My opinion: I'm not a huge fan of either, get something a little more exotic - something a bit different. However out of those two evo>dervish

The Evo is a big tank that doesn't make a good freeride board and the Dervish is too flexy to feel good at serious downhill. Why not get something in between? There's plenty of downhill decks that are smaller, lighter, and less aggressively wedged than and Evo - they'll be just as good at downhill, but can also double as a freeride/cruiser deck.

Go local with an FSU or Glyde, then its all up to your bushings and more practice.

This is like asking, "should I buy a car or a razor scooter". It's a really stupid question and deserves a really stupid answer.

Buy a duck. There we go.

personally i would say neither out of that list, if you want to go half way, Omni drop 43, Landy chinook (if you want the brand name) or any other still landy twin tip

Well said Dani, totally different boards.

Dervish is one of the best carvers, Evo is one of the best DHers.

Maybe get something more inbetween, like Merrick, I have the Hellcat oh nine. Love it. It can certainly turn hard, it's stable and it's good for slides (better than my old one).

Or go for a OMNI DH or something, they're cheap and really good.
