[QUOTE="MX-727, post: 311243, member: 19400"] I'm 6'4" and never thought about my height being a factor. I do use tall seat foam, tall bar mounts and higher bars. I figure with my longer legs, I can suck the bike up further and extend further than short guys. To me, height is an advantage. Look at Travis using those long "shock absorbers" through the whoops. Squeeze the bike with your knees and use a somewhat natural position when jumping. You can't get as low as shorter guys and if you try, you will force yourself into an unnatural postion that will cause all kinds of problems. At the top of the arc, I like to extend myself so I have full use of my long legs to absorb a landing. Just don't lock your knees (broken fibula). :( [/QUOTE]
