pompytrials Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 i would of said stock because you are quite tall but yet again mod is easyer to start with and its all to do with what feels more comfterable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm 5'11 and I ride mod. I love it, all the stocks I've tried I've hated, but I bet I'll find one day that will suit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Mods all the way because they are smaller and more easier to throw around in smaller spaces, Although Iv never tried a stock because of my size it's an joint desision at this time ..

shnoof Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) In my opinion i find a MOD a lot harder to ride, e.g. Get up things, peddle up, control and gap. (But thats just my opinion.) I reckon you will find stock a lot easier to learn on as you are pretty tall. Hope this helped.(no offence to MOD riders. ) Edited August 7, 2009 by shnoof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 i ride a mod, ill be soon going to a longer frame, and im about 5'8" or so. seems very flickable and i just love the feel of it, untill i get some speed. then its sketchy. ive ridden one stock bike, an adamant a1, and the size of the tires just kinds overwhelmed me. the a3, the mod version, felt much better to me. although im not overwhelmed by my 26" wheeled MTB which i try to pull the same kind of stuff as i do on my mod. i think its very psychological. just try a couple, youll quickly find what you want.
