haha im 6'2"-6'3", and 165 pounds. i just turned 16. im waay lanky, and pretty thin. the hardest thing i would say for tall footbaggers.... the size of our feet. it limits the shoes we can get, (no red lavers or quantums even) and its more weight to throw around for dexes. but i totally know my long legs give me an advantage for dexing around calfs/thighs, and i like lavers, so its all good =) but yeah, whenever i symposium, it = earthquake hah

I've never seen anyone above that height move gracefully in all my years of martial arts and I always thought that my basketball games, and ones I've watched, were just displays of freakism. "Look at how accurate that tall, goofy looking guy can shoot the ball! He can't even run straight though."

I think footbag displays this even more. A tall guy has bigger windows and can step out of anything. But when Chad D tries a PS whirl, the whole world will shake and one year is permanently erased from his knees' lifetime. It seems like most taller players gravitate toward shuffling and double dexes, leaving spinning and symposiums to the little man. A 6 footer just has way too much trouble gracefully exitting mobius>PS whirl. (And the common misconception is wrong imo...ducking is no harder)

That's just what I've found. I could be wrong.

In other words, this sport best for Asians, Chinese, Japanese korean etc..... Lets hope this sport get explore in ASia !

6'1 170 lbs. I'm just beginning to incorporate spins into my runs and they're coming along rather nicely! 8) Symposiums are easy for me as well. Shoe size is definitely annoying, size 13 is hard to find, but my toe box on laver's is huge compared to that of fellow shredders'.

I think there is no perfect height, it comes down to body composition and your build. If a tall person has a muscled or athletic build, they should have no disadvantage in footbag compared to a short person built athletically or muscular. Granted, short people have less body mass to move around when it comes to speed, but I know tall people that can move damn fast.

Just my two cents. :P

6'2'' (maybe) around 140lbs. I'd like to be a little bit shorter maybe but I don't think it really makes too much of a difference. I think thin people have an advantage, but as Matt Cross said the first day I ever met him "you either have the muscle/strength or you don't". There are definitely bulkier people out there who can do crazy dexes just by powering through and bitch slapping physics in its dumb face. SO. The strong survive. And the thin. :D I guess.
