and don't listen to someone who's only deck they've ever owned is a dervish (Ben). If you ever have time, come by my place and u can try out my boards. I have 2 drop thrus (dervish & hellcat), 1 topmount (killswitch), and 1 drop down (evo).

dervish is not a good freeride board imo. It is too narrow (actually depends on your shoe size. i'm an 11 and 10'' width is perfect for me), but since you're getting it from a trade, then there's really not much u can do about it because no one's gonna trade u any other board for a freebord. Dervish will be an awesome board to start out on but once u've ridden other boards, ur nvr gonna go bak to the dervish. Dervish is great for dancing and pop-up tricks.
If you have a strong street skating background, i recommend that u get a top mounted speedboard for dh. You will probably feel a lot more comfortable on them. Stability is really a matter of opinion. Some prefer top mounted, others prefer dropped.

a dropped board is when the standing platform is dropped. but a drop through just means your trucks are dropped through the deck.

Well I think ill take the dervish, id like to do a bit of free rideing anyway, plus the helmet will keep mum happy :-) and to be completly honest I payed 50$ for the freeboard so....SCORE... and seeing as I already have trucks and wheels's its easy enugh for me to save up a bit to buy a decent deck now...the omni was apelling due to its price and its a drop, I like drops....what's the diffrence in the ride between a drop and a drop though? Hellcats a drop though yes?
