Loaded Dervish Longboard

August 27, 2009, 11:46 am

Carve and skid through huge, swooping arcs on pavement with the Loaded Dervish Longboard, a unique ride built from fast-growing bamboo. The board is cambered from tip to tail, and its wheels are completely visible when standing on the deck. It has top-mounted trucks.

All this equals a ride with a lower center of gravity and more control, according to the company. As an additional eco bonus, Loaded Boards Inc. employs a non-toxic proprietary epoxy to make its boards even more responsible products. Loaded Boards Inc.‘s Dervish Longboard costs $315. www.loadedboards.com

This longboard is sick. I love how the trucks are mounted on top od the board.

This is a brilliant longboard. Best set up in my opinion is Premium 3: Paris 180’s Raw with Abec11 76mm Gumballs. The Paris trucks are the best.

I have one of these and can honestly say it is the most fun of my 5 boards. Really easy to learn on, but also able to shred!

You’re looking at about $321 if you want the optimal setup Loaded offers. I wouldn’t suggest that kind of investment for a beginner who isn’t %100 sure that they’re going to spend some serious time on their new board. I would point a new boarder toward a cheaper board from Gravity Boards or some such. Don’t go for anything <$115 or you’re sacrificing needed quality. Upgrade to the loaded Dervish for your second board once you get a feel for longboarding to establish what you actually want in a board. You may find that the Dervish’s shape isn’t really what you’re looking for.
