Picked up a Loaded Dervish yesterday and I’m reading to shred all summer now.
Mini Review: The best set up anyone could ask for, I wouldn’t waste your time on anything else. The Flex 2 is just so smooth, jumping in/out of turns with no effort, along with holding its edge all the way through the radius. It has the perfect amount of bounce and pop, and does it consistently. The Orangatang Stimulus (70mm) wheels are super grippy, but will break away at the right time to give a nice swish through a turn. Other than the deck, the Paris 150 trucks are what make the board. If anyone has the option between 180mm and 150mm trucks, go with the 150′s. They are much more responsive, getting over from one side to the other so quick it’ll take some getting use to. I didn’t think the 30mm difference would be enough to notice, but side by side, its night and day.
I love how the Ocean Wave blends so nicely with the bottom graphic, and how it pops off the dark purple wheels.
