I would usually say just ride the thing, but as you have an old board can't see why you wouldn't just use that as a rock/dry slope board. But i know the waiting to try out new kit can be excruciating  |

| Yes mate, as with all things, softer items will subsequently wear quicker etc. Extruded bases are more prone to getting gouges etc, so you will find that it will be less durable on dry slope for certain. Keep it nice for the mountain, then when you're back there's nowt stopping you really. I would personally keep one for dry slope, and one for mountain though if you have both still. |

| I would have said a bit of both really. The sintered base will be harder and more durable however, so would be a factor. My advice is simply don't risk your new board, go with the old one or rent. It wont feel anywhere near the same on the dry anyway! |

| I simply wouldn't use my own board on dry slope whatever. I would avoid using your new board on there anyway mate, no matter what the base is, you'd be devastated if anything were to happen to it. |
