Building a better Dervish

Doesn't the flex also make it more forgiving while doing these moves?

I say this because I've only tried these moves on my LY Dropspeed, which is wide and stiff, and it likes to dive right across the street as soon as you start to lean on the rail.

A set of bushings and/or some practice can resolve this issue.

This is like...either the strangest discourse I've seen in a long time or it's some crazy kaufman-esque sketch comedy routine.
If it's the later....do go on.

Ya it was the same prepubescent punks who always make SF less than it could be, that's why I stepped in and put them in their place.

It's no DH monster-cave, but it's much better than the Dervish.

Not at all MU... I make a completely rational and to the point recommendation and then Slide, the little bitch, sends me a message that I am preaching from what he calls my "High Horse". It has nothing to do with his dancing remark. That's all you saw. Then of course Neo, his little girlfriend comes in with nothing more than negative responses, and of course tries to pawn it off as the rest of SF are punks. He is worse than Slide. Neither have anything good to say and it shows in their other contributions to the community. Let's look at the track record of all that are involved and then make a decision here.

Oh well, this tread is done......

Opening poster: Make a new thread in the board building forum, which is the right place for a question like this. And you others ruining this thread: stay the hell away.

I'm sorry Blix, but I have to add in here that you do NOT step into a thread, try to start crap and fuel the flames cause you're obviously past puberty and smarter than the rest of silverfish, and then call moderators for help cause you can't handle the tiniest insults I've ever seen on this site. The LAST thing I want to do during finals week is see a reported post message in my inbox and open it to see this immature BS going on and hearing moderators don't do anything just cause you're whining about practically nothing. Not to mention, not a SINGLE one of your posts contributed positively to the thread and the original topic. If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
