I ride with a 100mm stem and don't have a problem with wheelies. You gotta pop like you mean it!! -

I'm running 44/17 and it only took a couple minutes to adjust after stepping down from 48/17. Both lift just fine. -

haha, ebrep1, I had that same ratio transition. I actually went down to 44/17 so I could manage to do wheelies easier + get up hills faster without losing too much speed on the downhills... -

Yeah, 44/17 is whats up, if you're surrounded by hills. -

as long as you have a decent flat section on your bars you should be able to do tricks. 44x15 may be a tad high, but shouldn't prevent you from doing much. if your current stem fits you, dropping 40mm will feel weird. sounds like you just need to practice.
really though, these kinds of questions would be better asked at either tricktrack.freeforums.org or tarckbike.com -
