Whirling Dervish

[@Jakub72]

My cousin showed me this video around 2007 right before letting me try his new Dervish. Practicing my balance on the carpet wasn't so bad... but I remember the moment that board was outside, one step was enough to launch me backwards laughing on the ground with a bleeding ankle. It was awesome. Eventually I saved enough for a Vanguard myself and would spend weeks awkwardly trying to learn how to even ride on this beautiful beast. That board has crossed continents, survived being run over, became completely soaked in a storm making it "sqweak", and left me with countless marks throughout my body from all the small rocks the wheels accidentally got stuck under. Among so many other adventures all Thanks to Adam² and the cheesy Longboarding Trick Tip videos you two would post on this website. I even still have my original Monster shirt (I think his name was Frank) that came with a free Loaded/Orangatang Sticker and DVD. It's hard to believe that so much time has gone by since then and that it also took me this long to leave a comment on the video that introduced me to this magical hobby. So as I stare at my Vanguard waiting to be riden once again... I just wanted to say Thank You Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski for leaving such a positive impact on so many fans such as myself. I know you had a gnarly accident awhile ago and hope the years have been kind to you ever since. It's nice to see that you're still posting videos at least.

I heard a song on another video tonight that reminded me of this song and found my way back here. What a wonderful time in my life it was when I first saw this, ran out bought a Dervish and felt like I was unlocking some sort of magic on it every day. That's what youth is all about. Thank you Adam.

[@WillBeebe]

Same! This ^ 100%

[@KinnNailchagette]

i totally in the same feeling now, came back home and watch the vid after hearing the music and reminded me of my longboarding times with my friends 10 years ago. very nostalgic.

[@tiagomateiro]

Watching after almost 15 years. Man, I'm old! 😅

[@gilbz92]

this video is a legend

[@ComplexCarlo]

What a monumental video that changed my life forever. Now about 8 years later I reminisce while watching, of all the good times and new friends I made and how drastic my life has changed since. Now almost 30, overweight, married with a child. I really wish I still had my Dancer, wow what a board that was. I always will have the first gen gopro footage that I can look back on, maybe when the baby gets bigger we can enjoy this together. Thanks Adams!

[@lessanjose]

never gets old. 100% flavor.

[@muzz3564]

Mr.Coulton is a star. Reading the comments I'm in the same boat. This video started me on the long board trip. Never looking back. Thanks Adam,keep up the good work!!

[@LoadedBoards]

Filmed it with a Panasonic PV-GS320 fairly cheap camera, edited with Final Cut Pro.

[@tetradodeca]

I wanna ride that hill so bad...It seems like a fun, never ending ride, and the scenery! gosh~

[@Quickslvr311]

I like this alot, good music choice and the scenery is beautiful. Your a great boarder too, keep up the good work.

[@Finkle0530]

I like the end! I feel like it was added to show that even the best at their craft can fall, you just keep getting up and go for it!

[@LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF]

They make it look so easy and smooth... wow

[@arubadub]

I love this movie, beautiful. I like the relaxed smooth movements instead of the fast sliders, i gotta go practice now....

[@PhilWilkinsonMusic]

looks like heaven to me!! Beautiful.!

[@eamonwitherspoon6304]

My mouth just dropped 30 seconds into this video. The style of riding is so raw, fresh, and pure. I am really just wordless. Longboarding can't get better than what you and I just saw so get while the herrings good!

[@code13bmb]

i watch this video like 3x a day now.....so amazing

[@misplacedaffection]

Those trucks are f'ing loose - you turn super-fast! Excellent vid.

[@MrWigglypiggly]

You guys are great at long boarding. I personally can't do one trick but I have fun what I do when I ride. This inspires me to try new things. But then reality comes along and I get cold feet. Great job guys.

[@mokomojoko]

wow this is very peaceful and a great influence for me you guyses are very good

[@Kitinetnies]

that new camera is really paying off, adam. you guys are the figureheads for a new trend in the world, so keep your heads about you. never forget the stoke.

[@megaoliwii]

despite how old this is its still one of the best videos if not the best ever made :D

[@ronstero]

AWESOME... anyone knows the name of the song? I would like to get it to my cel.

[@dvc1981]

I'm so in love with adam c.... he's the best

[@scoobysnacksgalore]

style is flawless

[@katherynne]

You can download that song && also the song used in the "Fly Loaded" video from the Loaded website. :)

[@C.dickson5]

the most incredible thing i've ever seen. unbelievable boarding.

[@N0b1s]

Damn.... such grace....

[@cmmoney]

i cannot get over how amazing this video is.

[@dgo1114]

it looks like such a peaceful ride

[@Sam_ware]

@ozzieruss01 Yeah, regular skateboards suck, but the use of different woods in the construction of the deck makes a big difference. Ive turned all my old snapped tailed skateboards into cruiser shortboards though, its great. No worries man, let me know if theres anything else you need to know, glad you find my advice helpful.

[@Bozol]

wuw! I was very happy when I saw there was a new adams video online! great succes! so nice!

[@Sam_ware]

@ozzieruss01 Definitely paris trucks, they come with better 90a stock bushings as well. But if you decide to get randals, go with the 42 degree baseplate and replace the stock 2.5 inch kingpin with a 2.75 inch one so it can take better bushings like venoms (most online stores should offer a kingpin replacement for a few extra bucks so dont worry) Or theres always the option of prandals - paris 180 mm hangar with a randal baseplate, if you can find somewhere to buy the parts seperately.

[@chocolategourmand]

super video, you guys make it look easy. I loved the bloopers at the end!

[@jbeck180]

possibly one of the best longboarding vids i have ever seen

[@CrazedSquirrel]

Most likely Northern Virginia. Adam S and Adam C are both from there. I live in Norhtern Virginia as well and this video looks a lot like the area.

[@dastimmeh292]

What tune is playing during this. its like the best song for this and this video is amazing

[@spartadj]

this is a priceless video

[@Magofunker]

Good job! Nice session!

[@Sam_ware]

@ozzieruss01 No worries man. Theres no telling how long a board will last really, it all depends on the quality of the deck and how well you treat it, and as long as you dont have too many curb smashing accidents or let your board get run over by a car, it should last a fairly long time. Avoid too much water getting on your board and keep it dry. When youre not using it, store it at a good temperature as too much boiling heat or freezing cold could warp the deck through time.

[@Sam_ware]

@ozzieruss01 Btw, I've had my dervish for half a year and its good. Its got a few scratches, but you cant prevent them when you ride so dont worry if you get them. Ive had to change the loaded griptape already, id recommend doing that shortly after you get the board. I bought a pair of bombsquad noseguards too, to protect the boards nose and tail, they work well but are a bit expensive. (in my last reply i put warp through time - warp just means it could damage it over time, not time travel :P)

[@MrEnviousMonster]

long boarding is so free that why i love it

[@RedMixedWithBlue]

the board dancing is almost hypnotic.

[@NeonAvantium]

wish there were smooth car free roads close to my house. just potholes or a bunch of cars. :p sweet boarding guys. and i love the boards to

[@noahpdillon]

tears. changed my life.

[@whoisadam]

[@Rafaeldardaque]

sick video guys, we always get some inspiration from your tricks on the ones we put in our videos nice moves, as always

[@cdemella]

that song was written by the most jam balls kid ever...a man who goes by the name of begin. know about him

[@WFUfandude]

i got a derv and they are the best for just rolling with frirends during the day and doing a little chopping the wood.......oh yeah

[@jayleniently]

sick boarding, as usual, and very realaxing to watch haha ;)

[@joesdmb]

that was sick, loved it

[@ThatSecondDude]

those are the coolest orange nikes i have seen in a while... im jelous

[@jeffnerohardy24]

@MrVigel oh wow.. wind......... noones ever felt wind with their shirts on before.

[@cleankiller9]

With all of loaded's popularity, Adam S. finally got some new shoes :P No really it reminds me of all the fun I had riding my vanguard(that I had to sell because the rent was comming up)with my buddy...good times Anyways I hope I can get my hands on a dervish next year and rip the hills once again.

[@deadlierchair]

Ah! Can someone post the artist and song title again? It's a wonderful fit.

[@PolymerPictures]

first off, nice video, killer board, love the last blooper. anyway, where is this video taken? it looks so peaceful and it has nice long, not to steep hills. Im stuck here in orange county...

[@Sam_ware]

@ozzieruss01 If you find a crack, make sure you know whats causing it so you can prevent it getting any bigger. I check my board regularly for cracks, just to be sure. Luckily ive never had one, but if you get one some strong wood glue should help fill it in. As for wheels, ive been riding a set of inheats for a few months and they still ride fine. I slide my wheels sometimes, but if you were sliding a lot itd be a good idea to replace your wheels often so they dont get coned and all roll funny.

[@DjBlake93]

i love my dervish, just did a 15ft slide on it today

[@nuclearsoysause]

which one, adam S. is using big zigs and adam C. is using some loaded prototpye wheel, as said in the very beginning of the video.

[@0mgi]

best fun guys! great video

[@code13bmb]

@timster1400 hell yeah those were kick ass

[@elpacotaco64]

those orange nikes are awesome

Love the video and I like how you show the bloopers in the end. Helmets should be worn :P

[@AltezzaDrifter]

those look like the emerica ellington's, man. i had those, pretty sick shoes.

[@NateDoe]

wondeful!

[@brutalback]

Same here. My Flex 5 Vanguard has been run over about, 5 times or so, still has a snap, but no nose or tail. Meh.

[@code13bmb]

@mdp311 no wait sorry got the songs mixed up this is Jam Balls by Begin. lol the other ones on another longboarding video i like

[@gjdemella]

he's my brothers friend, dave begin. he just wrote this song for the video

[@hspolomo18]

hey adam2- another awesome video, love it. learned a lot from it. what duro are the loaded proto wheels? they look great.

[@Samos12]

So sad that Adam and Adam stopped making these longboarding videos...

[@jackspessard6007]

the durians should be just fine i learned on durians 83a and they worked perfectly so im sure youre fine. but i wouldnt go with the 4pres just because the lip on them is not rounded so you would have to break it in first which could make it harder to learn on.

[@jkorte666]

im alrightt. i have a couple tricks up my sleeve haha this bored is awesome. i can take it pretty fast too,, like ive gone close to 40 on it with my trucks loose (randalls). it is nice to have a bored like this so i dont have to push my heavy evo around. hell yes it was worth the money this has to be one of the most fun, if not the most fun board around! YAH!

[@mdp311]

@code13bmb really? thanx man. cheers

[@FrothySpoons]

this is gona be my first longboard as well :P all i can do slidewise on a skateboard is bert and power but with a power slide i can go a good 8 feet on flat ground haha by turning 90 degrees sliding and then turning the rest O.o i cant w8 but i think its going to be here when im on a cruise which really sucks so i have to wait even longer

[@CaseCorso]

@MCBCCitizen Nah dude i think they probably would be fine to learn on. They probably would be perfect. Those or some otang 4pres. Good luck man

[@jziolk]

hey adam i am getting bigzigs, and would the vanguard be good with them 4 sliding, and would the dervish be able to fit smaller wheels then 70 mm, caus i dont think they do

[@Taschenko]

come to Spain Valencia i live in burjassot Valencia spain(world cup america) is a great very nice spot viktor taschenko

[@voodoochil3]

aj- get a sector nine bamboo series longboard with the lucky 9-ball 72mm wheels. thats my setup and it is extremely smooth, im not even 90 lbs tho.... lol so it mite vary

[@CaseCorso]

@MCBCCitizen I imagine they're pretty hard to slide. And extremely hard if you're gonna try to learn on. If you're just learning get some actual slide wheels. Abec 11 flashbacks, pink powerballs, metro motions, hesher snowballs, cult classics. Somethin like that.

[@rabidchipmunk2641]

Waht video camera and editing software did you use for this video? thank you
