If you're bending over a lot

[LucasWinter]

seriously raise your bar height
I raised my bar height by an inch and a half and it made everything like twice as easy.
It also makes everything look twice as steezy and contributes to your style.
so yah, if your back hurts after riding for a few hours, RAISE YOUR BAR HEIGHT.
Just sayin...

and also do it so "BUBBA" wont be attracted to you anymore

 

[scooterkid999]

i did and it is way better but you have to get used to it at first

 

[Jordan Jasa]

nevarrr.

look at dan barrett's style, he used to be a high bar gross rider but lowered them a ton and has ridiculous style now.

i think it kinda depends on the rider though.

So true. I ride 19 high but im really small.

i guess i havent seen any of dan barretts recent riding then..

and on the low bar thing. matt davies has a super sick style and rides small ass bars.

 

[Trevor Noller]

this is the opposite for me. I rode 26's forever then downsized to 24's and it feels so sexual.

 

[Tylerr.]

yeah it helps.
but at the same time some people look so gay wiht high bars.

 

[Peter Luce]

yeah it helps.
but at the same time some people look so gay wiht high bars.

same can be said for really low bars. You got to find that perfect medium,

damnit, beat me to it

i personally think that your bars should be just high enough so that when you stand straight up on your scooter that you dont have to bend over. I made the switch to high bars they day before SD3 and it helped me receive 4th place in my 2nd comp ever and im not even a park rider.

 

[dre]

imo, they should be so that if you put both your feet on the ground beside the deck, and stand up completely straight, your hands should be able to touch the bars if you let them hang at your sides.

im riding 20 high now. and i ordered 20 high slayers and i want to raise my height like 2 inches so im basically screwed =/

 

[Joe Riley]

well im riding 18 high and i need to get like a 22 high buff steer tube b/c ive grown since the last time ive rode and yeah...

get an SCS then, and ask andrew not to cut slits in your bars then so you can use it with the SCS because it adds 2 inches onto your bar height.

 

[LucasWinter]

If you look at true style bosses like Stan, Cary, Alex Steadman and Coedie, they all have bars that dont have them bending over like Dan Barrett.
No offense to Dan's riding, hes still an awsome rider

 

[Spencer281]

those guys all ride like bmx though.

Eric Ostrom is steezy as fuckk and is def taller than me (I'm 6'1ish", and we both ride 20 high 16 wide.

I agree that anyone that rides bmx style needs taller and higher bars, but don't ever say that short bars automatically mean you have no style

 

[Jon Reyes]

i ride low bars

19 high

my back never hurts, and to me i feel more leverage when i ride lower idk, I don't ride dumb low though

depends on the rider

 

[Steezeman]

I'm not totally against people riding low bars, but only to a certain extent. Like Josh Young, sorry bro but your bars are way too low. That's like Dan Warwick status. I remember Brian used to ride them super low too (still does for his height if I remember correctly), and it just looks bad. I think as long as you're not bending over super far then you're fine.

On the other hand, riding bars that are too tall for you looks really dumb too.
