Hi Kelin,

Try making sure your animation duration and delay are the same. I matched them up to 1.5 seconds and the animation seems to flow a bit better.

.top-text{  
    -webkit-animation: hideshow 10s 1.5s infinite;
    -webkit-animation-delay: 0.1s;
}
.top-text-1{  
    -webkit-animation: op2 10s 1.5s infinite;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 0.2s;

thanks buddy. you got any idea how l change the point at which the animation of the zigzag line starts. l want it to do directly opposite to what its doing now.
