I ride a scissor on 47c's but it's not really for 'tricks' - I just like being able to jump over and off stuff. I use it off road too. And for me the only reason for having a fixed bike as opposed to a street mtb is that I like being able to sit down probably. On my scissor I've got full leg extension and a nice hi bar position.
The only reason I wouldn;t ride a jump frame with a mega seat post is aesthetic - I think it looks shite. Plain and simple.
