Im 6'0' and i hate it. I always think that my style is messed up because I am tall. I dont think that tallness could affect anybody;s carreer. What do you all think?

my theory with tallness is that it's harder to look good with your style, but once your style looks good everything looks better than if you were short. When I pull the big floaty 3s or 180s it definetly looks way cooler than some midget focker doing it. BIGGER is BETA

I'm 6'2' but I don't attribute my lack of style to my height, like everyone's said there are a lot of stylie tall riders out there, you just need to learn to tuck shit up and style it out.

I'm 6'2' and being tall used to piss me off, but then I realized I could be steezy if I just worked on it. I also figured out that people don't mess with tall people because they're scared of them, and girls like tall guys, so it isn't that bad.

im 6'2 or 6'3 and 190. I dont think putting steeze in your tricks isnt that much harder than it would be for a smaller person but its just harder to grab sometimes. I also think being tall makes everything look better
