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.

The deck in my quiver I always end up reaching for and never letting anyone borrow. A blast to ride for all disciplines. I love the Otangs...these have just the right give and will drift at will as well as stick. Mad props to Loaded.

I would recommend to someone who knows alot about how to maintain their board, because it really does require non-stop tweaking. However, once you get it all settled (I still haven't gotten mine settle after a month) you'll love it.
