For those of you who ride all street and some park, what is the average width do you think pro's and people like yourself run on the width of your handlebars, I am wanting to cut down my bars to 26.5" and my dad wants me to get evidence on an average width of handlebars for street riding, I know it is all personal preference but my dad disagrees with that
SO, what is the width you run on your handlebars for street riding, and again I know it is all personal preference

28
trails are not skateparks, they exist solely from the work and dedication of local riders. so next time you start complaining about not having local trails to ride, you only need look at yourself.
Bike check?

I haven't felt a difference width wise since I first got big bars. I had little ass 23 or 22x7 something sunday color bars and bumped up to 26x8, then 27x7.9, now I'm at 26.5x& and I haven't felt a difference at all really. it's all preference.

can rstar bar? he always hit me as more of a flip and whip kinda guy...
I have nothing against pegs at all, I don’t think you’re dumb if you ride pegs, I don’t care about your pegs, they are just pegs! What I do hate is the fact that every person in BMX hops on this bandwagon of three pegs, and beanies, and weed, and hop-over grinds… It’s just sad that the pros who influence kids are more worried about looking cool than the kids themselves! It’s crazy!-Trey Jones

don't go any lower than 28, id say thats todays standard. just look at damnscomp specs. anything smaller than that and it feels like your riding in the 90s
if u go that small you might swell get yourself a pair of milk bars
i can barspin 30.75s
