Bars?

I noticed that most people here ride with their bars really low.
Does it actually help with tricking if they're low?

I'm used to my bars being 22" from the base of the tube to the top of the bars.
How high are yours?

It does help in tricking as it makes you lean forward, thus moving your center of mass (?) lower and in the middle between both wheels. Also it helps to divide the forces applied to you when landing, launching, whatever, to your arms and legs, and thus, both wheels, instead of puting all the pressure on your legs and back wheel. Once I pulled my bar up to the max for fun and tried to air my kicker, I was falling backward all the time.

Well if I turn the scooter upside down so that the foam grips are sitting on the ground... the clamp that holds the bars to the forks is about 2 inches above my knees.
