6'2", ride 18.5 high.

Just stating by quoting Stan there that it is personal preference.
lol your gonna have the worst back when your an old man.

5' 7" and I ride 22 high.
Bold 1: 2 of my mates have wrecked their back from bars being too low (both are 5'10+ and had 21s)
One of them still has bad problems and the other somehow recovered. So choose carefully kids.
Bold 2: Same.

Its already mangled, cracking it all of the time doesn't help. I rode 20 high for like 2 weeks and lost so many tricks so i went back down. Too hard to change height after riding the same height for like 6 years

Honestly, the best way to judge your bar hieght, I notice a bunch of riders typically agree. Aim to have your t-bar at the hieght where basically your balls can sit on your handlebar, haha. That is usually the perfect comfortable hieght for most riders.

depends how you ride aswell, if you're doing airs, tucks etc, you will probably be better with higher bars.but if you're doing tech stuff, smaller bars migth be better, but if you have bars that are above waist height, you're pretty much saying goodbye to Bris on flat or anything like that :)
