There is indeed a video of this.

There's also a video of someone trying a similar setup with a dirt bike, though those guys didn't reverse the front teeth (did still steer ok, not sure how well it'd brake).

God this is so stupid. There's nothing in that video that a set of studded tires can't achieve while also outperforming it on both on and off ice.

Yes, while they look interesting there are reasons why saw blade lookalike wheels aren't commonly used. I hate to think of how the weight of those dirt bike ones would affect the handling (probably not so much of a problem over smooth ice, but rougher terrain would be a challenge).
