now it works almost everytime. this morning it was probably 15-20* colder than yesterday night so maybe that had a little help. do you think humidity and how dens the air is affects it too?
and i will ad laterals to the hill and i will change the tube supports.
here are the pictures of the start of the drop. is it ok?
please comment

That looks beautiful! It's really smooth, and I love the transition between the end of the turn and the drop/pullout.
