Riding the pegs were pretty fun. Toothpicks on my razor punk rail were a breeze. But, being used to doing 50-50s and icepicks on the dropouts, I didn't really find that they helped with those tricks. But if you haven't learned them without pegs, then I'm sure you could with them.
Even though I never use the back peg for grinds, I still kept it on. Its a nice sort of deck extension, to help keep your foot on if you're riding ski, which I do when just pushing. Speaking of pushing, I did have to get used to putting my foot out farther when kicking. Catching your shoe on a peg is not fun at all. But after awhile it became natural, and not a problem at all.
Grinding ledges was...Well, you have to make sure the ledge is waxed up, otherwise they won't slide at all. But when you do have a waxed ledge, smiths are pretty fun. The pegs seemed to kinda wear down fast though. I only used them a few days before the front peg started wearing down. Its like it has a flat spot. Grinding ledges also made the front peg loose. A bit of threadlock could easily solve that problem though.
One thing I didn't like about them was how skinny they are. It made my peg hang fives feel a bit awkward, but I got used to it.
Pros:
-Light
-Easy to put on
-Do their job
Cons:
-Get loose pretty easily
-Thin
-Wear down easily
-Back peg sticks out

Overall, I would give these pegs a 4 out of 5 stars. They're fun for flat stuff, smiths, and rail tricks. They have a few negatives that you can get used to, or easily fix. They are pretty decent pegs, and I would recommend them. You can buy them on the SOA website. An additional review can be viewed here.
