Different people like different things. I'm 5'7" riding 21 high. My friends who are all shorter than me ride 22 high. So yeah, it's just preference.

i dont get this, you ride 22, your 5'9, why would you tell him to ride 19? if you do any math, that means he should ride 15

just get the highest sizes available, and cut em down till you like it.
and parrish, 15 high would be stupidly low. It's 100% preference. Im your height and i ride 22 high. I guess some people enjoy knowing that they will have serious back problems when theyre 40.

Yeah thats what I always think when I see people riding bars like kota, like damn, your back is gonna be screwed if you keep that up lol so I'll probably ride like 21s but with scs its like 23 or 22

Alright time for some clarification:

Get regular stock bars (with collar clamp and everything) and raise them to sack height.
Measure from the bottom of the clamp up to the middle of the T tube, there's your height.
I'm 5'8" riding 19.5 high.

Secondly, compression does not have anything to do with decks.

Third:
Suicides are the gnarliest bars you listed there.

NO IT DOESNT!!! you are failing math class dude i just know it. hes not a damn midget.
if you set up a proportion for that problem, he should be riding 19.78 high which is 20 high. just as proportion dude and its all preference if you set up that proportion for me hed be riding 20.5 high cuz im 5,7 and ride 22 high.. damn

im 6' and i ride 22.5 high 21 wide phoenix bars and their my favorite bars ive ever rode, rads r nice too but i went with phoenix since their heat treated. i agree with rob thats how i found my height preference at first, i tired going as high as i could and still b comfortable doing tricks and not hunched over because thats not comfortable or good for ur back
