How tall are you?

stick1300 · 09-03-2008, 05:22 PM

How tall are you and how does it affect your riding?

I'm only 5'6", which I know isn't too short, but there are certain things I don't see myself ever really being able to do because of it (ex. clutching it out from under me then jumping to it, since I'm pretty sure the tail would just catch my legs and take me with it). It doesn't bother me though, I'll just focus on other stunts, but I was wondering what everyone else thought on the subject.

I don't think it matters. I've seen all sorts of sizes and shapes killing it.

6ft4 I think being tall hurts me alot, like its close to imposible to stand on the front pegs an do wheelies. this realy sucks cause it is how I learnd on my dirt bike. standing on the seat and pulling it up is hard because my back is bent way over to reach the bars. but I guess there are some advantages that I can't see Im new to stunting on sport bikes. I feal if I had a 12 bar to stand on the low speed stuff would be easyer.

+1, but I also think that being tall or short helps certain tricks. Taller people can circle more easily because the have more weight to counter balance the bike to keep it in the circle. Shorter people can straight line combo easier because theres less weight disturbing the bike.But like he said, it doesnt matter that much
