im getting back into bmx after about a four year break and I need help picking out a bike. I'm about 5'11" and I don't know what size of top tube length for the bike I should get.

When it comes to the tt length it's completely up to personal preference. Some of the guys here are your height or even taller but still rock a 20" tt. If you want something roomy look into a 20.75" or 21" anything over that is going to be to long. ( I'm 5'9 and I use a 20.75" but want to switch to a 21") the reach of a stem can change the feel of your bike tremendous keep that in mind.
