question about tall riders.

[Peter Bristol]

i see all the dimensions on riders and notice many ride low, but then again i'm about 6'2 155 pounds.
i measured today and the height was about 22"

does this seem TOO high?
lower i can't ride with breaking my back, and higher i can't get enough pick up.

 

[skooterkid]

It doesnt matter how high or low you ride them. Ride your own height, feel comfortable.

 

[Peter Bristol]

alright thanks, and whats with the width? is wider better for something i'm missing?

 

[skooterkid]

Um. people like wider bars for style, or they feel stock bars are just too short.

 

[Peter Bristol]

gotcha,
thanks for your help!

 

[Spencer Steed]

wider bars mean more control over tailwhips and other tricks, well to most people

i just started riding wider and it is so more confortable

 

[frorider420]

yeah as someone who has alwayse had stock bars riding wider bars when i get the chance is a real luxury. And im 6'2" too and i ride about 21-22 inches high...thats about the comparitive hight to the 18 high for the 5 foot 5 guys ya know....

Another note about being tall and heavy.... It makes alot of tricks alot harder, adn there is way more wieght to balence and shit...i wish i was 5 foot and 110 lbs liek alot of the kids on this site!

 

[Peter Bristol]

haha sweet i have someone in my boat!

so widebars are easier to do stuff on?

 

[russian serjey]

wider bars usually make your riding a lot smoother and steezier in park
