I'm not going to bash you but I will give you some advice:

 

1-Reducing pumps (jerks) - Increase the size of the vertex points but not to the point where its too big thus making it worse. Ride the ride and see wether it needs to be bigger or smaller. Too add to that, use Ctrl+G (the smoother) on equally sized sections, it can help but it can also ruin a ride so use it well.

 

2-Usage of launches and brakes - You should never use launches to avoid valleying and you should never use brakes to keep the forces down. You should only use launches as a means of getting the train to a certain speed a the beggining of a track and you shouldn't use trims full-stop (unless you really want them)

 

3-Straight lifts or brakes - To straighten a section of track, simple select that section and press 'I'. For a lift, split the lift into three sections, increase the size of the middle one and straighten it.

 

4-Tunnel test - To avoid peoples limbs being sliced of, you need to select the whole track and put a tunnel over it. Then you ride the track and if you see anything that enters the tunnel other than the track, you need to change it

 

5-Supports - You can't really tell if your track isn't under-supported, you just have to use you instinct. Look at photos of rides similar to your to see how their supported and simple mimic it. Try to make your own supports rather than pre-fabs, people like it better when you do.

 

Finally, I suggest you look at other peoples coasters and see how their made. It helped me and I can't see why it won't help you.

 

 

 

Now, I need to get a drink.

I pretty much agree with dr.gumbo.

Try riding it in the back seat to get a good idea where the pumps are, it was a lot better than my first NL coaster!

Keep practicing and you will soon get better.
