If you have a bomb hills that you can get down easily on then why would you want to risk it on a dervish?

Absolutely not. The board will start vibrating at such a frequency that it will implode, creating a black hole. It will destroy the universe. Poor LHC didn't even get a chance....

That depends, what is your set up and are you any good? I've gone 30-35ish on mine with trucks loose as ... well you can imagine and super soft bushings.

Just keep the trucks nice and tight your first time and as long as you're decent you should be fine. If you can't speed check or footbrake at that speed you should work on that before you go that fast and put on a rubber, we don't want you crashing unprotected and little dervish demons being born.
