I'd get an XL Patrol. I'm 6-3 and up in Kalispell. I ride an XL Jeffsy 29. I have 35 inseam so I know the struggles with find a good fit. Patrol has 483mm reach and 641 TT. That's about as good as it gets for bikes available right now. Or wait for the Sentinel or Orbea Rallon. XL Jeffsy 27 is an option too, but it's a bit smaller. It has a 480mm reach and 648 TT. You want the steepest seat tube possible for a good pedaling position. That basically rules out a Hightower LT.

There was a sweet XL Patrol in Spokane a couple weeks ago on craigslist...

I'm 6'5"-6" witha 36" inseam and bought the aforementioned sweet xl patrol in spokane. I run it with a 50mm stem and 800mm bars and 170mm reverb its not bad, worlds better than my giant trance. Might go for a 60-70mm stem in the future but it's a solid fit for a big fella. Also nice if you're not crazy about the wagon wheels, the patrol feels a bit livelier and comfier than the wreckoning I demo'd this spring.

I would go for the transition smuggler, it's very bike park orientated and in XL is nicely stretched out. I'd be surprised if there was a better all round bike out there.

6ft7 here and after a search and changing frames every 6 months finally settled on a Stumpjumper 16 29er XXL. Easily capable of park riding as can be seen by Keene/Graves etc. I am running mine with coil Pikes and an Ohlins TTX, thing is awesome, have taken it off some sizeable jumps/drops. I looked at the Guerilla Trail Pistol too but my shock wouldn't fit so thinking about just getting another Stumpy frame at the start of next season. I didn't find XXL Liteville big enough or Transition for all day riding but it seems that other tall people above do. Few options though.

I'm 6' 9" and ride a XXL Stumpjumper with a long stem. I don't have much to compare to because I never have the opportunity to demo other bikes. I'll probably get a custom frame made some day.

I know I mentioned the smuggler in the above post, but I just picked up a Kona Process 111 29er XL and recommend you add it to the list, I have had one ride on it so far and it fits really good out of the box, coming from an XL trance.
