Silverfish Longboarding - The Longboard Skateboard Community

Newsflash

The Bennett "lockerboard" was scootin' around the Crossroads show recently and Mr. Bennett called to say they're out on the market now in a limited run of hand-screened, numbered completes. We're stoked to see the little, rockered deck out there!

They've got the hook-hole in the nose, wheelwells that match perfectly when you crank'em over to turn the way Bennetts do and 'gators on the 4.3's. They're at TailTap.com.

If you want a carver/dancer/slider all in one, i havent ridden anything better and more versitile than the dervish. its super carvy/responsive, you can trick on it fine, and its low so easy to push/slide, andddd its prettyyyy. if u dont mind a weaker flex in a year or so then totally consider the dervish. i quite like it. =D

Otang 4Prez 80a (orange)
Biltin abec 7
Typical Session Discipline: Dance, carve, slide
How much did you pay?: $235 for just deck
Where did you purchase it?: Boardshop Australia
What were the strengths of the deck.: It carves super super hard, is low (drop-thru) so its easy to slide and push, and theres plenty of room for dancing. i dig the flex, (2) its good for everyything, except dh and speed though.
What were the weaknesses?: The flex gets soggy with time, but i cant see that being too much of a problem unless you weigh alot and will bottom out. but ud have to be pretty hard on it for that. ive ridden one like this and i personally wouldnt mind, its that awesome of a board that you wouldnt care.

Good truck, I would fully reccommend them. You hear people saying theyre not as stable as Randals, but I don't think so, at all. They feel super good, really solid, not cheap, and theyre well constructed.
