Me and some friends want to make a drop in out of the rollers used on conveyour belts. For anybody that has used them, what are your thoughts? How spaced should the rollers be, how long, how tall? Ideas?

I personally hated it.  It was so hard to get where you wanted to be on them

if you haven't done them before I would suggest turf.  It is excellent.

I didn't mind them that much, and if you were just using them for the drop in and were gonna use snow for the rest of the in run and the lip then they will definitely work fine. not sure on what dimensions you'd want... steep. steeper the better really with a good tranny that you can pump.

yeah, the worst part about them was the tranny and the jump

but I guess if you just used it to get speed it would be great.

You think 5 feet is tall enough with 5 feet length.

 I was thinking of maing a drop in like this with rebar and pvc to create the rollers. My thinking was that it would be much faster than turf. For anyone thats used the rollers would I have enough speed to hit a 20ft dfd rail if I was droping from 10ft high on a 15ft roller.
