Are you going fast enough?

They will be magnesium alloy, not pure magnesium as that would last 2 seconds then catch fire in a ball of bright white light.

I have Mg alloy sliders on my boots, they don't spark Sad .

Assuming the current sliders aren't badly worn down - the simplest way would be to drill and tap holes in the sliders then fit bits of steel/titanium bolt/threaded rod into the hole and grind flush.
