My we the people trust has a big front tire and a smaller back tire. Is that normal? Will it be better for tricks if my front tire and back tire were both the same size??

Why should it be any different. It won't change how you ride, its just how grippy your tyres are. It doesn't make a difference man. Even if you switched to both 2.25 tyres you wouldn't feel the difference.

iv run 2 3.0 size tires front and back it does feel different but yeah it doesent changer your riding i generally like rideing to bigger size tires cause if feels more solid to me its all personal preferance generally a bigger tire is better in the front so you dont slide out as easy when turning fast

The bigger tires have more grip. The smaller tires keep speed better.

You can run a bigger tire at a higher pressure to get less resistance and still have grip in turns and when landing.

You can run smaller tires lower to get the same effect, but with less weight.
