Hi,
Just wondering what size frames you use for different kind of riding?
I have a 22.5inch trek (I am 6'6) but I am finding it difficult to get it air bound cos of the weight and stuff. Wondering in general a large frame is harder to do tricks and stuff with?

Larger frames are a lot harder to get airborne, not because of the weight, but the way in which you jump.
I have found that (as a rough guide) your inside leg measurement minus 14" gives you a good frame size for most riding, I'm a 32" leg & ride 17 & 18" frames. For jump/DH & FR go a little smaller & for XC go a little bigger.
No substitute for trying a bike for size though.
