If you do mostly rails, you probably don't want the TMs. They are notorious for their weak edges.

i heard it was supposed to be up to the bridge of your nose... for you i'd say no shorter than 168/170

^ that is just a general rule of thumb. some people like them shorter, and some people like them longer. my seth pistols i ski park with are up to the bridge of my nose, and im going to get maden ak's that are taller than i am.
