I have redone the shaping of the drop and of the first hill so far, and I think I accurately recreated the B&M style.

Here is the new drop and hill below.

To all B&M experts, would you care to look at my shaping above ^. I want to make sure I have the correct shaping.

Thanks,

It looks like the radius of the drop isn't constant.

The straight hill looks pretty good from what I'm able to say. I think the lift crest radius needs to be a little bit larger than the pull-up radius, however.

Bueno.

I didn't say it right, my fault. I meant the the pull up and the bottom of the drop. It doesn't look like a fluid tranistion.

Thanks for the comments guys. A113 the transition is fluid.

I see what A113 is trying to say, it looks awkward to me, but if it runs smooth then I guess there is nothing wrong with it.

The reason why it looks awkward is because I have the lift straight and then it slants to the right about 10 degrees.

So the shaping looks good?

Not the lift crest, as I already pointed out.

Just extend it a little further out?

Hill is okay?

The hill looks good. And I think extending it out a little more would look great! Good luck, man.
