It's far more important the weight distribution rather then only weight . I have a friend who is 80 kg but he has no legs, he has at least 20 sec front lever. I do not have enormous legs but I think that 66 cm circumference is enough to have 2 seconds front lever.

why do you say " good way to hurt yourself" ?

Dominik Sky is known for being terribly reckless and always injuring himself.

I had said this one time but I'll say it again. IMHO 180 isn't tall. It might be tall by gymnastics standards, but in real life everything below let's say 185 cm and more than 165-170 cm is pretty average. For instance, I'm 194 cm and I consider myself tall, but not crazy tall. I see people every day that are as tall as me or even taller. As Alessandro was saying, it's also about weight distribution and about the length of your limbers compared to the torso. In my case, my "wingspan" is few cm over 2m. No wonder my arms look so small :)

That sounds like basketball player proportions  :o

They sure are! But playing basketball would have been too easy so I chose the hardest practice for my body structure :) That's probably also because I'm terrible at pretty much everything that involves having balls in my hands (no pun intended).
