| I use this board mostly for downhill longboarding which has worked out fantastically! This board is also good for cruising and pumping. The only issues i have had with purchasing this board are the bearings. I bought the board believing that the price was better with the same quality of product, but i found out within a week why it was so much cheaper the stock bearings that came with the board were absolute junk!!!! |

| I'm relatively new to longboarding and bought this board after trying a friend's. I love carving down parking garages and roads that arent too seep and the board performs great. I got the flex 2... the springiness and stability enable me to jump into various foot positions very easily. I'm just learning to slide and the board performs very well for that. One drawback i've noticed is that it seems a bit unstable the faster i go (30mph plus) this is where the board's springiness seems more a hinderence. Basically, as an older guy just getting back to skating, i love my Dervish! |

| I was a Sector kid till i road the Vanguard, liked it, but it was a little tall for my tastes. I decided the Dervish would be worth a try. I've ridden alot of boards, but this board sets no limits.
Whether kook or klutz, this boards fun to carve, cruise, bomb, or dance. |

| I have only been riding for a couple weeks now but i used to ride when i was younger. I rode skateboards but i didnt like them. About a month ago my friend got a Dervish and let me ride it and for just starting back up i caught on really fast. It is a perfect board for anyone. |

| Bought this board as a gift for my buddy after we rode demo boards in Cali, my only regret is that I didn't buy one for myself as well, that changes today! We're casual riders, so I can't speak to much past that, but this board is awesome for our use. Oh and we are both bigger guys, board holds up just fine. |

| Customer Rating - 5 stars - Best Board Ive ridden so far! |
| Review Date 2010-04-20 - Helpfulvotes 8 - Unhelpfulvotes 1 - Verfied Buyer? Yes - |
| I have a couple guy friends with the Dervish i met & they're pretty pro at it & at the time ive been riding a skateboard for the last 2 years but was never satisfied.Ive never ridden a longboard like a Dervish the flex is insanely wonderful & im still capable to land tricks on it instead of just "cruise" around.it great to dodge people too!it carves pretty great.Id reccomend it whether its your first board or if your an advanced rider.One thing that bugs me is that everytime i kick the tail down to do a trick its starting to crack open already and chip,etc...& ive only had it for about 2weeks...ill probably buy a nose gaurd but hey it gives the board character and either way what board wont start to chip.Either way i wouldnt offer any other board then the dervish or any other Loaded board, you'll never ride a board oh so good. :]just invest in a nosegaurd and you good for life!you WONT regret this board! |

| Just got it a few days ago, but this is by far the best board I've ever ridden. Granted, I haven't been around the longboard scene for a long time, but I know enough. This thing carves like a dream, and is silky smooth. I got mine flex 2 with Otang Durians, Abec 5 bearings, and Charger trucks. It is incredibly flexy, and can maneuver around with great ease. Incredible board! |

| This board is better than I hoped it would be. It is so fast and so ridiculously smooth. I get so many looks when I'm riding on it because of the drop through trucks and the purple wheels. It is a very sexy board and well worth the money spent.[...] |

| its by far the BEST board i've ever been on. its smooth and very easy to fall in love with. i've been riding it everyday since ive gotten it. they only way i can put it, is riding the loaded dervish is like riding on a cloud. its worth every cent you put in it. i recommended this to all my fiends everyone s getting one. its that powerful. smooth turns,very flexible, lightweight, and once you hit 30-35 mph the rush is out of this world. everyone needs this im not even kidding. PLEASE: USE YOUR SAFETY GEAR WITH ANY BOARD YOU GET, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE. AS LAME AS IT MIGHT LOOK, IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. |

| I use this board for just about everything, whether it's for getting to class quickly or powersliding with friends or bombing hills, this board can handle almost anything. It's unbelievably maneuverable and can turn on a dime. The board can take a beating aswell considering it's been run over by a car twice and still works like a champ. I've tried other boards and simply put, nothing else comes close to the dervish.
The only downside is that it gets speed wobbles at higher speeds but this board isn't meant for bombing large hills in the first place so it's not a big deal.
Great board and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into longboarding or those who already longboard. |

| I use my dervish as a daily commuter to work during the week, and then on weekends skate down carparks on it with mates.It's pretty light, has a nice spring to it, quiet and doesn't vibrate much on rough surfaces, so ideal for long distances & messing around.I got mine painted up by a local artist.. awesome size to give them something to play with.

| W/Paris/Orangs one of the best setups you can get. I would recommend the 1 flex for anyone that isn't a young kid or really lightweight. The nose is a little brittle would like to get some sort of noseguard |

| This is my 3rd longboard and I use this one primarily to trick/slide with. I've definitely turned some heads with its design. I ride it very loosely which is great because it carves with ease. I even had a friend jump in the middle of the board to see if it would last. The board bottomed out on the street and went back up without a scratch to all of our astonishment so go ahead and tear stuff up. |

| An amazing board for the price,I got this as my first board and I like it alot,but before the Dervish I also have ridden other boards. The flex is amazing,carves great also. Be careful if you decide to bail because if the board runs into a curb you could crack it which would suck. The graphics are pretty cool,great for sliding also. If you decide to buy this board I am sure that you will love it. |

| So I have been longboarding for going on three years now and had never stepped on a board before that. The first board I bought was a sector 9 sidewinder with double kingpin gullwing trucks. That board could carve! As awesome as this board is, the Flex 2 Dervish will literally ride circles around it. With Randall R-2 180mm trucks you can throw yourself into any turn and stay in control. There is just so much leverage with this board! Prior to riding this board the only slides I had done were usually unintentional and uncontrolled, but after about 3 weeks of riding the Dervish I feel comfortable busting out some fresh Coleman slides, 180's and drifts etc.. I ordered Bones Swiss Labyrinth bearing just to make the board ride supreme and IT DOES! even an inexperienced carver will be pumping his way up and down the block with ease as the flex in the deck transfers most of your energy to the road so you will be zipping past mofos in no time. This board really doesn't have any limitations besides your imagination, but if i had to slap on a negative to this board it would be the vulnerable nose and tail with can smack a curb if your not very sure-footed. At the end of the day I am entirely satisfied with the custom complete Flex 2 Dervish. The price may be steeper than alot of other boards but ultimately the quality and serenity of the riding experience makes it worth the price of admission! |

| The board is the most amazing longboard i have ever ridden. I just purchased the flex 2 with paris adam c 180 trucks and the 75mm Orangatang Inheats in purple. I absolutely love the loaded dervish. It's great for just some casual pushing, sliding, a little downhill (although it will lose stability at about 30) and just all around fun! It made my day! Also, Skates on Haight did a wonderful job with delivery. The Dervish came assembled and ready to go with no scratches or problems with the parts, [...] |

| This board is great for cruising around as well as any kind of tricks you wanna do. If you are interested in doing tricks then you should probably get the flex one even if you weigh less than 175, as the flex one is more durable. One thing I dislike about this board is the spray on grip tape it comes with. I would recommend once having the board broken in and whatnot then sand off the spray on grip and put on regular grip tape. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that will show you how to do this with this board specifically so it should be no problem. All in all this is a fantastic board and I recommend it to anyone who loves longboarding! |

| Great board! I use it to all my lectures everyday, love it! One bad thing though is that they didn't put washers in between the truck and the nuts, so my board has a small dent from the nuts, I ended up buying the washers myself. Other than that, great board, recommended! |
