Nope. They explode on impact of any metal object.

I ended my first season of straight park skiing and I was skiing on my old race skis. And now i'm looking to buy the SPK I was wondering if they would be worth buying even if there not so hot on the rails.

yea everyone on NS is right about the SPK

SPK stants for salomon park killers and everyone knows parks dont include rails at all just jumps

listen to the kid who mentioned teh fitty cal bullets. keep your straight airs grabless too because the spk doesn't like to be touched

well you didn't get a straight answer so yes, the only ski i would say is not made for rails is the pipecleaner

hahaha.... salomon put a sick buttah' zone in their spk's this last year

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UDjIVpM8tiA&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UDjIVpM8tiA&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

if that didnt work:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=UDjIVpM8tiA







actually those are race skis with the spk graphics taped on so that they look sick. otherwise there would be no way this video would be possible becuase the skis would just explode

no, not at all one time i heard that if you hit a rail on them they actual have some sort of magnetic charge and send you back up to the top of the slope.


just DO NOT get them under any circumstances, but for a rail ski try the salomon crossmax...
