Longboarding Resources & Q/AGet or give friendly, patient answers to, "Which board should I get?", "How do I stop?" or "What's wedging and how do I do it?"
If you posted in the Pre-December 14th version, please re-do it in here since the original thread was lost.
This database is to compare the Dervish setups in an organized manor. If you are interested in this information for other decks, please feel free to use this format while creating a new thread. The deck is a control so it is not ideal to have multiple decks with various disciplines in the same database.
Please copy and paste the text below and add your setup!

Question:
I haven't used my Dervish for maybe over a month now. What should I do with it? Should I take the bearings off and try to clean it while its not being used? Im not using it right now because there's snow on the ground and when there's no snow, its muddy and wet and sometimes the ride is not very smooth since they put sand to melt the snow.
