Drop-thru designed to accomodate the Randall R-II, Paris, Holey, Bear, Gullwing Charger and Tracker Fastrack Trucks. They all work well on this board, but we recommend using at least a 180mm wide truck.  

The Dervish is available in two flexes:

Flex 1: 170 lb / 77 Kg - 230 lbs / 104 Kg
Flex 2: 100 lb / 45 Kg - 180 lbs / 82 Kg

Keep in mind that a softer flex pattern will give you more control and tighter turns at a wide range of speeds, but tend to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. Stiffer flex means more energy potential and more stability at higher speeds, but will not be as forgiving and lively when cruising.

The board is designed for a centered, snowboard style stance. As you get comfortable at higher speeds learn to slide. It’s the safest way to slow down at high speeds and will increase your skills. Otherwise, feel free to ride the board however you please.

This is one of the best all around boards on the market today. It has a functional design so I feel like I can do almost anything. The Dervish carves like no other, the ride is like a dream, and it cuts through asphalt like a knife on butter (if that makes sense). Very groovy graphic on the bottom. Worth every penny! Buy one and you won't be disappointed.

The Dervish is a joy to ride in most all situations. I wouldn't go DH it on any steep hills but it will still hold its own on some hills, which equates to rider experience more than deck stability. It carves like a madman and is easy to slide with. The newer 09' graphic is nice and really sets the style of the deck off. Not that graphics make a deck, but hell I have to look at it, so it's nice to have a board that is aesthetically pleasing as well as a demon of a carver on the hills. This deck just does it for me. Ride it loose and ride it often. This puppy was is a stoke machine!

What were the strengths of the deck.: It's very well built and light weight. The flex is consistent and lively. There is a light concave that gives you great control of the deck in most all situations. It is very easy to throw sideways. Pushing and footbraking are very easy. It looks great.
What were the weaknesses?: The grip wears quickly, which is easily fixable with some viscous over top.

This is a very popular board. So if you're looking for something unique, look elsewhere. An easily lovable board.
