Hey Guys! I am really wanting any general ideas on how I can improve the site, so please either shoot me a private message or start a thread in the Questions and Suggestions forum. Also, no one has recieved an innovator tag yet, so please, get out there and design your innovations! There is plenty of time to do it over the summer. Summer Heat Guidelines have been posted over at SSC, so check those out. We are slightly modifying how we are doing that over here so go check that out.

Here's something I just started working on today. Hopefully tomorrow I'll order my looping lightning set which will probably come later this week. Lift is not final yet. Here are some pictures:
Comment and as always, be harsh!

I have a plan
@ turtleman I have a plan.....haha
Update! Well yesterday and today I worked on a big corkscrew, which I meant to make a zero g roll, but I just couldn't get the shaping right. What do you guys think it looks more like? I also worked on the lift and made a chain return. Everything seems to be going smooth. Once I get my new set I'll probably make another big update which will probably be in a about 3-5 days. On to the pics:

I like how you went straight into a corkscrew instead of the usual loop. Very nice layout choice.

Thanks but I've decide to change to a loop.
I changed the old layout into the drop going into a loop. I think I've got the shaping down. Comment what you think about it.

It should probably be a bit taller.

^^^ Thanks! ^^Thanks! You too! ^ Thank you!
Update! This is a minor update. I added a turn after the loop. I was thinking of doing a dive loop but that didn't work out so I decided to do a turn. After the turn I am going to try to get a corkscrew or two in before my helix to the station.
Comment!
