Those were the lab 001's. They are pow skis and have a rockered base so too much rails will destroy the bases like no other.

The video was more just for shits and gigs. I personally would never even take those skis near a rail personally. Still a awesome video.

Convex base+flat metal rail=fucked bases

The Lab 002, will be a park specific ski, and as far as I am aware it shall not feature any of the 'design quirks' on the Lab 001. From what I can gather it's a high end performance park ski. If you want to find out more about them, I'd take a look at the Surface Noise thread. There's discussion in there, and I'm sure the surface guys would be able to help you out with any questions you may have, they seem to get on to them pretty quickly.
