its easier to do tailswhips and 360's and stuff like that wit wide bars but cutting them i dont think will make a huge deal.

if you're pretty small ride like 14-17 and pretty big is like 18 to whatever. Just ride what's comfortable to you.

i'm 11 and i ride 24" its pretty sick, but i make my bar to 20" i think..

pros: better tailwhips and 360, more handling
cons: no barspins

cut them down to like 16.5 or 17. thats my preference. i do alot of nosemannys and tech stuff too. i had 18.5 and i still ride that, but i cant wait till my inwards come in. no more wide barssss :) but thats only my opinion. its up to you.

I'm riding 18w bars rite now and I'm in the same boat. I am also thinking about cutting mine to 16w. My barspins are so f*cked up it isn't even funny. I started by just whacking my thigh 1 million times until now I lean back so that it doesn't. Now since I lean back my back foot lands on the brake and I don't go anywhere. I can truck on stock bars but I only get barspins 50% of the time on my 18w bars. If you cut them and it works out, please tell me, I might do the same.

honestly, its all about what you're comfortable with. i was riding 20 high 16 wide for almost a year, then when my bars broke, went right up to 22.5 high, 19 wide and i still have all my tricks, and bar to bars every try. so do what your comfortable with.

18 to 21 is good. i mean its up to you but personally bar tricks look so much better with wide bars. i really doesent effect your whips or anything.
