I am Jeremy Reid, builder of perhaps the first free-standing backyard roller coaster! I completed the first version of my coaster in 1997. Upon graduating from the University of Oklahoma's school of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, I was offered a dream job as an engineer at "Arrow Dynamics"! I gladly accepted and had the privilege of working closely with Alan Schilke! My assignment (and passion) was ride banking and G-force analysis as well as developing design/analysis methods. Unfortunately, Arrow was facing difficult times and went into bankruptcy. I returned to Oklahoma and have been working as an Aerospace Engineer ever since. I hope to be able to explain what I have learned!
