dervish is a rad board, Sunday, 10 August 2008 Written by [Ian] - View all my reviews - Top 500 Reviewer
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: Almost a year, 10 months i thinkWhat is your setup like?: flex 2 with Paris 180s with randal yellow bushings and i was running lime bigzigs. Typical Session Discipline: hard carving, cruising, freeride, sliding. How much did you pay?: $240 Where did you purchase it?: Milehighskates.com What were the strengths of the deck.: It is a very fun board. The flex helps you push into carves and it pushes you right back out. it feels very similar to snowboarding and i love that about the board. I've taken it up to about 25mph and it felt solid. it's pumpable as well and pretty durable. What were the weaknesses?: The graphic is meh but i fixed it by going over it with a sharpie and its nice and vibrant now haha. Other than that the only weakness is loaded fanboys. Similar decks you have ridden?: nothing. The other loadeds might feel like it but i've only ridden a dervish. Would you recommend it?: Yes

Blows Other Boards Away, Saturday, 02 August 2008 Written by OvergrownJones - View all my reviews - Top 1000 Reviewer
I have noticed a little negativity towards Loaded becoming more mainstream, but it seems like that could only be a good thing. Owning this board has given me motivation to improve my own skills, and I think it could do the same for anyone else. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: a weekWhat is your setup like?: Flex 1 Paris 180 Red barrel bottom, Blue *itch top Orangatang In Heat Wheels (highly recommend) Typical Session Discipline: Carving hills as hard as possible How much did you pay?: 162 deck only Where did you purchase it?: skates on haight What were the strengths of the deck.: Amazing flex - unlike anything I've ever ridden. I weigh 240 lbs. and Flex 1 is perfect. I was a little apprehensive since I am over the suggested range, but the flex feels great. I have no worries of bottoming out while carving or even standing directly in the center. What were the weaknesses?: Well... I don't like the graphic, but I don't really care. It was kind of difficult to mount the baseplates - the holes seemed a little off? and pretty tight as well. The deck is slightly narrow for my size 13 feet, but I got used to it quickly. Similar decks you have ridden?: 42" Kracked Skulls Scimitar Would you recommend it?: Yes

Don't buy a vanny, Thursday, 31 July 2008 Written by drpepper - View all my reviews - Top 500 Reviewer
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: an afternoonWhat is your setup like?: flex 1 (86kg), gullwing chargers, pink powerballs Typical Session Discipline: cruising, carving, sliding, impressing the ladies How much did you pay?: $AU350 Where did you purchase it?: CRE8IVE SK8 What were the strengths of the deck.: amazing all rounder, its long enough for anything you have in mind yet manages to be really nimble. i'd say more nimble than my vanny flex 2... i could put that down to trucks but this is truly amazing. What were the weaknesses?: it doesn't wipe my ass or give me back rubs... no... but seriously... the flex is a little stiff. but that may because i've been on a vanny flex 2 for the last few months - mind you, i can still bottom it out on the carpet. i'd struggle to really find an issue... Similar decks you have ridden?: vanny flex 2 with paris... really not that similar... i think the pro41 (the old pro40) would be more similar, just in height wise and pushing ability. i'd go with this though if you're tossing up between the two... or go with the insect mosquito... i hear good things Would you recommend it?: Yes

The Loaded Dervish, Saturday, 19 July 2008 Written by d3mars5 - View all my reviews - Top 500 Reviewer
Flexdex pro 40 Loaded pintail gravity hypercarve This is the best one, aside from the mounting thing breaking, but that was taken care of with the updated dervish. GET THIS BOARD Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About 5 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Up until it broke: Gullwing Chargers 10" Bones Swiss Bearings Lemon Big Zigs 83a Typical Session Discipline: Carving, Cruising, Dancing How much did you pay?: 285..? Where did you purchase it?: Daddies Board Shop What were the strengths of the deck.: Super fun board, room for dancing, short enough for sliding, nice and wide for me (size 13 shoe), very good for pushing, low center of gravity, nice little nose and tail for shuvits and manuals and bigspins : ) What were the weaknesses?: There is only one, the dropthru design was not very durable, however this was supposedly fixed in the new model. Similar decks you have ridden?: Nothing like it. Would you recommend it?: Yes
