What bends do you run, and have you tried out the pastrana freestyle bend? As of now im getting the windham bend, thinking that the freestyle ones will be ridiculously tall and only comfortable on big jumps....the reason pastrana doesnt run them on his mx bike. What do you guys think. Im 6'4" if that helps at all, and Id be running the widham bars with the 'non' riser clamps, in other words they wont be bolted on the triple clamps any higher then the stock bars would be. Any suggestions? Thanks
All you tall guys that run pro-tapers, pastrana freestyle bend?

I run the fat bar Carmichael bend which is very tall and has very little pullback. It is not as tall as the Pastrana freestyle bend. It might be a happy medium for you. I am 6'2".

I run the RC bend with a universal kit (raises everything 3/4 inch. I'm 6'3" and ride only MX and hate to feel like my bars are in my lap.....

I am 6'2" and run the CR high bend. I just keep them foward orelse I tend to get lazy and drop them elbows. Tough bars though. Been on the ground lots with them. Bent pins, broken mounts and smashed throttle tubes, broken a leg and have yet to bend them. Tough, tough bars.
