Long or Short?

[thisthingz]

hey. im looking around for a bike now and im wondering which length would be more suitable to learn on, 1065 mm or 1085mm? I am 5'10 and like a 1/4, with some more to grow.
What do you guys suggest?

Depends on what you wanna do with it. If you're into a few streety type moves, you would prolly be better off with the 1065 rather than the 1085. Also, make sure that these are actual wheelbase lengths (the levelboss 1065 comes out to like 1080-1090).

It's the rider more than the bike. There was one guy pulling awesome street moves on a long koxx, and I think the guy who won the trials championship last year was on a short monty. Just starting out, it odesn't really matter that much, either. You're likely not gonna notice a big difference betwen the two, but try each out of if you can. As you get better, you can switch to whatever length you feel more comfortable with.
