I couldn't find a roller that was firm enough, without being just a plastic pipe; so, I made my own. This lead me to making custom foam rollers and wanted to share them with you guys.
If you decide you'd like one, just message me on Etsy after paying with, the writing and firmness of your choice.
Thanks!

saw something almost exactly like this for about $10 cheaper online. Don't buy this! ripoff!
I just use 2-liter bottles filled with water, they cost about a buck.
I get the "2-liter" comment a lot. And this mentality exists in almost every market. I understand the sentiment, but I am not trying to capture the market that would utilize a 2-liter bottle. I am looking to the market that would like a quality, handmade, custom roller.
You're right, though; a bottle might do the trick, but if you're interested in something better get yourself a Rocket Roller. I do appreciate your comment, though.
Big up this guy though stop being so tight invest in a bit of quality. Show this guy some love he has made a quality product that i for one will be buying.
If i draw my ting out here i will turn this place into gaza
great gifts for runners. Maybe right the school they attend. For example "go buffs"
personalize them for each athlete on your team…I like them and will keep these in mind as Christmas rolls around. People love this stuff.
P.S.-They also gave me a link to share that gives you $5 off anything on Etsy (including a Rocket Roller, of course).

Sorry, I forgot the link! Here it is:
http://etsy.me/10II6HbHowdy Letsrun faithful,
I'm making a bit of progress on these rollers. I am thinking they'll be a great Christmas gift for the fit folks in your life.
Although I am currently making them to order, I was also thinking of pre-making a good amount of them. Right now I have "Rise and Grind" and "No Excuses." Check out the links I've posted above to order yours and get $5 off!
Thanks!
just go get some 4inch pvc pipe and cut it into a 2 foot length. my local hardware store did this for $6.26. I'm now trying to find a shelf liner to cover it with so that it doesn't slide over the carpet.
Ha, I looked at the price and thought "No way"!.
But Then I looked up the price of my current EVA foam roller and realized it costs the same!
The RocketRoller looks decent. Interesting if it works.
screen printing a name on a foam roller provided by another company is not "making" anything

How about using contact cement to glue a yoga mat onto it?

I definitely agree. The rollers provided by other companies were not firm enough for my current needs--that's why I started making my own. I definitely appreciate your feedback, though. I must be heading in the right direction, if it looks like I bought these from a manufacturer!
P.S.-I've updated my Etsy listing to reflect the current color options and show some more detailed pictures of how I finish the ends.
Nice idea. The key would be a really tough cement and making sure that there are no wrinkles.thanks!

I am using Gorilla Glue for mine. It seems to do the trick!
