yes they are, they are pretty much normal knee sliders, with a titanium cover.
back when I were a lad we'd drill tiny holes into regular sliders and insert zippo lighter flints into the holes.

In fact before the days of this titanium stuff, that seems to be all the rage with you youngins, I think the off the shelf sparkly sliders were made similarly.

I remember when real mens bikes with wobbly frames and nasty two stroke powerbands meant it was a real achievement to just stay astride the bike round a corner, let alone drag yer knee...
