pulling through into highchair....

i have a question, is there anyone as tall as me that can pull through?
im 6"4(and i have really long legs) and about 230, i know doing it on my 636 is out of the question but on my f4i maybe its a posibility?
i just want to know what setup the taller guys run to be able to do this and any thecniqes?. (sorry about the spelling)
Thanks in advance

Damn 6'4"

Well I'm 5'9" and don't have a problem on the f4i but depending on how far back your dent is and how flexible you are I don't see why you couldn't. I've seen some 6 footers do it before.

Re: pulling through into highchair....

well in all fairness, i will never be able to pull my right leg through due to my knee but i would be more than happy with just pulling into a 50/50, i can sort of do it when the bike is parked but doing it in a wheelie is a diffrent story, maybe i need to take up a yoga class

im 6'1'' 205lbs, tried it a few times but i've decided it's a lost cause. I hate to say it but i think it's physically impossible for someone your size unless your gumbeeeeee or something

theres a guy around me that's the same weight and can do it. i think it's the weight issue more than height.

Re: pulling through into highchair....

I'm 5'10 and its not super easy for me but I noticed since I dented my new tank differently it's much easier. Also try twisting the handle bars a little to get that extra room to pull through. You can always step through also which is way easier.
