Questions never addressed.
Does the group frequently ride to places or engage in mounted combat?
If so then a wizard with the ride feat is not that out of balance - since you need to make a ride check in order to cast a spell while mounted.
No one had ever addressed whether or not the wizard's player was asked about his conept for his character. Nor was an example of how he role-played the PC (only a comment on him not having sufficient ranks in the appropriate skills to get bonuses due to synergy). As pointed out the PC couldn't have 5 ranks in a cross class skil by 3rd level.
Since they are cross class skills, perhaps the player felt that they were useful enough for the situation to justify not having to spend cross class skill points to increase ranks. For the price of one feat the character saves 4 skill points (2 ranks equivalent in 2 cross clas skills).
As far as Acrobatic goes same logic could apply.
Tumble is a good skill to use to get out of AoO range so there could be a benefit.
