I can't decide which frame to get, I'm about 6'3 and I ride nothing but urban. I either want to get the czar or the zoo pitbull. Right now I am riding a woodman t-comp that feels a little small. Which frame would be better suited for me?

until we actually see a few riders build up and ride teh czar ivans its a hard call to make. I like the feel of the pitbulls, but its hard to compare bikes where almost no one has ridden one of them.

you a pretty tall guy, cause I like doing manuals and stuff, but I dont know if a longer frame will hinder that,

Hey Stu, I've seen u ride... A longer frame WILL hinder manuals. There are so many street and urban DJ 26 and 24 frames out there right now with great geometry(the rear ends are gettin' shorter and the front ends a gettin' longer), I would think one of these would work great 4 u if u geared it low enough, plus you'd also have a seat. Your style is all street, not pure trials... Check out Ride This and look at some of their 26 and 24 hardtails. Compare geo on some of these bikes and see if they'd work......if you can read geometry that is......some people can't, some gotta ride it to see.
Just tryin' to help.

Maybe a Black Market frame? MFG'd by S+M! BMX dropouts? Long version?

I love my Zebdi. If you're riding only street I suggest a VERY short stem, and it'll be a great bike for street/trials. Although personally I would go for a BMX and a used mod/stock.
