I'm a pretty tall guy about 6'0-6'1 with long arms and legs I was just wondering what you guys are running for bars and stems, I would like to get some tag t2's but I'd be afriad I'd be bent over while riding.

get yourself some oversize bars cr high bend perhaps, oversize clamp, and a +2 stem. you'd sit at about +3 for the stem (because the clamp add about an inch), but it would feel good with the lower bars.

Garret has a Roll design +1 stem and Tag CR double hi bars. He's 6'3" and it seems to work alright for him.

It makes bar hops a little easier having a roll +1 stem and Tag CR double hi bars ;)

I'm only about 5'7" so I am running Fly Aero Tapered mini high bend bars and a stock stem. They are very similar to a CR double high in height but are a little more narrow in width. This is the same bend that is used by Jay Quinlan and a lot of other sled freestylers. I like them a lot because they make stand up riding and jumping more comfortable and less cramped.
