Take to Hammerhead sharks of the opposite gender and put them in a pen together with romantic poop everywhere. Then wait a while and out comes babies!

^Ditto.

Are you looking to Hand Build or Tool the Hammerhead?

^well, it would be nice to have a formula of some sort for elementary or newton 2, I've tried hand building, and im not that good

Well if you're using Newton, you just have to know Forces and Banking.
What part of it are you having trouble with?

^ Ive tried using newton 2 and i miss up on the downward transition

Well at the top, I always use a plateau transition for banking and Vert G's. I increase the banking to an overbank, and I increase the G's for the top. After, just time the banking and vert's to what feels correct. Finally, you will just need to level out at the bottom.

how much do you bank the top?

Just bank to whatever you think looks/feels right for your specific application; as far as I know, all of the hammerheads in the world are at different angles.

I think 95 degrees is a fair overbank.

^can u send me that newton file or element...or atleast tell me how to make the downward transition please[approve][worship]

I like banking more than 95, in most cases, but there is nothing to the end. You should have (Higher) G's at the very top, and, since you are using the plateau, the G's should reduce to start dropping. After that, just increase the G's to level at the bottom. The best way to learn is to mess around. I tried it for the first time on my coaster, The Red Dragon, and I think it turned out well. Just expirament.
