| | | It's been fixed to say at least 2 inversions. You may have more.
The Nov/Dec will continue to run as planned, and the second group is January 8th I believe.
Riscit: From ground to top of track. And about the lats, how is that not realistic? Maybe if that was a vertical g restriction, I would understand that not being realistic, since that would be very hard to do, but those are normal lateral g restrictions.

| | How about this, your ride must drop at least 105ft.
1.5 is a good restriction. Most probably stay under one, but 1.5 isn't bad, just might be a nice head bang

| | | It is. But it looks cool. I would wait a little. So I could modify the ride in anyway. But thats just me.

when i realize i'm not going to have time to finish my contest entry because i have too many other things going on (and i just couldn't get the descent double zero-g that i was aiming for so that put a damper on things). oh well, maybe next time. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
