Yeah I think this is pretty much accepted fact. the compromise is that the wider stance gives you better balance for jibs. since the guys riding most parks aren't throwing double cork 12s, the tradeoff for jibs in favor of spin is a no-brainer. That said, if you're 5'8" and rocking a 24" stance you might wanna reconsider
