dervish isn't intended for DH :P do you have flex 1 or 2?

[Sirdoman]

Loose trucks may save lives, but there is a point where you want some resistance. I recommend tightening your trucks to the point where everything is nicely sandwiched together, with no play in the bushings, but loose enough to turn.

You'll notice that you'll get more power in your pumping if you tighten them a little, and a LOT more stability.

okay cooool. man that's fast for a dervish lol. but i'll be using randals 180s. but i usually ride my trucks realllyyyyy looooose, to the point where if you tap my trucks, they'll shake haha. and i've gone like 25 max with those loose trucks and have never tightened them before.

[Sirdoman]

probably around the upper 40's. but it's really not the board that can't handle the speed, it's the rider. also, what trucks are you planning on using? I used Crails, which are very stable.

[yootoobur101]

lol but how many mph? 35ish max? cuz i wanna start doing a bit of downhill on my dervish but i don't know how fast it could handle haha

enough to get my heart beating!
