Looked around on the interwebs but couldnt find what I was looking for. Im looking to pick up an STP this weekend but I wanted to know if the sizing would work for me. Im 5'6-5'7 and Im looking at buying the long. Anyone think would fit well for me or should I be looking at the regular or short?

are you used to longer frames?

I personally would go w/ the shorter one. I am 5' 7" ish and have the short one. I put a short stem on it and it still seems a bit long in the front. But I spent 25 years riding bmx bikes.....

Im use to downhill and XC bikes but I dont really have a norm on DJ frames. Just found an SS for 300 and figured it would be a good deal, but if it doesnt fit me it wouldnt be such a deal.

5ft7 and had the regular size (13.5") I never did get to dirt jumping but that size seemed doable even for XC type riding, I don't think I'd want a bigger frame for the riding it was meant to do, unless like someone said you tend to prefer longer frames.

5'11" here and on the 14" (shorter smaller size of the two) with a 40mm stem and use it for jumping, DH and XC.
I do like short bikes tho.
