| Ive just bought a cheap Wild Duck Utopia to use on my local dry slope once or twice a week, but I don't know what I need to do to it to keep it in good condition, any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Stick it on the wall and don't use it 
Other than that, just wax it occasionally, depends on how much you ride it and where. Indoor snow seems to remove wax faster than anything (actually it's probably the dry snowflex on the the lift runs). There are instructions in the FAQ section I think. |

ohh yeah I didn't spot that thanks,
so should I wax it and un-sharpen the edges before using it? and how blunt should the edges be?
its for use on a out door dryslope thats not snowflex, the stuff with bristles and big gaps in the middle.
http://edge2edgeshop.co.uk/product/41/Dakine_Deluxe_Tune_Kit would this be worth getting? |
