My first longboard, VERY 'surfy'

**SmitZ** · 08-11-2009 03:21 PM

the last of the parts came in yesterday, I am really stoked about it!

Loaded Dervish (Flex 2)
Original S10 250mm trucks
Abec 11 Flywheels 97mm 72a Duro.
Bones Reds Ceramic Bearings.

When I first was throwing it together, I thought that I could use the S10s as drop through trucks, so I am now wishing I went with the Vanguard, but I am still REALLY happy with it! What do you guys think? Pics coming!

Flywheels and S10 trucks?
I can't even BEGIN to imagine how that rides o_o

The originals will make the board have stupid flex and the wheels will be hell to push. Or maybe it will be fun.....

**pPark** · 08-11-2009 03:29 PM

Wow.

I kind of want to see pictures.

that setup sounds like the FARTHEST thing from my mind when hear the term "surfy" the word morbid comes to mind though...

No wheelbite, yes? Pictures, please.

**SmitZ** · 08-11-2009 03:43 PM

Those trucks are AMAZING! and yes, 'SURFY' is the proper description. It feels exactly like I'm on the waves.

**lfatboy** · 08-11-2009 03:45 PM

I can't hate; that looks like a damn fun ride.

When you first posted, this came to mind:

No wheel bite at all, actually, with the trucks at max turn, I still have about an inch before I would hit.

i think this wins the "most interesting dervish setup ive ever seen" award

**Jailbot** · 08-11-2009 03:54 PM

looks like a mighty fine ride

Sir your setup is so utterly bizarre. Well done.

How do the S10's feel? I opted the for S8's. Is it a slow carve or can you still do 360's in a couple feet?

I have them set sooo damn loose that I trace circles around a man hole cover, I'll try and get a vid of it or something, would you guys be interested in seeing it in action?

I am also going to use it for some Colton / Stokowski dancing, might try and use the INSANE size of the trucks/wheels to my advantage. Haven't ever done dancing before, where should I start?

**Terrorsathan** · 08-11-2009 04:45 PM

ho-ly cr-ap... thing thing is a monster... be careful top mounting that thing.

**Cruzer** · 08-11-2009 05:20 PM

Dervish: $180
Original S10: $70
Bones Ceramics: $110
Flywheels: $100
Hardware: $10

your board looking like an fucking monster: Priceless

**cmarts** · 08-11-2009 05:38 PM

It's certainly more interesting then "check out my new dervish with my otangs and randalls"
looks like a pretty fun ride to tell the truth. id just want a bit of a smaller wheelbase

**Hot Wheels** · 08-11-2009 05:44 PM

Props man

most interesting longboard setup I have seen in awhile.
You've got imagination.

Those trucks are mounted topside to the bottom of a drop through? Wow! That's one I haven't seen yet!! Sheesh!

Different, in my book, just means different.

I can bolt spare tires all around my Mercedes and spray paint the whole thing orange and then glue 4000 upsidedown bottle caps all over it..

That's different too.
