Like many of you, it was this beautiful 240p video that made me buy a longboard. The freedom, the fluidity and the plain fun of it all was what kept me inspired and hooked. No competition, no pressure to go as fast as you can, no restrictions what you can and can't do. Sliding long and going fast is great, but there's never gonna be anything like the whirling dervish spirit. I love you Adam Squared, you guys are my heroes.

It's a shame that Adam doesn't skate but those two were the best dancers and we should appreciate their contribution to the sport :D

Wow. Looking back in 2021. This video inspired a whole generation of longboarders, myself included, and was the basically genesis of dancing, freestyle, and free riding.

The nostalgia is real.

It's like Disneyland. The magic never goes away. No matter how many times you've seen it..

2021 and still come back to this video once in a while to get all the feels!

Bought a dervish in 2011 after watching this vid. Can’t tell you how many unforgettable experiences I had with it as a junior in high school. This thing ferried my car-less butt to and from home, local landmarks, school, school dances, girls houses (lol), the beach, really just the best tempo to enjoy life at at that age for me. I still have it, cracked nose and tail and all. Wish the originals were still made.

I bought my dervish with 13/14 yo and this video was one reason , now i have 23 and gave me some nostalgia. Nowdays i keep carving the island.

Coming back to this in 2020. Never stop doing what you love my people :)

Thank you for making longboarding a wonderful part of my teenage years, this video matters

14 years later, i'm still here. You both made my friend and I buy this 14 years ago. We didn't have much money, basically we had money to afford orangatang wheels.. Hahahahaha ABEC 11 bearing.. and that's it.. thank you again for this wonderful video.

Coming back here after 13 years and reading these comments brought me tears of joy, I can't believe so many others had the same experience as me from this video. Thank you Loaded for inspiring so many to get out there and conquer the hills.

And to think 7 years later I still ride my Dervish just about everyday I can.

2024 checking in! The music, the landscape, the flow, it's still so good. Adam and Adam painted this picture of a mystical land of green hills and sunshine and endless smooth pavement. See you all again when I stumble upon this in another 10 years.

The tune is the sound of my heartbeat since 08' when I first started my board collection. The Sector 9 "Cloud 9", the Loaded "Dancer", "Dervish" and "Vanguard", all the wheels I've bought including the amazing 97mm Abec 11's that I never thought I'd have. Some people have weed, others alcohol, but this is what I'm about.

the perfect video. responsible for most of the collective desire to get on a longboard and ride down summer streets. thank you adam squared

Adam and Adam will always have a special place in my heart for the way they inspired me and my friends. Longboarding connects all of us here, friends. Keep pushing

This video made me want to buy a longboard... After almost 11 years, I still feel the peace I used to feel with the fluidity of this video

This is the video that convinced me to stop riding a pintail and took me to the next level in the mountains of PA as a kid. Love it for ever! Thank you for keeping the vid and letting the good memories come back !!!

It's late 2022, and i come back to this video ever so often still. Clears my mind and reminice of simpler times.

This should be required viewing for every longboarder at least once a year to remember what it's all about.

This brings me back. Adam was and still is the man.

I was a freshman in college (2009) when I first saw this and learned to ride. Now I'm a husband and a father. I guess I will wait for my kids to start riding so I can surprise them that their dad wasn't always lame.

Adam and Adam made longboarding cool. Hands down. As someone who started skating when I was 5 I always thought longboarding was for losers who had no skill. Then they came along and showed what you could do with skill. My former experience made it easy to pick up and changed my overall riding. I love those dudes for making such an impact in my life. Longboarding was such a huge focal point of my life for years. So many good memories made all thanks to these dudes

Damn. Nostalgia. I remember my first Vanguard, Dervish and Tan Tien. Skate sessions all around Victoria, BC. Me and my best pal living in a house not far off campus just skating around loving it. Awesome.

i still remember the first time i walked into that one store in the next big city for the first and spotted some longboards. I had some really cheap noisemakers passed on to me and i rode the hell out of them but i was instantly fascinated by the smoothness and how easy these were to push. i kept returning everytime my parents took me there and tried new boards whenever their display changed until about half a year later they had a dervish in stock and at that moment i just felt that thiswas the one for me. So i managed to convince my parents to greenlight this although "I already had one" and this thing was more expensive than my bike at the time, in fact this thing was probably the most expensive in my posession at the time, but i thinnk the fact that i was obbsessing about getting one for a while was proof enough it wouldnt go to waste. the staff was super chill too and they gave me a little discounnt and i paid in part with my parennts money and more thann half with my own and have been riding it to this day and its my favourite means of commuting or just going out and have fun. so inspired by all the other comments: this is the story how i got my dervish before i ever knew about your brand or the community associated with it and i must say it was probably one of the best purchases i ever made.

Mum bought a longboard for me years ago. I had no idea what it was until I googled it and found you guys and this video. I used to skate for ages to the best hills in my area and rode them all day long, bombing them, sliding, carving, dancing along the flats. The vibes out there were something else, but these vids you guys made inspired me to be better at it every day and earn those memories. Thanks, Loaded crew. I couldn't have done it without you 👍

My god I think that this the first time that I've seen this movie in 10 years haha.

This video made me buy my Loaded Dervish too. So beautifully dreamy, and I love the memories! It's 13 years old now! The board was definitely a good buy too, it's still mine.

This video convinced me to buy a dervish back in spring '08. I'm still rocking that same board. Loaded really created something great with this board

Still one of the best longboarding videos ever. What a great time it was, thank you Adams

Seriously.. all of you guys' videos makes me wanna buy whatever you've got for sale, everything is just perfect, the landscapes, the boards, the tricks, the music, best video's i've ever seen, honestly.

Loaded Boards surely it was recorded in better quality and this was just the era of low def KZread? I’d pay to see this in all its 480p ish or better glory.

So graceful.. Reminds me of ice skating. Great music too.

I remember when this video came out and here I am over a decade later in 2021 still loving it...so nostalgic!!!

Somehow made it back here, and the music brought me back 10 years ago watching this in my first bedroom to myself - a freshman in highschool - how fast time goes 🥲 time well spent… I tallied over 100 miles on my dervish with the signature adam colton trucks. Spent every penny on that board, and it arrived in winter where I could only ride it inside and on areas of concrete where it had thawed… much love, loaded adam and adam. Edit: In 2021 I still ride my dervish with adam colton signature trucks.

ooooh yea this takes me back. first video of longbaording I saw and still my fave.

Corbin anslie I totally agree I love this vid and they are great, so fluent with every step

I respect them so much more for showing that end part where they mess up. They made the video perfect, looking like they were flawless. But we all know better. And bloopers are always funny. Awesome video.

this video is so beautiful. it makes me glad to be alive.

Almost 12 years later and this is still the best thing on KZread. Please never take this video down. If at some point, maybe thousands of years from now, society collapses and humans go extinct this is how I want us to be remembered.

Quase tres milhoes de visuaizações, um dos longs mais fodas e deliciosos que eu ja andei. Bons tempos. VCs são fodas!!!

This video is the reason i got into longboarding, starting with learning basic 180 body varials, cross stepping, and tiger claws on my 47' Gravity HyperCarve, then got the upgrade to the Loaded Dervish, now pulling off slides, peter panning, and working on combos. THANKS ADAM and ADAM! YOUR MY HEROS!!

That was incredible!!! I'm floored! It was like graceful asphalt surfing. Very Boss. I wish everyday of my life was as smooth sailing as this video! Very inspiring - Bravo!

This video..changed my life. Adam was such a chill dude. Grew up riding in his area. Saw him around. Pure shredder. Still have the OG dervish. Flex 2

There is something very special about this. I can't quite put my finger on it. As old as it is it is timeless....

And again this video made me get (more) into boarding and progress. +Crunchie made me get into skating, aswell as my stoner "friends" i had back at my dads. +Peter Kell helped me with picking out and making me actually understand skating more. Adam helped me get more confident and into more tricks. Thanks Loaded also again..

I fall into a trance every time I watch this, absolutely beautiful. The art of surfing on land.

I didn't know such things can be done on a long board. It looks like a beautiful ballet dance. I want one.

Man this video makes me nostalgic. The Dervish was my first longboard, I got it a little over a year ago. I rode that thing all the time. I just recently got a new board and I look at my dervish, dirty, broken noses, stress cracks and just remember how much I loved riding that board.

Just moved to Florida and flat land riding is on the menu, so are the parking garages, smooth piece, good work Loaded

I remember watching this 10 years ago, 28 now just got back into longboarding this is first video I needed watch to remember what it’s all about.

this video changed my life got me off the couch and on a board doing something nice for my body (except for falling) and really helped me become a better individual!

This video inspired me definantly.. I watched it about two years ago, then went and bought an original apex 34. This video always brings memories of that first summer longboarding.. Doing runs around the lake on those perfect sunny days.. Shit will stay with me forever. Peace and longboard.

What a classic. At occoquan Va no less!

I saw this video for the first time a year and a half ago. I was mesmerized. And once I saw "Let Go," there was no turning back. I was in love with longboarding. The simple tranquility of the thing struck me like nothing ever had before. I have to thank you, Loaded, the longboarding community would be at least one less without you.

Still have my original dervish.still ride it. This is the video that got me into longboarding back in 07

this video is why i started ! such an amazing feeling back then :) ( and still is :D ) *tears*

I love this song, i listen to it on a daily basis
