Dylan. Seems so lanky on video but he was quite short irl. Definitely not 6 foot 1 as wiki has it (just checked). 5 11 at most I'd say. Made the stuff he did that much more impressive. Austyn as well.
5 foot 11 is short? are you Dutch or something?
Haha, nailed it. I just meant quite short compared to what I expected. Must have been the slim fits and giant pop. He was about my height which is indeed below average in this part of the world.
5.11 seems about right. I saw Dylan in person once and I was super impressed at how powerful he was even though he looked so skinny. He skated a super steep and Rough Bank and backslid it with no wax every try while filming a line. I had skated that spot for years and I didn‘t even think that trick was possible even with a lot of wax.
5.11 is the average height of males in Germany. It is above average for German skaters, though.
Skaters heights is my favorite topic. I thought Heath would be much bigger. He was about 5.8
The same with Jon Dixon. He‘s even shorter, about 5.6 He was really buff though. He looked like a professional gymnist or Olympic wrestler or something.
