I haven't seen it, but it wouldn't surprise me, given that many tricks fixed freestylers do are adapted from flatland BMX.

the problem with those pegs it that they screw on to the axel. Right now im riding something similar that bolts on and I just chopped them down because they were to long. I pretty much destroyed my bike in a matter of weeks. This isnt something I would practice unless you plan on buying new frames and forks all the time.
