If you have your own setup in mind or have the necessary trucks, bushings, bearings and wheels already at hand then acquiring the Loaded dervish deck only will not only save you some money but will allow you the freedom and flexibility to try out different set ups which can suit the dervish to your riding style.

The Loaded Dervish is a longboard by Loaded Carving Systems, a USA company. The Loaded Dervish deck is made of a tri-axle fiberglass and epoxy sandwich with a vertically laminated bamboo core. This makes the dervish a board which is both flexible and durable. This flexibility is what contributes to its renowned smooth, agile, lively, responsive and stable ride. If you buy a Loaded Dervish deck only, without anything else, you can customize it later.

The Loaded Dervish deck is shaped in a convex camber which is flexible enough to be compressed when a rider applies his or her weight on it. The board springs back and returns the force that was applied on it when a rider straightens his or her legs and releases some of his or her weight from the board. This results in a livelier ride and little to no loss in forward momentum when carving or going in and out of turns.

The Loaded Dervish deck is available in two degrees of stiffness or flex to accommodate the different types of riders and their riding styles. Flex 1 boards are the stiffer of the two. Meant for people weighing up to two hundred thirty pounds, the Flex 1 board is also aimed at people who have a more aggressive style of riding. Flex 2 boards are meant for people who weigh up to one hundred eighty pounds or prefer a smoother more flowing type of ride.

The Dervish deck has cutouts meant to accommodate most drop through reverse kingpin trucks. This makes the deck ride closer to the ground, lowering its center of gravity. This results not only in added stability but in a board that is easy to push and to slide. With a board running low, there is always the risk of the deck biting onto the wheel when taking sharp turns. The dervish eliminates this possibility by shaping it so that the ends of the board are narrower than the middle of the deck.

As many riders will attest, the Dervish longboard deck is an exciting and fun to ride on. Experiment with different setups on your trucks, wheels, bearings or bushings to suit your riding style. This can all be customized for your Dervish Longboard deck.

While it is built to be extremely durable, a used loaded dervish will become more flexible as it is broken in. It is important to keep this in mind when choosing what type of Flex you want to get when acquiring a Loaded dervish.

The Loaded dervish is a longboard manufactured by Loaded Carving Systems in the United States. It is made of a tri-axle fiberglass and epoxy sandwich with a vertical laminated bamboo core. This is what gives the board its exceptional durability as well as maintaining a great balance between flexibility and stiffness. When seen from the side, the board has a convex shape which can be compressed when the rider applies his or her weight on it. The dervish has cutouts designed to accommodate most drop through reverse kingpin trucks, making it a board that has a lower center of gravity, making it a more stable platform and making it easier to push too.

This flexibility is also what gives the board its renowned ride. The dervish has been described as a smooth, lively, responsive and agile ride by those who have used it and has found to be a great board for carving and rolling down moderate hills, dancing, sliding, pumping, bowl, and for commuting. The convex and flexible shape allows energy applied to the board when going into turns to be returned as the rider straightens his body to get out of it. This results in little to no loss of forward momentum.

The problem with flexible boards is that boards which do not have the right combination of stiffness and flexibility will bottom out (the middle part of the board scrapes along the surface of the pavement) which can not only result in damage to the board but in loss of speed and control. The dervish minimizes this problem by giving the rider a choice between two degrees of flexibility.

The Flex 1 board is the stiffer board and meant for people weighing up to two hundred thirty pounds. It is also recommended for riders who favor a more aggressive riding style. The added stiffness allows for greater stability at higher speeds and makes tricks such as shovits and sliding easier to do.

The Flex 2 board on the other hand is designed for people weighing up to one hundred eighty pounds. If you prefer a smoother ride this board is for you. Ideal for commuting because of its softer, smoother ride, it is still possible to slide aggressively and do some old school tricks and big spins.

Manufactured by Loaded Carving Systems, the dervish is made of a tri-axle fiberglass and epoxy sandwich with a vertically laminated bamboo core.   This gives the board just the right amount of durability, flexibility and stiffness for dancing, pumping, riding bowl, or carving at your local hill.  The board is available in two different degrees of flexibility.  The Flex 1 dervish is the stiffer of the two decks and recommended for riders weighing up to two hundred thirty pounds or for those who prefer a stiffer ride.  The Flex 2 dervish is recommended for people weighing up to one hundred and eighty pounds.

The board itself is a work of art with graphics inspired by the smooth movements of the whirling dervishes from the Middle East.  The deck has cut outs that will accommodate any drop-through truck and is tapered at both ends to eliminate the possibility of the board biting into the wheels when taking a sharp corner or going into a slide.

The loaded dervish is renowned for its smooth, agile, lively and responsive ride among longboard circles.  This has primarily to do with its flexibility.  To give you an idea how it works, the board compresses into a concave shape when a rider’s actions and weight are applied on it when entering a turn.  When exiting the turn, the board rebounds, returning the force that was applied to it so that the rider suffers little to no loss in forward momentum.  Its smooth ride and ability to take sharp turns at moderate speeds also make it an ideal mode of transportation when taking short commutes around the neighborhood or crowded city streets.

Its low center of center of gravity (because of its drop-through trucks) and its flexibility have also made it known as a very stable deck ideal for moderate hills and carving.  While Loaded recommends a stiffer board when going down very steep hills (because flexible boards may not be as stable at high speeds) the dervish can be safely used for speeds up to thirty miles per hour.

A brand new Loaded dervish for sale may not exactly be cheap, but the cash you fork over for it will be repaid a dozen times over with years of great rides.
