Skate Pole question

Ok, this is mainly a question for Brad, but anyone feel free to chime in!

I just got my new skate setup, and the sweet poles came really long and are meant to be cut down to size. My old cheapies are 155cm, and I might want to go longer than that. I'm about 5'10". What's the longest you think I might reasonably end up liking? 160cm, or even longer?

Keep em full length...

I'd say keep them full length so you can use them on your bike too. ;)

You should cut them so that

You should cut them so that when standing on flat ground, with your boots on they hit you about at the chin to lip. This was the previous thought, it might have changed since then though.
