The Bamboo Warrior,  Thursday, 27 November 2008 The Dervish is kind of 'fing amazing. But I'l be honest, I don't quite use it for it's purpose: dancing, and carving. I've recently become a huge DH enthusiast, and am totally aware that I should invest in a DH Deck, and am gradually opening people's eyes to the DH capabilities of a Dervish. Though I'm not sure how a Flex 2 handle's doing downhill due to the greater flex, but the Flex 1 works beautifully.

I've heard many people say that a dervish will start to get wobbles around 30mphish....honestly...Totally NOT true! last night I'd hit 42mph on a local hill with minor wobbles that weren't even worth nothing; keeping in mind that I was using Paris trucks, so I didn't necessarily have an upper hand or anything, and I ride my trucks quite loose. The one and ONLY problem that I have doing higher speeds is that when you hit bumps, unlike most stiffer decks where it's the bump that's the problem, on a Dervish it's more of the bounce that the bump produces afterwards....you have to catch yourself and prepare for the whiplash/bounce on occasion. Adam Colton has also recently started doing DH events with the Dervish I believe and Louis Polloni too...Dervish is taking over kids!....might be a bit optomistic there, but it's a nice idea. *two thumbs up*
