I'm about 6'3" and I'm skinny as fuck. I feel so awkward on man-made jumps, I've always preferred natural stuff.

6'1 and very skinny. biggest thing I've noticed is that my center of balance when spinning isn't as good as someone a lil shorter. also my knees kill on harder landings but i don't think being tall is necessarily a bad thing

Nick Goepper, David Wise, and Joss Christensen are all 6' or taller and they all medalled in the Olympics... not exactly the kings of steeze though.

I'm 6'1" myself and I have to really focus on not looking like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man when I hit park features

This, and finding tall clothing is really hard for me. I'm 6 1 and 4xl tall shirts will still be like 6 inches above my knees. I feel like taller clothing would help hide the goofyness of being lanky
