Rusty is 6' -
Erik Ruck is 6'
Andrew, Danny Daniel, & Shawn Watson are all 5'11"

My guess woulda been Ruck...

Bret van den Heuvel has gotta be like 6'4". Perfect example of why most pros are short...he goes as big and has a long trick list, but everything just looks a little awkward

Thats why I was wanting to kno who to watch..I figure the timing has got to be different for tricks when you have an extra foot of legs lol..I'm nowhere near ready to try anything where my height would hold me back, but just want to watch the taller guys and how they throw their weight around.Do you get style points for looking like a gazelle? Very Happy

Brad Smeele is 6' 2" i think.

I always had felt like Rusty was bigger than that too. Probably would have guessed 6'2-6'3 from his videos. Something about his stance always made him seem bigger. Thought he was more of a monster of a dude. Still a ridiculously powerful rider though.

Ya rusty is a very powerful rider. Hes a pretty stout lookin guy.

Brad S. might be that tall but i member seein him ride and he rips pretty good.

I'm 6'3" and living near Orlando I've seen a lot of the pros. The guys about my size are Corey Bradley, Scotty Broome, Cobe Mikacich, and shoot, I know there are more, but can't think of them right now. I haven't seen any taller than me yet.

Anybody seen Big Spence? He's a photographer and he's about my height, but his claim is that he weighs the same as Shaq. He shreds on a wakeboard too. He can spin and flip. But of course, he is Big Spence!

Dye, Height really doesn't make basic inverts/spins much harder, definitely not to the point where it will hold you back.

Ah...I'm about 6'8"

i think corey bradley is about 6'6". Height doesn't really hinder you on inverts, I'm 6'3" and can do bel airs and air rolls, with no wake whatsoever.
