In regard to the post 2 up from here... pegs on anything but a BMX are both ridiculous and insane.
Bmx will always be best for tricks, due, simply to their low stand over height, immensely short back end, steep head angle and generally being very chuckable.
I fail to see how anyone can argue that riding a fixed trick bike can make anything easier (other than the obvious backwards-spin-things). However I would champion the fact that people ride them because they are really fun and something different to the current offerings of bmx and street-mtb. I wouldn't say they should be incomparable, as people always will, but they are bikes built for different purposes and with different capabilities. As long as you know and expect the limits (eg. speed, distance, tricks) of your chosen bike then you will have a whale of a time!
