Default Tracker 106's too small for a HS setup?

So I'm realizing that a HS deck would've been a wiser choice for me as i'd like to take on more intense courses, but I'm not sure if Tracker 106's are wide enough for this. Your thoughts?

also on a side note, is wedging bad for rough riding (i.e. hard carving, flatland slashes, standup slides)? As I'd like to ride more aggresively too, without the cones.

Perfect size; the wedging will keep traction in the rear, but it will slide if pushed.

Thats what I ride on mine and I think it works great. I would wedge it just because wedge is awesome imo and it will help control your pumps and keep your back truck under control. And I wouldn't slide the wheels on your slalom board just cause you could round the lip of your wheels and you will loose alot of tractoin when your going around the cones.
