Why are the newton elements so smooth?

I think it would be better if you would show us how to make the flat turn, like making it. Not just a flat turn already put and showing what you did.

...or that too. :D

@VFB1210 or, you can switch your calculator's mode from radians to degrees... :D

I dont understand the tutorial. i followed the instructions but the first section just dive into the ground

Just a note, on most calculators (I'm using a TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator) the Arc Sine/Cosine/Tangent functions are usually listed as Sin^-1, Cos^-1, and Tan^-1.
Punching Arc Cosine(0.25) into a calculator will not yield 75.52, but 1.318, which is not degrees, but radians. To get the value in degrees, you multiply the resulting number by 57.29 (the amount of degrees in 1 radian)
This is obvious to people who have taken higher math classes, but probably unknown to most other people.

Is it possible to expand on this to explain how to make a helix?
how do you transition from a flat turn to another flat turn?

@MJGM55
To quickly transition from one flat turn to another, you must reduce the normal force between the turns so as to create a pop of airtime. This is how you prevent the track from pitching upward during the transition.
