instead of jumping off the roller and landing into the berm try rolling it with speed. by jumping into the berm/wall you scrub a lot of speed on the compression of the landing. roll it smooth all the way thru and you actually accelerate b/c the radius decreases slightly.
not sure what you mean, are you talking about the circled area in the pic? that's not going to change at all if that's what you mean.
Finally got around to having a few go's on this at the weekend. I echo a few of the points Dan mentions but IMO none of the stuff with the walls, the little upslope between them etc, would matter if you could hit it faster. I'm no Jared Graves but I was sucking the roller into the first wall as much as possible but I'm still kind of floating over it and compressing the bike pretty hard just as I'm trying to turn into it. Before the roller was there I used to be able to go higher up the first wall and was still hauling out the end of it but I don't think I can anymore.
The thing is an absolute work of art but I think you possibly need to tweak the roller into it Mark. Either pull back the upslope (at least a bike length IMO) making it longer so you can make the downslope (not sure about the distance to the berm infront of it?) or just reduce the height of the roller?
Be happy to help if you do make any changes. Oh and if others are pinning it no problem ignore this crap :)
