Default burton or oxgen?

soon to hit the slopes for my first ever week of riding. have had lessons
on a dry slope using my oxygen system 159 (guess about 4 or 5 years old).
have recently acquired a burton air 60 that's about 8 years old. both boards
appear to be in pretty good shape. which board should i take? won't be
hitting the pipes, just freeriding. any opinions valued.

The old Oxygen snowbaords were terrible. Heavy, stiff. Worst board
I've ever owned.

thanks for the replies guys. just had the burton waxed and edged so will
probably go with that one. don't think i'll be able to take both as there's
a 20kg limit for flights in the UK, well, there is with who we're booked
with. bag is heavy enough now without the rest of the gear i need to lob in!
