58kg, dervish, what stuff?

[j.greent]

hi,

atm i am really confused after reading all the threads so i have started my own,
so far i have decided:

- Dervish - What flex should i get? (58Kg)
- Paris Trucks - Raw base and black hanger
- Wheels - I am between the stimulus and durian 83a and 86a (although i like the yellow colour)
- Bushings? i have the choice of all kairos and venoms (stoked skateboards.com)
- Gonna get reds bearings

I am like the usual dervish wanter, but ill put my preferences in order from most like doing to least

1. Sliding
2. freeride tricks (tiger claw etc...)
3. Carving
4. Pumping
Dont like DH (sorry downhill riders)

In a perfect world i would get the 86a durians and have a set of bushings which will allow me to slide easily when i want but keep some grip for carving/pumping (don't we all?)

Thanks to those who answer,
Jake

2 yellow venom barrels. you are a lighter guy so this will fit better. in fact the reds might be a bit too hard, you could probably do all yellow (85a) bushings.

I weigh 145 and ride a Flex 2 with Paris 180s and Yellow Venom bushings. I have the purple 83a Stimulus. It's a carving, sliding monster. No hill is too big and no flat is boring.
