[fly]

15

 

[Jdbug_rob]

[Chaseme37]

I've ridden stocks forever, and I like them fine, but I think it looks a little weird because I'm 6'2 and my arms look a little cramped. I'm gonna go to 15 wide and see if I like it better

 

[idk47]

No, don't you dare. Stay with stock and be a man! =]

^^stock is too small. "15's are the absolute lowest anyone should go" or something along those lines is one of Andrew Broussard's famous quotes, and he is THE dude behind the whole scene today pretty much, so listen to him.

That has no effect on how much air you get, it's how much ass you haul and if you pump the qp enough and all the stuff. And a good policy for bars is to stand with your feet on the ground on each side of the deck, then reach down and if you can just wrap your fingers around your bars when standing up completely straight, that's about a good height, but that's what I do, it's different for most people..

16

ok ill try that, right now to get my bar hieght (i have a bolted bar) i stand on the deck and see standing straight up were i can touch the bars, but i might try standing on the ground and seeing how it feels

*pics*

dude no way, I seriously thought you were riding like 18 or 19 in those pics when I saw em in the pictures section, they def don't look 21 for some reason, I have no clue why..


But I used to have 21's with backsweep, they were riser mtb bars that got super annoying after a while because of the shape.. so yeah.

 

[ridescoot14]

15's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Snow Patrol]

i ride 15s, perfect balance for me.

i saw a kid with at least 23" or more this weekend, he was a little over 5 foot and it looked like it was overkill.

 

[Tylerr.]

Omg
john i rode that kids bars and felt so gay cause i couldnt air out super duper boosted and do good turndowns and i was riding 23.5's
hahaha
