Could be. It depends on 3 things: how aggro you are, what kind of turns you like (short or long radii) and terrain you like (bumps/tight trees vs. wide open spaces). If you're pretty aggro and used to longer sticks and like big turns in the open, then these could work. Otherwise, I'd lean shorter for your weight/height.
