City Skateboards Review
The Loaded Dervish is a longboard made of flexible bamboo wood. Loaded Dervish longboards are similar to skateboards but are generally longer and larger and often used for transportation, or longboarding which may include cruising, downhill racing, slalom racing and tricks. Longboarding has many parallels with surfing and in fact has often been described as surfing on concrete.
A Loaded Dervish Longboard is manufactured by Loaded Carving Systems, the loaded dervish is a carved board measuring about one hundred and five centimeters long (about forty-two inches) and twenty one and a half centimeters wide (eight and a half inches). It has a wheel base of about eighty-four centimeters (thirty-three inches) and weighs about eight pounds when the trucks and wheels are attached. The board is decorated with Persian-Islamic flourishes and designs said to be inspired by the “whirling dervishes”, an order of Muslims who are best known for their practice of whirling as a means of worship and remembrance of the their god.
It is also what is called a drop-through deck which means that the board has holes in it allowing the base of the truck mounting hardware to be placed on top of the board. This allows for a lower ride height resulting in greater stability without loss of responsiveness to turning.
When looked at from the side, the dervish board is convex in shape and is designed to flex when the rider mounts the board or shifts his or her weight around to execute maneuvers or tricks. This flexibility is meant to allow the rider more control over the board and allow for tighter turns when travelling at slower speeds. It is also meant to make maneuvers such as slides easier to execute. While a stiffer board is more ideal for faster speeds, Loaded maintains that the board can be used in speeds of up to fifty kilometers per hour. The dervish is available in two “flex” settings. The stiffer board (called Flex 1) is meant to accommodate people weighing one hundred seventy to two hundred thirty pounds. Lighter users may also use the stiffer boards should they want more stability at higher speeds. The Flex 2 board is meant to be used by people weighing one hundred to one hundred eighty pounds.
Because of its flexibility, low ride height and ability to make tight turns, the dervish is ideal for negotiating curved roads and avoiding obstacles when using it as a means of transport within the city and for longboarding events such as hills carving, dancing and sliding.

Bomb Factory Skateboard or Powell?
Is it good? I can’t seem to find any reviews on this brand! I work at Circuit City and we get “points” for selling stuff and with the points we can buy things… The two skate boards I can choose from are Bomb Factory Metal Pro Complete Skateboard and Powell Golden Running Dragon Complete Skateboard Maple and I kinda want to get it for my fiance because he lost his. I just want to know the gist on it, if it’s reliable, fun, or whatever.
If not, let me in on some good, inexpensive ones!
Thanks!!!
I’ve never heard of Bomb Factory skateboards. The Powell Golden Dragon series of boards is a line of completes aimed at entry level skaters who want a better choice than what is available from mass retailers. I don’t know what your fiance’s setup was that he lost, but you may want to consider buying a blank or shop board from a skateshop and using the points for something else; especially if he is anything more than a very casual skater, or skates vert, pools or bowls.
