Ive been hearing some conflicting opinions here and there on what handlebar bends are the best for doing bar tricks such as: Mc Metz's, Barhops, Saran Wraps, etc. Im kinda on the short side at 5'7" so am I at more of a disadvantage at getting my legs through the bars than someone taller? If so would I need Tag T2's that are higher or lower? Would a lower bar be easier for me to get my legs through or would a higher one be better? I currently have the Tag SX bend which I believe is similar to a CR High Bend only a little bit higher. The SX is the same dimensions as the Tommy Clowers and the Ricky Carmichael bends too if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Im no FMX pro or nutn, but I try and do a few tricks, anyways I like bars with a higher bend because when I land rough with low bend bars it makes my wrists hurt..........

Get higher bend bars.. it is easy to do tricks and keeps you outta the way of hitting things on your quad.. Tag T2's... are the hot ****
