Is it possible....

Is it possible to mount a trials type drive side crankarm to the left side of the bottom bracket? I want a very small ring up front so I can bust my a@@ trying to do "Quicksilver" type moves, but I don't want to sacrifice my only fixed gear ride to do it.
Either that, or have an identical crank and cog on the left side, so I can have a dual drive bike.
I have so much more time than money. Just wondering if it is possible.

You could put a right-side drive crank on the left, but you would need to loc-tite in the pedal to keep it from unthreading. And clipless pedals are basically undoable too.

Or, you could get a left side drive crank for a tandem. Then the pedal will say it, and clipless is doable. But, you don't get the tiny-ass chainwheel of the trials cranks.
