We built this pump track at our site. The outside line has worked well but the inside crossover seems a little akward, so we are tweaking and changing. No video of this track but here is our first pump track which now connects to the new one.

does anyone have any idea of about how far the rollers in a pump track should be if you were to be riding mtb's on it?

I'm looking into making a pump track pretty much unlimited space but nothig too huge please help

None of the other comments probaly dont help and neither will I, but lee mccormack will he is the expert to building pump tracks I mean he has a million dollar company. "welcome to a pump track nation" this book will answer all your questions and more about pump tracks, five stars. Amazon has these books for very cheap and even cheaper on his website just type in his name and check out his books and tracks. Valmont bike park is one of his best investments.

There is a fair amount of geometry and physics involved in building a good flowing pump track.

Generally you want to have equal measurements between your dips down and the size of your rollers. If you rollers/lips are two feet tall then ideally you want your dip/trough to be two feet down.

You also want to have open/longer berms where you want to carry speed and sharper/shorter ones where you want to slow down.

A simple pump track design can also include a high side and a low side. The jumps or rollers on your bottom end will be larger and allow you to build speed and accelerate through so that when you move up to the higher side (where the jumps/rollers are smaller) you can carry speed.

Its really a learning process so just start small and build on what you have from there. Get some friends together as more shovels = more dirt moved = more fun. If it is a space that you will have for while then the track will perfect itself over time as your building.

Good luck!
