I'm same height as you. I found "long" mods better for like sidehops. and gaps. Bunny hops and backwheeling stuff was pretty hard. On the other hand a "short" was a monty which is one of the shorest bikes out there, was awsome for bunny hop, gaps were fun. I had a high rise stem on, which was really nice. I only had it for about 2 weeks though! Really regret swaping it. With get a 1010ish which would be good for everything. I had a ride on my mates old Echo lite, which measured 1025 and I would never go longer, was such a nice bike,to ride
