Sorry to post this in the forum, however he has decided to not recieve PM's so:

First thanks for riding and reviewing, its really appreciated. However you said that it went slow over the hills while you experience floater air, and -1 or more extreme cannot be experienced for a long period of time so with that said I kept the realism with the G's. I have to disagree with the length, its longer than SROS and MF and TTD(obviously) so that is a bit off. I know the supports arent like anyother but that is how you obtain originality. These are just my thoughts on your rate and you are not obligated to change it, but these are the bare truths for your review.

Thanks

BTW the cartexture loads fine, as long as you place it in your cartexture file.

-1 can be held a bit longer than you think.

Ever ridden one of those top spins? I once had the Ride Op give us three straight cycles (we didnt ask, he just did...park was dead) and those things hang you upside down, and rotate slowly, probably giving just over -1.1 or so, and I didnt have any problems. Each cycle I probably got 5-8 seconds of that, and each cycle is about 2 minutes in length. So in 6 minutes I had like 30 seconds or something of worse than -1.

EGF also pulls about -1.3 I think. While G's do alot of times make up for speed, some people can prefer to have it go faster over the hills (which means you just have to redesign them to keep G's lower). Its the sacrifice, you either go slower with a sharper top, or, faster and shallower top.


The ASTM (the Industry Standards for G's) can be found online...I dont have the link handy ATM.

I went for less air and more time, but I guess he doesnt understand the system.
