I am so confused. I see quickreleases.
What? Adjustable angles?

It's like cutting off your penis, and then attaching Robocop's penis to the bloody stump. I love it.

[m-tron]

Your own Fathom...nice.

Fathom

You've put good use to that cracked Dervish. Tell us how it rides.

[mbease]

now that's creative. I don't know which I'd want to try out first!
I'm loving the addition to the griptape too. that's really sweet.

Haha still got that khiro sticker on there I see.

so is it stiff now?

Robocop.....LOL!

This thing rides awesome. Think almost exact height and wheelbase of a Dervish, with no ability to nose manual, but the added ability to bomb and drift big hills on a moments notice. This thing still feels like a Dervish even after the reshaping and redrilling. I am using 150's on it right now, but I am going to swap to 180's the next chance I get. I rode it tonight and was busting sick drifts and s-carves on a large hill in my n'hood. Pumping is not a problem because it is technically a top mounted deck. The brackets take over the stress load that was on the cut-outs before.

A lot of us already thought that the Dervish was the best "all around" deck out there. This steps that idea up a notch. Adjustable camber on a deck that couldn't be truly wedged.

And it just looks sick...


Robocop....... hehe...

Steve Austin, is more like it.

Another picture for those of you that didn't look at the site:

That depends on whether you asked me before or after my evening session.

It feels like a Flex 1 Dervish, no difference. At least not the way that I shaped it.

The funny thing is that loaded refuses to release this thing...they've been toying around with it for the past few years. How long did that take you? 30 minutes to saw off and drill? Lol.


Fathom mmmm....


How much do the brackets cost by themselves?

[arcane]

Adjustable Dervish, I love it. Nice work.

I didn't even know that Loaded was working on that. G-Bomb markets the brackets and a full deck to go with it. It was a little floppy for me, so this is the perfect solution. I hope this sells a bunch of brackets for Mark over at G-Bomb. I am pretty sure it will....

Yup, I have been feeding Mark a ton of email on the original setup, however, I think I like this a little better. The Cambiar focuses on a lot of fun in a small package. At 6ft, 206 lbs, I needed a little more deck space to do drop knee drifting.

I believe Mark over at G-Bomb said $75, but I could be mistaken. I will check with him on the price.

If anyone wants it, I can offer shaping and re-drilling services for this one. If you have a cracking Dervish, this is a great modification.

these look just like Loaded's current prototype

[Camel]

Amazing that popped out of my head isn't it. I haven't even seen pics of the "Fathom". Today is the first I have heard. The Cambiar was the first that I saw these brackets on.

I wish I could design boards for Loaded. What a cool job.

Where did you get the Brackets?
