Gear Ratio For Riding And Little Skidding/Hopping?
My gear ratio is 46:16 right now, I mostly ride around but I want to be able to skid, so I figured I should change the gear.
What gear ratio is optimal for riding and skidding/hopping? The best of both worlds

So today for lunch I had a bag of popcorn. Don't you just love being a broke college student?

I'm a noob but 46x17 would probably be fine, looks like 71.3 gear inches and 17 skid patches.
