48 18 would be good for tricks, as long as you don't mind spinning a lot.

naw man 17 is awesome. all those trick kids wish they had a higher ratio when theyre pedaling super fast to keep up with me haha. my old ratio was cool too but it was a bit too heavy for the street and would suck pretty bad now without my drops.

I run 48x16 with drops which is fun cause I can go much faster than my friends running like 44x17, but 48x16 only has one skid patch which is a serious problemo. If I went to 48x17 I'd increase that to...17 skid patches!
