I'm 6 feet tall...but keep in mind these are small bikes, basically for doing tricks. Rarely will you be in a straight riding position!
I strongly suggest you get a bike and start riding, it's fun.

I'm 6'02" and I have been riding an Opsis for almost two years...
Go for it bro, it's a good purchase, and it will work fine for your height.

im 6.0' tall and I ride 19.75 hoffman strowler frame and love it.
I also rode 20.75" tt S&M laf frame and enjoyed that also - and was still able to do every trick on the long street frame - cliffhangers were harder but I could still do them.

You may be disappointed if you fail but doomed if you never try. Some people advance through life. Others remain stagnant and only dream of what they can achieve. There is a difference between wanting and having, saying and doing. Don't let those who fear progression keep you down or steal your vision. Act out on your dreams. Everything is real and ANYTHING is possible.
