Spotbrand do a bike called the longboard 9. Which is meant to be run 1x9. I very nearly bought frame off EBay. But went singlespeed instead with the standard Longboard. http://www.spotbikes.com/bikes/longboard9
Its quite a common set-up. Losing the big ring gives you more log clearance, and alot of folk plain dont use their granny ring. http://archive.mtbr.com/16/0EE98094.php
With a trials hub you could build a strong undished rear wheel and go say 1x6.
