If you are looking for a Loaded dervish review which has something bad to say about the board you will very hard put to find it. Most of those who have tried riding have praised it for its handling, responsiveness, versatility and its extremely smooth ride.

The dervish, manufactured by Loaded Carving Systems, is made of flexible bamboo wood available in two flexes. Flex one boards are meant to accommodate persons weighing up to two hundred thirty pounds while the Flex two boards are meant for lighter riders weighing up to one hundred eighty pounds.

The board, when seen from the side is slightly convex to allow the board to flex with sufficient play without actually bottoming out the board. The board is a drop through deck, which means that the base plate used to attach the trucks is mounted on top of the board giving it a lower center of gravity.

The Loaded dervish deck is not shaped like your average longboard. It is carved on both ends, with the middle being thicker than the front or the back, the wheels are completely visible when standing on the deck. This makes it possible to make sharper turns than one could normally do with a skateboard without fear of the wheels dragging on the bottom of the board.

All these features combine to give a ride which most Loaded dervish reviews described as smooth and responsive. A lot of riders also raved about the flexibility of the board which allows one to compress the board when entering into turns and using the energy of the rebound to turn out of it resulting in no loss of speed when executing these maneuvers.

Loaded recommends this board for hills/ carving, sliding, bowl and dancing and while they recommend a stiffer board for more stability when going at high speeds, the board does keep its good handling characteristics in speeds reaching thirty miles per hour. The lack of a kicktail can make ollies a little more complicated than usual, but its ability to take sharp turns and coast longer makes this board an ideal mode of transport for short commutes.

This stable, agile and smooth deck is ideal for those who want a board which is capable of most nearly everything one can do on a longboard. Its stability and ability to take sharp turns also make this an ideal and forgiving platform for those who want to enter into the exciting world of longboarding.
