Reviews from 
amazing longboard would recommend to anybody, well worth the price for the quality and the ride. take care of the board and will last forever. flex one is great for a 220lb man, i can just kill it on this board
no board ive stepped on has had such a nice feel. riding it just feels right, its low to the ground, flexy. it just feels right, under your feet. you feel like you own the board like youve got complete control. i think theyre gorgeous too.
now that i have progressed in longboarding i might look ito a better all around board like the rayne vendetta, comet fsm, or landy 925
Amazing board so far its got alot of life in it and i plan to run it till its broke or
all around great board. i recommend it to anybody looking for a great all-around and durable board
The board is slot of fun. I have rodden both a flex 1 and flex 2 and The flex is really important. If you are under 150 get a flex 2. If you are over 150 get a flex 1. I weight 110 and the flex 1 is no fun because it is not as lively of a ride as the flex 2. Bottom line is the board is slot of fun, durable, and a great everything board... Just get it

Description
The Bamboo Loaded Dervish longboard skateboard is a great all round cruising machine. It's 41.5" long and 8.5" wide with a 33" wheelsbase. There is plenty of room for error on the Loaded Dervish. Longboarders from beginners to advanced rank the Dervish the #1 longboard. Check out the drop-through design. Loaded has thought of everything. Lower to the ground than most longboards, the dervish is great long distance pumping and pushing longboard with added stability. The soft and smooth ride of the Loaded Dervish is a made possible by its construction of Epoxy and Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core. In short, this board is light weight, flexible, and as strong as steel. The Loaded Dervish will not let you down.
It's easy to explain why the Loaded Dervish is a Best Seller: the Dervish is flexible and fun to ride for all riders of all different skill levels. Beginners find the Dervish easy to ride because the torsional flex allows for easy maneuvering and bounce back to center when you need it most in sharp cornering (what you need for stability). Advanced riders enjoy the added features like an extended nose and tail for flip tricks. This longboard deck can withstand excess weight loads especially from ariel maneuvers.
You should try the Loaded Dervish with 180 Randal trucks, Bear 852, or Paris 180mm longboard trucks. For good traction while cruising hills you should try the 75mm Orangatang In Heat longboard wheels or Retro Big Zig Reflex formula longboard wheels. For Free Riding and slides taste some 75mm Orangatang Durians. They're pretty sweet.
It's important to know that the Dervish will soften in time, therefore, you should over estimate your desired flex.
Flex 1: for those OVER 150 lbs
Flex 2: for those UNDER 150 lbs
We don't want you to just buy another one just because you think that it is too soft for you after a 1 year. We want you to save your money for Loaded's new Tan Tien longboard deck coming out soon. Also, the a stronger flex will resist stress cracks and sheering of the bamboo after millions of Tiger Claws and Acid Drops off the hood of your buddy's SUV.
For better performance and control, try the following Khiro and Venom longboard bushing upgrades:
50-100lbs 73-80a Durometer
75-125lbs 78-82a Durometer
100-145lbs 80-85a Durometer
125-175lbs 80-87a Durometer
145-195lbs 82-90a Durometer
175-220lbs 85-93a Durometer
200-250lbs 90-93a Durometer
225lbs+ 90-97a Durometer
Remember, one complete Dervish needs 2 packs of Venom bushings.

Loaded's Description
The Loaded Dervish symmetrical nose and tail design gives the dervish a dancer type feel. Vertical Laminated Bamboo technology gives the Loaded Dervish a rebounding feel of flexibility like no other longboard in the industry.
With a lower center of gravity and a torsionally stiff design, the Dervishes are built to hold an edge and maximize energy return.
A drop-thru carver designed to work with most reverse kingpin geometry trucks and 70mm+ wheels. Has a small nose and tail for manual and shovit tricks.
Wheelbase: 33 inches
Epoxy and Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich a vert-lam Bamboo core, pressed into concave and convex cambers for liveliness, responsiveness and high energy potential.
Keep in mind that a softer flex pattern will give you more control and tighter turns at a wide range of speeds, but tend to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. Stiffer flex means more energy potential and more stability at higher speeds, but will not be as forgiving and lively when cruising.
A drop-thru carver designed to work with most reverse kingpin geometry trucks (Randal R-II, Paris, Holey, Bear, Gullwing Charger and Tracker Fastrack) and 70mm+ wheels. Small nose and tail for manual and shovits.
And here's what Adam Colton has to say about the new graphic -
Flown in from outer space in our new eco friendly veggie spacecraft is the fresh NEW Dervish Graphic. Besides being flown in on a spacecraft we are happy to announce the new Dervish graphic was printed using a much more environmentally friendly printing technique which gives the print greater depth. We are excited to explore and build upon this technique more the future.
WOW, what a surprise! You probably did not see it coming and neither did we. Well, actually we saw it coming but wanted to keep it a surprise. If you look closely at the graphic it incorporates the same mystical vibe and some of the design elements from the old graphic but is much cleaner. The flowing lines running across the middle of the deck, hmmm what are those? Well, folks that right there is an elephant balancing on an umbrella. Do you see it? Actually it's the flowing gown of a Whirling Dervish spinning. Check out this video to see what I am talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnunfciSr7k
Inspired by ancient Persian Islamic art, we've named this board the "Dervish" as a reference to the Whirling Dervishes. A sub-sect of Sufism (Mystical Islam), the Dervishes are famous for their ritual whirling dances, an aerobic flowing movement designed to produce spiritual ecstasy (and deep carves).
