What's a good ski to get for the sole purpose of urban jibbing (I would never use it on the mountain, just around town on a good ice day (there's nothing like a mid-atlantic ice storm to get the rails nice and frozen)?

Something small and light (i.e. MN 142) would be a fun skate ski for the xcountry trails and days the local biking trails are coated with snow...

I have the old K2 pipelines for my urban ski. I picked it up for that purpose for $50. They suck ass otherwise.

It doesnt even need to be a twin so anything light and short will do.
