Nice composition.

I remember riding this when I was about 18. That first drop was just long enough for me to think "I'm going to die", but mercifully short enough for me to not cack myself. Some serious Gs in the turns and ups and downs as I recall though.

Well I must say .. there is no way on this earth I would ever get on that thing.
Just looking at the picture makes me feel ill ... (nothing to do with your photography technique by the way).

Nice shot.

When I look at that pic, I can't believe I've actually been on that thing! I remember feeling quite uncomfortable on the climb up to that first drop - it's seriously high! The rest of the ride isn't too bad IMO.
