Official Loaded Dervish Setup Database v2.0

[em2_walsh]

Flex: Flex 1
Trucks: Paris 180mm (Black Hangar)
Bushings: Stock Red top, Blue Khiro Barrel bottom (the blue khiro top is too small for the kingpin)
Risers: Cut up Shock Pad
Wheels : 84a Gumballs
Bearings: Bones Reds and FKD Sawblades (can't decide which is better)
Riding Style : D) All of the above
Riding Terrain : Outside
Miscellaneous: I ordered a Flex 2 but Stoked sent me a Flex 1, and it's currently a Saturday so I looks like I'm "stuck" with this Dervish until at least Monday. I'm debating whether or not I can go without it for a few days... probably not. Only problem I'm having is that I weigh in at 140 and I have paris trucks (which shorten the wheelbase, thus stiffening the board) so it's currently much stiffer than I desire it to be, but it's still awesome enough to make me not want to be without it. (sorry for the rambling)

Does anyone know an easy way to solve the problem with the bushings? New Kingpin? or just put a barrel on top too?

Hey everyone I am new here and i bought my Dervish 3 weeks ago. I bought it because I was riding some of my friends longboards around and i decided to get one. they are just too much fun!

Anyway, I'm pretty noob at riding and I just use it to ride around the city and sometimes small hills and rarely I go to parking garages. Anyway, the main thing I do is just ride it around.

What would be the best kind of wheels to get? Right now the stock wheels the shop gave me were 70mm 75a sector nines. Would big wheels be alright? What is the biggest wheels I can get for it without "wheelbite" and stuff? Right now i have randal rII trucks if, if that helps any. And I like going fast on flatlands.

EDIT: By the way, the skate shop that is closest to me mainly just carries the Seismic brand wheels. They're pretty expensive, are they worth the price?

EDITEDIT: The skate shop is mainly a skateboard shop. Are longboard bearings and skateboard bearings the same thing? What kind og bearings do you guys recommend?

[jkizzle3993]

for bearings go with bones reds. cheap and last forever. ive had mine for over two years, never had to clean em and they run amazing

Miscellaneous:
Question for you guys with Paris 180s. Have you ridden the RII's on the Dervish? How do the trucks compare? Would it still be much carvier on Paris' even though I've swapped out the bushings on the Randals? Thanks for the help ya'll!

[Hot Wheels]

I second the Bones Red's recommendation, great bearings for the price.


As far as Paris vs Randalls, that topic has been discussed to
the inth degree on here. They are both really good carvy trucks,
I think what makes the difference is what bushings you use
and how loose you have em, and how you skate.

I'm trying to make my dervish as low as possible and trucks have a big part in this, so...What trucks would lower the dervish? I'm assuming something with the hangers flipped. Thanks.

[Cheefa]

Indy 215's will make it low as ####, but it will ride really awful IMO

[Cheefa]

can a mod please sticky this thread, I typed "dervish" into the search function and this didn't even come up on the 1st page

[th13rteen]

Thats not how the new ones look like

so there must the 'new' and the 'new 2' cut outs as that one is wildly different and much longer compared to my 'new' cutout shape.

IUAM considering what were paying for our dervs Loaded ought to offer a selection of cutout shapes - along with the flexes - from the fits all cut-out to specific one truck design only.
