My riding buddy has a 70mm with a 10 deg. angle, and it's flipped up. I've never asked but I bet it is real "twitchy". Thomson x2 I believe.

I've seen them down to 40 and up to 140. Try ebay, lots of stems there.

60 mm is usually the shortest length that you can get with a 26 mm bar clamp. 50 mm is available for a 25.4 mm bar clamp and some REALY chunky stems can be found in 40 mm length for downhill use.

Look at the Freeride section of Mountain bikes.
