yeh man, that is way to short for you...i would go to at least like 167's or something at your height...and that would be barley like as tall as you i think...if u dont care...why are u asking?

just a thought.

depending on how old u are the size would be different. if u are done growing then get something about the same hieght as u im 5'9 and i ride a 176 for all park which are 3 cm higher than me. that would probably be a good size for u stay between that and 167

as sir.holland said get something around 167. 158 is just to small even for a beginner.
