Curious what bar widths you guys are running these days for dirt jumping and street riding.  I was running 26 inch joints back in the early 2000s.  These days I have 760 mm with 2 inch rise.  A bit wide like DH bike status.  What are you comfortable with at DJ speed and slow speed street moves?

I'm out of the game now due to MS, but back when I rode I used to use "Full length." bars when they were 28"/711mm. I never had any issues with stability and still had room for bars spins and x-ups without the bars hitting my seat. It should be said though that I'm 6'7"/2m and always ran the longest frames available.

I am 6'3”/1.91 m and have run 750 mm with 50 mm rise for a good while, until I tried some 810 mm with 3” rise ProTapers on someones bike and I was hooked. So I have that on my Jackal V.2 and love it. I am not a barspin guy, though!
