6 feet tall

You are 6-ft tall, large foot size, wearing boots, do you plan or how do you manage to ride seated? I'm only 5'8", shoe size 8 and I manage to sit but it's extremely hard not to have my shin/lower leg caught on the jump pads.

I hear you there. I don’t do much seating riding, but it’s something I want to improve on. I made a custom seat for my SS that sits a few inches higher than the stock ones. I added a battery pack into it as well to power cob Leds I have running down the front are rear fender. It’s much more comfortable and a better hight for me. It’s fully upholstered too. I still have to move my feet out a bit from my pads in order to sit, which is fairly normal depending on your pad setup.

I was at a mini pev games (euc, eskate, onewheel) event on Saturday and chatted with a buddy of mine about SS pedal angles. He’s riding with -12 degrees! I’ve been riding at -4 for a few months now and very acclimated to it. I tried-6 today and liked it. Might go further with it after I get used to where I have them now. It has more torque and nimbleness with some forward pedal angle if anyone hasn’t tried it, I’d recommend at least testing it out.
