although that's no excuse, as bigman is a bit of a beast.

Taller people are heavier though, so there must be an optimal mix of muscle and height. Giaco and Vincent are the best riders around and they are both roughly the same size ~185cm.

I don't think being short hurts you that much though. Trials doesn't seem to be the type of sport where height plays a huge role, mainly because shorter people in general have a higher power to weight ratio. Just watch Vinco get schooled by Caisso almost every time.

theres a guy in my class at college whos 6ft1 n hes 10 stone im 5ft8 and i way 12 stone and i aint fat at all

Im 6ft 2 which seems just over average between all the riders about here. Or only the tall ones bothered putting down their height :P .

What is the best body build for a trials rider do you reacon? Im quite built broad shoulders and all that but quite a few of the awesome riders I see dont have big athletic builds but are mega toned. (might be wrong please don't slate me)

Do you think being big (built) hinders your chanes of ever getting really good?

Your hight, as an advantage or disadvantage, must be relative also to the bike parts which you use; how well do they fit?

I'm interested in the considerations involved when somebody goes to build a frame? What or whos bodyily structures do frame or even parts manufactures consider? Can anyone answer this for me?

Would 28" wheels be better for larger individuals?

I would f**kin love 28" wheels, it'd be mental. 28", 1200 wheelbase, 20mm bb rise, 380mm stays. My ideal bike, and one that i'd still bunnyhop ;)
