Title: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: hobochimp on June 23, 2018, 12:30:53 PM
I've been really curious about "egg" or football shaped boards. For example the Heroin Big Egg, or the Cardiel Antihero. They seem like they'd skate pretty well as all around boards for both street and tranny. Just curious what peoples thoughts were on them and how they skate. Also if anyone knows any other companies making these shapes I'd be interested in seeing more decks of this style.

I'm skating the Baker Impact Stripe egg right now and love it.  I've got the Heroin Big Egg lined up next.  Let's also not forgot that these are early 90s shapes, so make sure to set it up with some wide trucks and 48mm wheels.

I've been really interested in this 90's football shape trend. Alex had a good looking shape on his promodel for 917 and Blind made some reissues of the 90's grafics but the boards were pretty overpriced.

yeah the cardiel and kennedy are the same shape.  these boards are 9+ at their widest point, but with the strong taper at the nose and tail, they don't really feel that wide.

You just made me look at crailtap.com for the first time in years. That powerslide board is 9.25 wide and the wheelbase is 13.875.

I just skated the Big Egg and now I'm currently on the Cardiel.  The exact two boards from your initial comment.

The Big Egg is great but ultimately I wasn't feeling the 14.25 WB so I switched to the Cardiel which has a 14.75 WB and a more traditional popsicle tail. 

Both great boards, just depends if you like a long or short WB

So I can see it on my phone if you quote it or did you edit something? I thought maybe it was a mobile issue.

Anyway I wanted a football shape too, after watching Chico Instagram clips on repeat.

Really liked this deck so waited for Memorial Day sale, and had some fresh ace 55s to pair with it I bought a while back. Deck is a Creature ever slick 8.88 and almost feels like the 55s are not wide enough, but haven’t skated because I just recovered from a gnarly heel bruise and wanted to skate my regular setup again first

I just set one up with Venture 5.8s and they are perfect. Ace 44 will be slighty short but the nose and tails taper down to about an 8.2ish  Ill have to double check. 55 will be nice but lots of wheels sticking out.

Edit: yeah 44s would be perfect. The board at the widest point is 8.75 but feels like a 8.25.

Yes, it can bite more the axles than usual, the board would be perfect with some 139.

I’ve been considering the 10” for a while, but I was unsure about trucks. I have 169s and a .875” gap sounds big even for an egg shape? I dm’ed Fos and he said he runs 169s with it, but kinda wishes something like 189s existed. Anyone have any personal experience with this deck?

The shapes on the blind reissues are really good.
Well I’ve only tried this one High Guy, but I love how it felt under my feet so much that I bought 2 more acternmy first.
I tried an egg shaped welcome once (called Anthem shape/ “authentic 90s football shape”)  and hated it.

There’s really not much of a difference from shaped decks to popsicles to me (I usually go back and fourth with no problem) but I’m also not very good at skating so someone really good might have a harder time getting adjusted.

Someone said they don’t like that the kinda are dsm wood but that shit is great. China maple is just as good to me. They press one at a time so there no issue between shape being slightly off if you buy the board more than once.
Dwindle wood is legit and fine.

Re: polar football;

Hopefully someone that had/has it jumps in (shape looks sick)...I’ve seen people run all different size trucks on it. I think you could be really close with 144/148s. I think it’s around 8.25 across the trucks

I liked the Heroin Big Egg the most and I'm really tempted by the 10" one.
[close]

I’ve been considering the 10” for a while, but I was unsure about trucks. I have 169s and a .875” gap sounds big even for an egg shape? I dm’ed Fos and he said he runs 169s with it, but kinda wishes something like 189s existed. Anyone have any personal experience with this deck?

I have been riding the bigger egg with 215s for awhile now. Dremel’d wheel wells to loosen the 215s so they turn proper.

I tried 169s and it seemed wrong.  I tried ACE66 and they were probably the closest to flush,  but something about the 215s seems so right.   Kickflips still work but treflips with 215s and my wide 56mm ojII Combo’s is incredibly difficult as are Nollie flips

I used Venture 5.2 low so it’s 8inch truck and it doe not stick out at all. I just tried a 7.5 with those trucks too and I see no wheels sticking out either.
As for the polar football it’s ight I hate it because of how steep the concave is but it functions just like a normal board really.

Bummer on the concave. I was hoping it was more flat like in 1992. Thanks on the Lotti info. I've got 139s (8.0) currently and wasn't sure if I'd be cool with them

I have a Polar Footy setup at the moment. I ride Ace 44 on it and it's perfectly flush over the bolts. But I lent the board to a mate who rides 159 and they stuck out, but not enough to matter because technically it was still flush with the widest point of the board, so you won't really have any issues pushing and kicking your axle.

Just want to note before you buy one though, compared to other football shapes I've skated, the Polar has VERY narrow, pointed nose and tail. While the overall size is pretty comfy, it's a bit off-putting IMO. Saying that I skate 95% transition and prefer fuller tails like the Blind FUBK reissues have.

You want 149s or 8.5” trucks on any egg shaped board between 8.5”-9.25”
I have every size truck and I really like 159s and 169s but 149s are the best size truck, a lil deck overhang of 3/8”th inch in each side is nothing especially with taper.
Just buy 149 Indy’s and get some aftermarket bushings from Indy and size those puppies up with boards in real life at your skateshop, they will work on any board from 8.25”-9.25”- different sized trucks are a fucking conspiracy to make old men buy several pairs of trucks. 149s turn the best, silver, standard weight and height. This is not complicated.

i bought the gabriel rodriguez one and fell in love with the shape. wide in the middle, but with a teeny tail and nose so you can still pop hard? it's perfect. i just got a polar board that's pretty much the same and i'm hyped, i wish football shapes were more common.

For some reason Girl listed this as the Phawt shape but it's actually the couch shape which has the 13.875 wb.

I really wish more co’s measured across the trucks. I saw people skating that polar egg (in photos) on 169s, but that looked like it’d be better with 144/148/44s.

But by all means skate it with 9’s. Board looks dope and super fun

Trying out my first egg, don't love the graphic but do love the shape (and the price). Got in about a half hour of flat ground today and I can't believe how good nollie tricks feel on this. Hoping to get to some curbs tomorrow, might switch the 159s out for ace 44s with extra washers.

Has anyone tried the new Heroin Anatomy of an Egg board yet?? It’s 9.4 and I’m interested but I don’t want a board I can’t flip. I had the Big Egg before and loved it but 9.4 seems too big

I have it and I don't have flip tricks but, I don't think it will be much of an issue due to the taper. It did feel like a boat.

you finally come to the dark side of old man/ big shapes? I rocked ace 44s on my 8.75 Chico chocolate board and it was totally fine. It’s going to come down to how much taper the deck has around the trucks (Chico’s has tonnes on the nose end). Do you have a pair of 149s on hand? Chico DM-ed me the other day and said he ran his shape with either 149s or 159s. BUT judging by his recent footage he could literally skate any setup.
Do you want stability or ability to flip the board more? Another slap trick is to put two washers on the inside of the wheel to push them out a bit further.
I’d measure the width over the truck areas and then go from there 🤔
There’s a guy in the big boy thread with 148s on a 9.25 girl and it looks fine

Yeah, 149s should do the trick. It’s 8.98 but probably only at the widest point in the middle of the deck. 159s would probably stick out a bit around the nose. Surely there’s a slap pal on here that’s set one up?

If you already have the deck why not just measure it? If not then approximate measuring can be done in an image editing software from a picture. Has worked fine for me at least.

You just made me look at crailtap.com for the first time in years. That powerslide board is 9.25 wide and the wheelbase is 13.875.


Anybody know what could be expected from that width + wheelbase? I dont have much experience with a smaller wheelbase, let alone a smaller wheelbase with that shape

I too was hesitant about the wheelbase. Then I just said fuck it. Picked the Ace up on sale to try out, I typically ride Venture.

Really curious about this as well. Saw that shape and was immediately intrigued. I wonder how it is to skate.

Also, anyone that's been skating the Heroin egg boards, what size trucks are you running and what would be the most reasonable size/brand to use? Are you using small or large wheels and how is it skating one? Are flip tricks harder or easier than you thought?  I would love some details. Super curious about the decks.

the Krooked HH is not a slick.

I've only used it to cruise so far, but despite measuring 8.38", it feels super tiny (I usually skate 8.6-8.75"). The width across the bolt holes measure to 8", and the widest point is in the middle. The nose and tail are pointy. I'd say this would be a great shape if you exclusively do flip tricks.

Had a few days off and decided to try this out. The wheelbase is crazy, but in a good way.
I'm riding 159's on it and it doesn't stick out noticeably. 149's would be ideal, but I didn't want to buy new trucks for such a small difference. I've only skated flat ground so far, but super excited to fuck around on this thing.

first impressions, I might have given myself a downgrade.
the only issue I had with the Guy slick was that the concave was super flat. Besides that I really liked the shape. This Gerwer has the smallest tail. All my flips have become flops. And it doesn't really seem like a slick. Whatever super thin layer of plastic that there is was torn through on the first boardslide and it's just wood underneath. Not a full slick ply like the Guy. It is really good for shuvits though. That second pictures makes it appear there is a huge difference in length between the two. Just an optical illusion.

I picked that one up. It's actually a 8.7.

better side by side top shot. there isn't that much difference between the 2.
I took a measuring tape to it. I measured width at the point where my axle nuts are. Not in the middle of the baseplate. I have it set up with Thunder 149s.

I can't guarantee that the measurements given at skatepro are correct of course, but the only one in the bunch that was listed as having a 15" WB was this one that I was a little bit unsure if it was eggy enough to post in this thread - and the one with the least appeal to me personally anyway:
(https://cdn.skatepro.com/product/440/element-barbee-x-cliver-skateboard-deck-yn.jpg)
That one's listed as 8.75" x 32.5", and that graphic is also available on a 8.25" x 32.25" popsicle with a 14.25" wheelbase.

Anyway, what makes me interested in either the 9" Element or the Quasi Johnson is that I absolutely love my Polar football, and I had a PS Stix last year (a Pizza Uncle Jesse :-X) that had a sort-of-eggish shape that I really liked too. So I want to see how the PS works out with the full on shape, and I'm curious about adding just a little bit more girth to the setup. I skate a 8.375" usually but the 8.75" football doesn't really feel any wider at all (well it probably isn't across the bolts anyway).

I noticed some football/eggish Element Ray Barbee x Sean Cliver decks. Was never a fan of Element and I know they're not particularly high status on here either, but hey it's Ray Barbee.
(https://cdn.skatepro.com/product/440/element-barbee-x-cliver-skateboard-deck-wp.jpg)(https://cdn.skatepro.com/product/440/element-barbee-x-cliver-skateboard-deck-1y.jpg)
The one on the left is 9" x 32.75" 14.3" WB, the one on the right is 8.875" x 31.75" 14" WB. I'm actually considering the 9" one if I don't go for that Quasi Jake Johnson board.

Shape on the left is perfect, like the graphic on the right a bit more from nostalgia

This is, for me, the best board shape. I am skating a Sausage with the same dimensions, and have another one on backup along with a Cardiel football (also the same shape/dimensions). Does anybody else do a front tapered football with a 14.75 WB? I want to try a Phawt and I know crail wood is supposed to have gotten better but I am still skeptical.

I’ve had better luck with Girl phawt wood than cardiel bbs/generator. I like mellow concave on girl and I’ve had a couple old wood and one new wood and the generator and it really makes me think all wood is the same. Also could be wide boards last pretty long. Although I did just break a 10.5 scram generator deck that was a couple weeks old. Crail wood held up better or the same

I'm the opposite. Had a couple of new Crail wood boards and they were great for a little while but mushed out far quicker than BBS for me. I just fucked myself and got another crail board (Tershy 9.25") bc it was so cheap on BF... oh well...

I gave both my cardiels away, after skating them a little, both fun boards. Never fully figured out the best setup. I think 14.75 is too much for me. Probably had the most fun with 159s

"Not a need". Pshhh, how are you going to do your boy Ben like that?

Kidding, but on the real I would skate that.

I can't get myself to pull the trigger on a phawt. I'm not a board breaker and I love to run a board for as long as possible, but I'm a bigger guy and most non-Generator boards get soggy and pressure crack on me super fast. That being said, I am paranoid that AH is going to stop making the Cardiel football and thus feel like I need to keep my options open with similar shapes that also have a 14.75" WB.

Krooked Cromer would would pair nicely with 139s, maybe the AH black widow as well. I've been tempted to try one since I have some 139s just sitting around and I have come around to shorter wheelbases as of late.

Both of these suggestions are spot on. I had the black widow and fucking didn’t like it, but I was really all over the place at the time with gear. The tail also wasn’t very pointy if I recall correctly. I like the way the polar football is real pointed. I think someone said at the bolts it’s 8.25....there was a Brian Lotti shape that Benson posted that was sick, smaller football.
Anyways thanks for the query, I have the most fun on 8” trucks, and like pointy shapes so I’m interested to see what comes out of this. My strong preference is for 14” wb as well.

I rocked a Krooked Cromer with some Thunder 149s and some Spitfire 80D wheels. I was coming off of a really bad back injury that had me off board for like 6-7 months. It was some of the worst constant pain I’ve ever had and it really fucked with my whole life. Needless to say I was pretty gunshy when I started pushing around again. Every time I went out on my regular board, I was so disheartened by how I felt. So I set up the Cromer as a way to not hold myself to any mental standard of skating. I would think “I’m just on a cruiser, so I don’t even have to try or do any tricks and it’s ok.” Before I even knew it a few weeks had gone by and I was rifling off Flatground tricks, cruising a bowl, hitting a bump to ledge... That setup helped me get back in the saddle so much that when I broke it doing some flip trick I bought another. Nowadays I skate my regular board again, but I have that setup (I swapped the 80Ds for some formula 4s) and still skate it a ton. I guess what I’m getting at with my long rambling story is; egg boards are fun as fuck & if you don’t like it as a regular setup, they make great fucking cruisers. Cheers y’all.

That rules so much, your story got me psyched. I always feel like my best skating comes from situations like that, where I'm not putting pressure on myself, and I think egg shapes are good for being functional while still looking interesting. I am also just super into how pointy boards look.

You know, that’s a really good point that it’s like a sized down Cardiel football. I had two of those Cardiel’s and although I liked that shape, and LOVED skating it around, flat ground 99% of my chosen terrain, was a struggle.



And that comeback story is dope. Thanks for that

That Kelch is sick. 35th actually has a couple shop decks that look like they might fit (model below in football and assorted shapes, 14.5 WBs):

I don't have 151s, but with 159s I've always paired them with a ~9"-9.25" football to account for the taper over the trucks. You could also run them on an AH brown bomber, though with a 14.25" WB it might be too short.

The Cardiel/sausage/phawt shape is good but yeah, WB is like 14.75"-14.8". I've been skating a popsicle with a 14.25" WB and when I took the Cardiel out yesterday it felt so so heavy.

Thanks! Yeah the cardiel wheelbase is just too long. The 35th ave football actually looks great, though perhaps still a little pointier than I'd like but probably the best option so far. Just stumbled upon this too and it looks decent https://strangeloveskateboards.com/collections/boards/products/sean-cliver-birth-of-cthulhu-8-875-deck

The kelch is almost perfect, but at 31.5 14.25 its just a tiny bit shorter than what I'd like on a non tech fuckaround setup. 9 inch for the taper sounds like a good idea, though anything from 8.6 to 9 ish will be fine since I don't mind some axle sticking out.

I don't have 151s, but with 159s I've always paired them with a ~9"-9.25" football to account for the taper over the trucks. You could also run them on an AH brown bomber, though with a 14.25" WB it might be too short.

The Cardiel/sausage/phawt shape is good but yeah, WB is like 14.75"-14.8". I've been skating a popsicle with a 14.25" WB and when I took the Cardiel out yesterday it felt so so heavy.
[close]

Thanks! Yeah the cardiel wheelbase is just too long. The 35th ave football actually looks great, though perhaps still a little pointier than I'd like but probably the best option so far. Just stumbled upon this too and it looks decent https://strangeloveskateboards.com/collections/boards/products/sean-cliver-birth-of-cthulhu-8-875-deck

The kelch is almost perfect, but at 31.5 14.25 its just a tiny bit shorter than what I'd like on a non tech fuckaround setup. 9 inch for the taper sounds like a good idea, though anything from 8.6 to 9 ish will be fine since I don't mind some axle sticking out.

I actually held that Cthulhu board in my hands on my last shop visit before the issued the order for nonessential businesses to close. Its a really nice shape, and even though the tail tapers it doesn't look to extreme IRL.

If you end up getting that 35th football, post a pic if you think of it. I've been tempted by it but am trying to be frugal as possible given the current situation.

Anyone have any ideas for a good egg shaped board that would fit Thunder 151s well, wheelbase 14.3-14.5 ish, length 32-31.2 ish?

I really like the company strangelove, best shit, I’ve never skated mine, too hyped on the graphics, so I can’t speak to the actual board quality, but they have a few 8.75s that might work. The Freddy Krueger Eazy-E board from a few seasons back would be real decent

first impressions, I might have given myself a downgrade.
the only issue I had with the Guy slick was that the concave was super flat. Besides that I really liked the shape. This Gerwer has the smallest tail. All my flips have become flops. And it doesn't really seem like a slick. Whatever super thin layer of plastic that there is was torn through on the first boardslide and it's just wood underneath. Not a full slick ply like the Guy. It is really good for shuvits though. That second pictures makes it appear there is a huge difference in length between the two. Just an optical illusion.

How wide is the Gerwer at bolts? (+ same question for the Guy) Thanks.

(http://i.imgur.com/6U2jp48l.jpg) (https://imgur.com/6U2jp48)
better side by side top shot. there isn't that much difference between the 2.
I took a measuring tape to it. I measured width at the point where my axle nuts are. Not in the middle of the baseplate. I have it set up with Thunder 149s.
Gerwer:
Front truck width: 8.5
Back truck width: 8.25

Guy:
Front truck width: 8.5
Back truck width: 8.375

Both have 14.25 WB.
I‘ve set up the gerwer today but with thunder 151s. Seems to fit it pretty perfect.

Any smaller egg shapes out there that I can use 139s with?
[close]

Krooked Cromer would would pair nicely with 139s, maybe the AH black widow as well. I've been tempted to try one since I have some 139s just sitting around and I have come around to shorter wheelbases as of late.
[close]
I rocked a Krooked Cromer with some Thunder 149s and some Spitfire 80D wheels. I was coming off of a really bad back injury that had me off board for like 6-7 months. It was some of the worst constant pain I’ve ever had and it really fucked with my whole life. Needless to say I was pretty gunshy when I started pushing around again. Every time I went out on my regular board, I was so disheartened by how I felt. So I set up the Cromer as a way to not hold myself to any mental standard of skating. I would think “I’m just on a cruiser, so I don’t even have to try or do any tricks and it’s ok.” Before I even knew it a few weeks had gone by and I was rifling off Flatground tricks, cruising a bowl, hitting a bump to ledge... That setup helped me get back in the saddle so much that when I broke it doing some flip trick I bought another. Nowadays I skate my regular board again, but I have that setup (I swapped the 80Ds for some formula 4s) and still skate it a ton. I guess what I’m getting at with my long rambling story is; egg boards are fun as fuck & if you don’t like it as a regular setup, they make great fucking cruisers. Cheers y’all.
[close]

That rules so much, your story got me psyched. I always feel like my best skating comes from situations like that, where I'm not putting pressure on myself, and I think egg shapes are good for being functional while still looking interesting. I am also just super into how pointy boards look.

Both of these suggestions are spot on. I had the black widow and fucking didn’t like it, but I was really all over the place at the time with gear. The tail also wasn’t very pointy if I recall correctly. I like the way the polar football is real pointed. I think someone said at the bolts it’s 8.25....there was a Brian Lotti shape that Benson posted that was sick, smaller football.
Anyways thanks for the query, I have the most fun on 8” trucks, and like pointy shapes so I’m interested to see what comes out of this. My strong preference is for 14” wb as well.
[close]

I remember seeing them in person and they're like a mini version of the Cardiel football, right. I love that pointy-noise, round-tail combo.
[close]

You know, that’s a really good point that it’s like a sized down Cardiel football. I had two of those Cardiel’s and although I liked that shape, and LOVED skating it around, flat ground 99% of my chosen terrain, was a struggle.



And that comeback story is dope. Thanks for that

i have the blind Lotti reissue and love it with 139s
the deck is 8.125" at the widest and 7.75" wide above the axles.
tried to keep it era accurate, so i have it set up with Indy Stage VII 139s + A1 Meats 52mm 95a

Me too!  Really fun shape to skate. Mostly using it for curbs, but I can flip it fine too.  I put some thunder 149’s I had laying around on it.  I’m pretty sure that’s what Villani uses going off of his signature trucks.   The board tapers to 8.75 or just less at the wheels.  No more than a quarter inch wider.  I know a lot of skaters who like skating trucks a quarter inch narrower than their deck like a lot of the baker guys.  Easier to flip.  151’s would be an exact match width wise. I think I might try the smaller heroin fried egg board next.

I just got the villani board last week. Kinda look almost like a symmetrical egg shaped. 6.9" nose & 6.4" tail.. Primitive did a special free delivery to Malaysia so i jump on it. I got the Moebius Anxiety Man graphic. Goin on the wall, but i ordered another one from Primitive, to skate. I also grab 2 of his dragon ballz board which are also 9.125 from our local shop. I kept pestering them to bring in more shaped boards, and finally they did. They just shipped it today. Might received the package this weekend. Hard to get boards larger than 8.5" here in Malaysia.

8.875"x32.25", 14" WB sounds amazing.

Thanks! Yeah, I put the 159s up to it and didn't like how it looked. It tapers to like 8.6 over the back truck. Part of my thinking is that if Chico is skating a 9" shaped with 149s then that is what is up. I also prefer 149s in general.

Yeah I’ve had 2 set of Indy 149s and I just can’t get into em. And I hate that I can’t.
I can do marginally better on 159s. Doesn’t make sense.
5.8s and thunder 149s are ok as well.
149s were the wave of the last 10 years and it bummed me out I couldn’t stick with the times.

Ordered this Toy Machine egg a while ago but never set it up.  Had some extra trucks and wheels laying around so decided to give it a go. It's more football than an egg, and the camera angle has distorted it a bit to make the tail look much bigger, but in reality the nose and tail are very similar.  The nose is a bit pointier than the Heroin egg which is the last one of these type setups I did.  Top graphic indicates that it was made and screened in USA, but not sure which woodshop.  It doesn't have the same look or feel as the old Watson toy machines.

I really like the deck, but going from Ace 55s down to Thunder 151s took some getting used to on ledge/curb tricks.  I like how light the hollow thunders are, but still much prefer the turn and feel of the Aces.  This will remain a setup for when I just feel like dicking around.

I for sure want to hear how that set up skates. Really flip flopping on that or the polar football.

Thanks! I've gotten to skate it twice, so far so good. I was a little concerned about the short (13.875") wheelbase but it feels great and not at all cramped. If anything, I felt like I was rocketing a little less than usual. I do a lot of slappies and shove-it variations and it made those feel very effortless, in particular slappy crooks which got me feeling pretty juiced. I don't really flip my board much, so I can't really comment on that. Tried a couple heelflips and they felt no worse than on any other board.

The Crail wood feels good so far. I got a couple small pressure cracks already, but that happens super fast for me most of the time anyway. I'm curious to see how it holds up.

@OK, I'm sorry for my rant in the setup thread. FWIW I feel like the longer WB on the Polar (its like 14.375" or 14.5"?) would be weird. This (and my hating the last 14.5" that I set up) has me believing in the power of the short WB).

Also, @Kneebone, that Toy board is sick and I am super jealous! I tried to find that one a little ago but no dice.

I've said it on here before but this Send Help shape is my fave egg. It's 9 inches, which to me means it skates pretty much like an 8.5, and the nose and tail are almost almost identical, which is a plus to me.

I'm late coming into this thread so excuse me if this has been discussed but are there companies making eggs/footballs with flatish concave? I just was watching Love Child and all the boards looked so fun - maybe I'm wrong cause I wasn't skating in that era but they all looked really flat.

Also wonderin if anyone knows if there are companies making blank egg/footballs?

It's from the "black summer" series last year (at least I think it was last year). Heroin has an egg in the current line up called the fried egg that's pretty close though, just a bit wider.

Changed the 6.1/stf 99 combo for 44 on F4 99 classics 53mm
Now I'm waiting for another egg on the way and I'll put the 6.1 on that one since it will be a little bigger.

The 8.75? My friend is on his second one and loves it. He normally skates an 8.38 popsicle and does flip tricks and ledge shit pretty much equally as good one both setups. I've stood on it and it feels like a great shape. I'd personally prefer it be 32 inch length though.

cross posting from some of the other threads, not the egg i had intended to buy, and much wider than i have ever owned or skated before, but i think it should be pretty fun.  it's super short in the wheelbase, and you can feel it as soon as you stand on it.  feels more like an early 00s 7.75" than a massive modern board

x-post big boards thread

I couldn't decide between a few decks so I had my friend pick, and this is what she chose. It's too brilliant and honestly I kinda wanted to wallhang it after seeing it in person.

that tail goes to skinny point shit quick i love it
good call having your girl ("friend?") pick it out.. i should try that more.
but the 66's at 9.35 gotta be poking with the taper on that? they already are 0.225" wider than the widest deck point. i dunno top pic doesn't look insane at all

Top pic was taken at an angle. The trucks only stick out to where you can see a sliver of axle nut, and it doesn't make a difference whatsoever. It's only 0.11" difference on each side.

It's a pretty cool shape as well since the tapered nose + tail make the board very manipulable like a standard popsicle, but the width is great for stability/truck room.

Yes, you must be very careful. Riding a board even slightly eggy might make you fly out in space and the board over rotating when flipping. You must especially be careful of the ego factor when egging, when riding egg among popsticle friends they might be intimidated by your flying into space. Please dont let it get to your head and all should be fine.

Guess both those can be seen as pros and cons.

Also eggs are fun, not much much different than popsicle, maybe some rotating tricks easier etc but all depends on the size etc.

Egg-shaped decks are pretty hard to get here in Malaysia. 1 of our local skateshop has some Primitive DragonBall collab in, and i've been eyeing the Franky board.. So when they came in i snagged 2 to go.. The moebius collab has the same exact dimension..9.125 x 32.187, nose 6.9, tail 6.4 & 14.25wb. Already setup 1 with Indy 159 standards & f4 99a 54mm. Ordered a set of Ace55s from a skate shop in Thailand. Will set those up once it arrives. I hv the 44s on the AH 8.5 black widow..

i like egg tails for rotational and scoopy tricks. they arent as stable for me as blunt kicks for everything else.

Not stupid question at all. It helps with certain tricks for sure, the "rotational" ones if you like.

I am riding the same shape, but a different Villani  graphic. I am using some thunder 149’s I had laying around. The deck tapers to 8 3/4 at the wheels and the trucks have an 8.5 axle length.  I think Frankie Villani uses 149’s going off of his signature truck and videos I’ve seen.  Definitely a fun shape to skate. An 8.75 axle would be the go to truck if would want to match the width exactly where it tapers.

Most of my flippery was during the era of these shapes only, so for myself, it feels more natural than these popsicle shapes. Although, hypocrisy here, skinny popsicles are nice and flippery for me as well. Just not into the current wide trend

I feel the same way, I tried to like the wide popsicles but it was a waste of my time and money. I love egg shapes for flip tricks and they are cool to just down at because they have "character".

Don’t do it.
Naw, I mean.....yeah it’s fun to try different stuff, but I’m in too many places with equipment and now it just gets in the way of actually skating.
Ventures are great, shit I like thunders as well.
Having a ‘cruiser’ or something with soft wheels is fun to switch it up, having a big ass boat of a board can be cool too. Whatever gets you stoked. My shit is blocking me from getting outside. I’ll get out there, fucking hate my setup on the way to the spot (cuz too small, wheels little, whatever), get there, do great (for me) kickflips be stoked ish. Next time out I’ll try and ride something not so cramped, love pushing down the street, freak the fuck out when I can’t land a trick. Rinse. Repeat.
Quarantine got me extra kooky.

On another note, I checked out my Lotti football and can't wait to skate that. I am saving that for fall, as my nostalgia for that era correlates with skating in fall, so in my attempt to re-live those moments, I will wait till it's cooler out

Closest I’ve seen is Heroin Eggsorcist which is 9.4. Setting that up next. Otherwise, I don’t know if the Zip Zogger counts but that is Eggy and 10.75, and that’s fun as hell but short.

Yes, I have one of the Primitive boards. To be honest I am not man enough for it . https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=97297.msg3304667#msg3304667

So today I turned this 8.8 shop deck from 35th ave
(https://i.imgur.com/mSunirp.jpg)

Into this
(https://i.imgur.com/QJgyRXc.jpg)
31 7/8” long
Symmetrical 6.75 nose and tail
14.5 wb

It came out halfway decent. I’m gonna run it with Ace 55s and it should work out pretty good.

I marked the centerline on the deck and about an inch back from the lower bolt holes on the nose and tail.  Traced the tail onto paper and then folded that in half.  Cut it to a different shape and then laid it out on the deck to see if I liked it.

Tried that a couple times till I had one I liked. Traced the shape on the tail of the deck, did the same for the nose.
Jig saw, sander, sandpaper...

I just got my Ace 55s in the mail today so i set it up with the Franky egg board.i put 2 speedrings on the inside. Before this, i was running Indy 159 standards, also 2 speedrings on the inside.. Both trucks fits nicely.. Got thunder team hollows 151 as well. Haven't tried those on yet. Yeah.. Truck madness.. If only i can get my hands on the Venture 6.1 😅

Not sure what your definition of huge is exactly but I’m assuming 9+? I know 35th Ave has a nine inch football shape. Their shop boards are really good and worth the price, plus the shop is rad.

I’m down. A 9 egg feels like an 8.5 popsicle... I want 9.5 or 10. I think our best bet is to petition Heroin to make more big ones. I’d love to pick up a zip zogger but I’m not stoked on the tail.

Yeah, I grabbed the red graphic one because it was cheaper and I wasn’t sure if I would like the shape or not. For sure, I would have loved to have tried that 10 egg.

I just came off a semi egg shaped Heroin, which met an untimely end so I set up my first real egg, another Heroin (eggsorcist) which is 9.4 wide. I never rode an egg before those and wasn’t sure I would like the shape but it turns out that I love them, which is what led me down the rabbit hole of grabbing that Villani. That should tide me over until this bout of madness passes haha

Pretty sure the original Shimizu egg was 8.75, then they came out with the 'big egg' at 9.125, then the 'bigger egg' last season at 10"

No idea on your query, but if I ever make it through my backlog of several years old half skated boards, I’d look at a narrower egg shape. Shaped boards can be fun, I just don’t need bigger than 8” trucks, that’s never helped me.

I never thought about why, but I agree with the wall ride thing. Feels a lot easier on my 9.4 egg than on the last 8.3 popsicle I rode. Doesn’t feel any less maneuverable either.

Just set up a 8.5 heroin board. I haven't skated in a year but the wood feels cheap. I'm not sure if I am tripping or not so does anyone else feel similarly? It almost feels like the board was previously waterlogged. I'm also not used to the egg shape yet, I kinda wish I got a popsicle since its been awhile

As far as I know the smallest one was the original one for Shimizu that was 8.5. They actually reissued that one for the black summer stuff a year or so ago, without Shimizu's name. The next closest thing you can find right now is the fried egg from last season at 8.9. There's also the Hardbody football at 8.75 for those interested in diving into the egg extended universe.

in the same vein I'm thinking of getting the Brown Bomber or Black Widow (although i don't like the short tail of the widow)...does anyone know what the the BB tapers to over the back trucks? i'm hoping i can still use my thunder 149's on it.

I’ve been skating the couch shape, and like the poster above am liking the tail. I was looking at it today, as it has worn into a nice squarer shape.
One other thing that I like about it is the clear coat or layer that is on the board. I’ve been skating slick decks over the last year, and the couch finish is really slick. At least for nose/ tail slides.
Have any of you skated both the couch and the Villani 9.125? I’m grabbing another board and would be rad to hear anyone’s opinions on the Villani compared to the couch. I might just grab both because even if I don’t like the Villani I could gift it to a friend who likes eggs as well.

I forget the measurement but you can totally use 149s/ 44s on the BB. If I remember correctly, they actually line up closer in width than 159s.

I’m pretty sure the monster egg was 14.75 wheelbase.

This is Fos from Heroin. First time seeing this thread (as I remember anyway.) Thanks so much all, blown away by all the reposts and comments about our egg family of boards. Glad you're enjoying em.
Here's a bit of background on where it came from, and I was actually planning on doin a week of reposting Egg boards and bits about the history of them on Instagram.
So, Shimizu was the one who first hit me up about doing an egg shaped board in 2016. So, I used an H Street Mike Carrol board as the original inspiration. Art of Skateboarding says that board is from 1991, sounds about right. It's 8.5 but that's right in the middle and it tapers a lot to above the trucks, as do all the Eggs. The Wheelbase on this first one was tiny too, a lot of wheelbases in teh 90's seemed much shorter than nowadays. A few of the riders liked the Shimizu Egg from Fall 2016, but It wasn't until I redesigned it and made it a lot more functional with the Big Egg that I think it started to gain some popularity. That was Spring 2018 when the Big Egg first came out. I took the original shape and blew the whole thing up and put it onto a more realistic Wheelbase for todays market.
So, I really didn't know if I'd like it personally. I've always liked popsicles with really straight rails and rounded out noses and tails. Once I rode the Egg though I ended up skating five in a  row and it was my new favorite shape, it seemed super functional right away and whenever I order boards for me to ride personally i always ask for em on the Big Egg shape.
It's 9.125 in the widest point, and more like 8.625 above the trucks, so skates more like an 8.5 or 8.625. I use Titanium Indy 159's with mine.
So after this one was such a hit with the team riders and shops, I did more and have tried to have at least one or two eggs in every season since. The 10" egg was a huge hit among a lot of my friends and lots of people hit me up about that, so it's the latest to have a reprint. (Which quickly sold out, but we have more coming this month)
The 9.4 shape was popular (Anatomy of an Egg and Eggxorcist) I made an 8.9 version too with the Fried Egg.

For Holiday (Dropping Oct if any of us are left alive by then) We have 2 new ones, the Space Egg in 9.4 with Razortop construction (It's all I want to skate, that was a drunken Chet Childress calling me up saying we had to do that construction)
We're also doing a smaller 8.7 one called the soft egg, which is a modified version of the original smaller sized egg that we made.

Whew, lots of typing. Anyway, couple more points if anyone is still reading. Primitive were cool enough to let me draw that first Franky Villani Bat board, and so I aid it was cool if they wanted to use the Big Egg shape (Cos he was buying and riding those boards) and seeing as it's all at the same factory (Bareback) then I was cool about them using that shape.
Had lots of pro's from other brands hitting me up about shapes and buying em from our online store, which is really cool and flattering.

Thanks all.

No, I'm sorry they don't have 14.75 wheelbases. The Very Big Egg is a 14.38 WB.
However the Deer Man Skeletal 2 on woodsman that we just released has a really similar shape to the egg, Nose is almost identical and the tail is really slightly flatter or more squared, and its double drilled. I don't have one here to measure and give you the specs, but I think its something like 14.75 and 14.125 are the options for that one. Not 100% sure though.

Thanks for posting FOS, great info on the Egg story.
I have a 2nd set-up with the 8.9 Friend Egg since a homie drew the graphics, and I feel like it's the perfect width to jump into Egg shapes with. The 9+ width boards scare me, but now I know how functional the shapes are even though they are pretty wide in center. Indy 159's I had laying around did the trick.

I do wish that ACE would come out with their new truck sizes already so I can get some 8.5's to put on the smaller Egg shapes like I have 44's on my everyday board, but that has nothing to do with Heroin and your amazing boards  ;D

I got the Villani deck in today, and took a couple photos to compare to the couch. The Primitive has a much smaller nose and tail, and the wheelbase is 14.25, not the 14.5 that I’ve seen listed online. The couch tail is much wider, squared, and a little longer than the Villani. Also, the couch has deeper concave, and is all around fuller feeling. The couch worked perfect for me, had so many fun times on it. It will be cool to try the differences with the Villani, and see which I like more.

Interested to hear about how the two compare. Also, re: the fullness of the couch...

I had the loveseat a couple months back and in spite of it having a 13.875 WB it still somehow felt longer and more stable than my brown bomber (14.25 WB). Something about the amount of flat maybe?

I just set this up today, nice feeling deck. I have 159's on them but 149's might work better. The wheel wells work great, i had 55mm conical full spitfires and i couldn’t get it to wheelbite. It feels more like an 8.3, it's very maneuverable. I think the heroin 9.125 would suit me better, but this will be my tech board

Both of those look super fun in different ways.
I haven’t had a chance to ride my eggish board as I was saying bye to my P. Burke popsicle and had my 1st sesh on my new popsicle (I unfortunately only get 2-4 sessions a month); but I have my eggy one (Strsngelove 8.875) in the trunk and you make me want to pull it out next session (Tustin park this Sunday a.m. if anyone is available/willing)

Don't have one but have held one and I believe 139s are the appropriate truck. @chris. (I think) was rocking one for a bit.

I never did own one but I was thinking about it. Some folks here talked about how skinny it feels and it scared me off. From what I read I think 139s sound right.

Assuming my order went through, I should have the Krooked lil snuff in a few days.
So basically, I ride 7.75s and/or egg/ football shapes. That basically tells you I am stuck in 1992/93 and 1997-2003.
(I'm not denying it, just stating the obvious)

Looking forward to seeing that snuff. Those are probably way too small for me but I have some 33s and 139s so I am tempted.

I had a really hard time years ago moving up from sub-8" boards, and the return of 90s footballs were the key. Made me realize what I loved about small boards was the super tapered nose and as long as I have that, I can go wider for sure.

Not sure if I'm going to throw on my boardy cakes 44s or use my Spitfire 48s on this. Probably the Spitfires. I'm hoping to use the boardycakes on my Lotti Showgirls reissue. (I may flip flop these 2 setups, wheel wise). As soon as I get it, I'll take some pics. I bought some stickers to put on this too, which is funny because I never really put stickers on boards for the last 20 years. (The initial theory on this, was that boards only lasted me 2.5 weeks for a period there, so I didn't want to waste the stickers or something). Boards last me  way longer now

I'm currently running the Cromer egg shape and it's been super fun for me! I'm riding Thunder 147 raws (stock bushings) with riptide pivot cups. Paired with 53 mm F4 tablets that are probably worn down to 51 mm. I would definitely not use trucks bigger than 8" as the taper is pretty dramatic. Crooked grinds I find to be a little different, but overall all the tricks I do have, have been pretty manageable and was easy to adjust. Tre flips feel nice with the rounder tail too!

Awesome. Its on its way to me now, so I should know in a couple of days. Prefer these shapes over popsicles. But again, I am extremely biased. I pretty much only skate curbs, ledges and banks at this point anyway. Interesting on the crooked grinds, can't wait.

I have Indy 169s on it now, with 2.54mm risers, and 55mm cruiser wheels. It is good for cruising, but too high and bulky. I want to grab Thunder 161s, but dont need them. Will just take the risers off and get some small wheels on the indys.

Been skating that Lovenskate Stevie Thompson 8.75 for a minute, my first egg shape ever. Generator Wood. Not sure about the wheelbase. Skating it with 149s and 53s (F4 Classics).
It's really wide for me (I usually skate 7.875 popsicles and 8.125/8.25 shaped boards), took a minute to get used to but I'm loving it, it's perfect for skating curbs and transition. Getting more soon I reckon!

Skated it for about an hour this morning. Had a 'Nam style 1992 flashback and wondered why my pants weren't huge for a few minutes. Pretty fun so far. Security guard ruined my chance for some noseslides though. Must sneak back later

I agree on both of those things, I was hoping it would flip like a 8.3 or less popsicle. I had indy 149s on it but I swapped them out for 5.6 Ventures hoping for a better flip. Another thing I remember eggs usually are great for 3 flips, and they have not been good for me on this board.

I haven’t landed a single 360 flip or backside flip on this shape. Safe to say I won’t be buying shape again. I really wanted the shape but I hate wheel wells, turns out the wheel wells were the most tolerable aspect of the fucking deck.

My review so far (AKA: 1 session) on the 8.38 Cromer lil snuff:
-Fun board, nostalgia is everything I hoped it would be
-Extremely fun for cruising (I think the 48 Spitfires helped?)
-Have not got to try noseslides on it yet (security guard was cock blocking my secret ledges)
-Flippage was pretty good. Have not tried 360 flips on it yet.

Love the shape. Always loved these shapes! I have an irrational "fear" that I will start enjoying these so much, then DLX will stop making it. Almost like I don't want to get used to it so much that going back to a popsicle sucks. BUT if they continue to make this shape (said earlier, I prefer a smaller egg), I could see riding this into the sunset.

I've been forcing myself to have a quiver and skate a popsicle as well based (more or less) on the same irrational feelings. It sucks.

Well, finally set up my Heroin Fried Egg. I was super stoked on this thing when I bought it almost 6 months ago, then had surgery and couldn't skate for 4.5 months, have been back at it and broken a few boards, and decided it was time. Contrary to everyone else in this thread, I was not all that stoked once I set it up. I stood on it, it felt weird. I rolled around on it, it was nice. Went to pop the tail, and it's a bit shorter than what I've been skating, and felt super sketchy at first. That was the five minute impression, as I was done skating for the day when my last board snapped. Took it out yesterday for session one and to see if I would actually be able to handle it.

Verdict: It's pretty dope.

I don't think I'm going to swear off of popsicles forever as a result, but I won't shy away from eggs moving forward either, which I think could be a good thing for me. I've gotten really, really set in my ways in regards to setups, and this forces me to rethink that. It reminds me of my old New School Mike Chu I had back in 1993 (it's probably nothing like that, but looking back 27 years later (holy shit), it makes me feel like that same little kid again. Only I can do more than two tricks on it now. Kickflips were pretty hit or miss for me yesterday, but treflips were pretty sweet once I figured out where to adjust my foot placement on the different shaped board. It's fun to skate, it feels a little like a surfboard, but it's pretty rad. Overall, the egg was a solid choice to skate for awhile.

Heroin Fried Egg 8.9"
Thunder 151s
Ricta 54mm Whirlwinds (usually a Spitfire guy, but wanted to give these a try, I don't regret it. Although when these go I'll be on another set of Spitfire F4s.)

I think Villani runs 151s on his setup, but it's 1/4" difference in axle length. I think you're good to run the 149s on there without issue.

Great read @darkthrone Do you think we might ever see another 8.5 egg? Either way, keep up the great work young fella!

i would say the soft boiled 8.7 shape is better than the og 8.5 shape, slightly more "normal" wheel base.

funny, i guess i'm not the only one worrying if eggs will just be a passing fad too. hoping they stick around.

i can't ollie them or do flip tricks as high, sometimes even a little rocket, but it makes a flatground or little curb sesh soo much more fun or inspiring or whatever.

I received my Space Egg (9.4) today and I was a bit disappointed with two factors:  I didn’t realize it was going to be razortop, and it’s a bit shorter than I expected.
I love the big egg 9.1 shape and have ridden a few of those, so i was excited to try a slightly bigger one at 9.4.  However, with the razortop I’m worried it will feel even wider.  Then add on top of that it seems shorter.
But who knows.  Perhaps I shouldn’t count (out) this egg before it’s hatched (skated).

How long is it? Just got a golden razor egg from my local. I stood on it and my (last ungripped) 9.18 cards and it didn't feel wider underfoot if that's any consolation.

Catalog lists it as 32.125
I stood it up to a big egg 9.1 that I’ve had on ice and the space egg is about 1/4” shorter.  When I stand it up against a wknd Jordan Taylor 8.6 that i have, it’s the exact same, but I can’t find a length for that one listed online.  And then it’s about 3/4” shorter than a Girl Brophy 8.6x32.25, but that’s a different woodshop altogether so I’m not gonna try to draw any conclusions from that.
I’m guessing it’s coming in anywhere from 31.8-32.0.

My space egg is measuring at 32.09 give or take. It’s in between the 32 1/16th and 32 1/8th mark. 14.4ish wheelbase. I’m enjoying the razortop construction on my street baller.

Oh man, my kickflips are total dog shit right now because of my egg. So much so that I'm really thinking about making it solely a curb/cruiser board. So far I'm still letting it kick my ass as my main board. I've never had much success with the whole quiver scenario though. I always just end up riding my main stunt stick.

I haven’t yet, gonna wait til the holidays. I’m realizing I prefer my trucks either equal to or slightly wider than the width at the axles, so probably 169s.

For others who feel the tail is too short on the heroin eggs, I would encourage 2 things.  1. Give FOS/Heroin feedback (Instagram works). 2. Redrill the tail for an extra 1/4 inch: I just use the a double drilled baseplate as a jig for redrilling the holes.     This works for me personally as I like 14” wheelbase, but I realize it’s not for everyone.

i took mine to the park recently and it wasn't that great there except on the ledges. i don't think i could use it as a main. i hear you on the quiver thing, ive given a ton of skate setups/stuff away, too many choices and the variance can just fuck with you. im still keeping an egg and bowl board on the side, just for when im in the mood for something different.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to be a strictly curb crusher, which currently stokes me out. It will sure last longer that way. Guess we'll see what kind of use it gets.

yeah, the lotti is 8.125 at the widest. running it with 139s and slim wheels. the shape def feels like a sub 8" deck.
looks like the only spot that has in stock is tgm....

Old skull has some, but only the screened ones. Great shop though so I definitely think its worth paying a little more just to support them.

The Lotti is around 7.75 at the front trucks and 7.5 at the back, so it skates like a very small deck. As much fun as it is, I have size 12 feet so I definitely struggle with finding the pockets sometimes, especially in cupsoles. There is a solution though...

The Enjoi Deedz 8.375 shape is literally just a wider lotti. It's the same length, wb, and mold so the kick angle is identical. I think its 8" at the back trucks and 8.12 (or maybe very slightly less) at the front, I don't feel like turning on the lights and walking across the room to check but I'm fairly certain thats what I measured it at. The only negative is the current graphic (the trucker hat one) kind of sucks, so you'd have to either try to find one of the previous ones (which aren't much better), wait for the next one, or just slap a bunch of stupid stickers on it and embrace the inherent goofiness of Enjoi. If you normally ride an 8-8.25 deck I'd definitely recommend going with the Deedz rather than the Lotti.

Post by: ok boomer on October 30, 2020, 07:05:18 AM
All boards should be released in that Lotti shape. I've had 3 of them, it's awesome (for me). Also helps that Lotti is one of my idols of course. If I could get a stockpile of that shape I would skate nothing else

no problem, watched a few times already and almost rage copped the 9.125” egg as well. Part so sick.  Searched through who else had one set up and with what gear. Someone had run ace 55’s on one too without much hot rod. But 6.1 151 159 any 8.75” trucks probably ideal.

I just copped the sock monster one, good to know that the shape comes from Heroin. I wish I could buy a Heroin deck but in Europe they sold out immediately.

Gonna try to setup with the ventures 6.1, works fine with the Girl 9.25 I'm currently riding.

I hope you all like the Villani egg! Feud I skated one in August, with with rails and 149 tensor atg’s. I also have a girl couch on 149 thunder lights. I really liked 149s on the egg.
I loved both boards for different reasons, the couch has a fuller nose/tail and the Villani is much more pointy. The Villani flipped slightly better imo, but the couch was great for shuvs and any 180/360s.
Also, I’m finding the primitive 8.25 shape is a good one for transitioning back to popsicles. It has a bigger tail than the Villani and the 14” wheelbase makes the whole board feel Familiar.

ha yeah noticed it sold out. Almost rage copped it after his part like a fanboy. But hearing about the pointy-ness maybe I wouldn’t of dug it as much. Think I’d like the 9.4 heroin space egg more

Lol, explain to me what a "rage cop" is. I could be a rage copper too, if it means what I think it does.

There is this Primitive 9.125 available in US. It's $70 though, Idk why, cuz the graphics? At least Primitive has coupons.

https://primitiveskate.com/collections/decks/products/villani-gaara-deck

I got a sock monster one and it's great, 3 stained plies and feels crisp AF. It is my first Primitive board. It has less concave than the Heroin eggs, as SundayNuggets was telling me before I grabbed mine. I like that, but I like anything from flat to medium steep. They all fit in that category. I honestly haven't skated it much, been skating my other shapes, I'm saving it for when I'm one with the force, and the force is with me. Thunder 151s, 51-53mm wheels, this thing feels way more snappy than it should. It feels like an 8.6 popsicle.

Rode my 7.81 eagle instead of lil snuff this morning. For the hills - great. But once I was at the spot I craved my lil snuff. Everything I do now is mega low impact anyway. I've got 52s on my 7.81 so maybe hills just felt better because of the wheel size but I love eggs

Orchard has one more Heroin 8.7 Soft Boiled Egg, on their website or on parade world. Someone here must want.

They would work on the 9.4 egg. Maybe a little hot rodding, but I prefer that to magic carpet. 169s will go on my space egg once I mount it up.

Thinking on that anatomy of egg

I shouldn't have read this thread either.

What trucks did you skate the Villani egg on?

Can anyone recommend me a perfect egg setup ? Wanna have a second setup for fun. Currently on a 7.625 that I love more than life itself but thinking it'd be fun to have a big boy the odd day.

yeah he rides 151’s. 6.1’s would work. Seen ace 55 as well here and I think 159. Any 8.75” truck.

How’s the space egg shape compare? Does it have a less pointy nose than the villani? Some top views here but tough to tell

I skated my Villani egg on 6.1, it was dreamy. I wonder how it would work on 159

Post by: TumKayo on November 08, 2020, 08:04:18 AM
I have 151 lights and 51mm wheels on the Villani. I set it up basically as the low riding “tech egg” in my quiver. Barely have ridden it tbh, thought I would more, because I do like it.

I bet the 9.125 razor egg would feel even more “tech”. Something about the razortop boards feel lighter and easier to manipulate.

I haven’t setup the space egg up yet, but the nose and tail look and feel bigger in hand. I’m thinking the 9.4 will feel better at the park. Will get some pics comparing the nose n tail later.

Post by: darkthrone on November 08, 2020, 04:47:53 PM
I'm running Indy 159's on the Gold Razoregg 9.125. Works perfect for me. I've ridden it with 149's and 169's but the 159's work best. Anything bigger than the 9.125 you probably need 169's. I've been telling Indy to make a 189 for ages now. Haven't tried those ACE 66's but they look good and like they might work well on boards that are around 10".

Fuck this thread, I thought I was done regarding having a second setup but after reading a little bit I remembered how much fun I had with my Villani egg and now I feel like one again.
Thinking on that anatomy of egg
[close]

I shouldn't have read this thread either.

What trucks did you skate the Villani egg on?

Can anyone recommend me a perfect egg setup ? Wanna have a second setup for fun. Currently on a 7.625 that I love more than life itself but thinking it'd be fun to have a big boy the odd day.

All boards they sell are $60, even stuff that’s normally $55 or $70. They don’t have free shipping, so it kind of all equals out anyways, unless you want a deck thats normally under $60.

I like that shop, I bought one of my big eggs from them and the St Baller. They shipped it out in a nice sized box with a lot of quality bubble wrap. Some of the other places I order from just send the decks in big boxes with no padding, and the decks can come dented or scratched from sloshing around during shipment.



The 10” egg wb is listed at 14.38”. But I measured it at a little over 14.4. My measurements could have been slightly off tho.

Just picked up this creature 8.8. I didn't need a deck but needed some consumer therapy and felt like supporting the local shop. Anyway, pretty stoked. Very similar to the Brown Bomber but shorter WB at 14". About 8.5 over the front axle and 8.38 over the back. Will likely use Ace 44s on this. I like Jay Howell's art also.

6.5" tail, 7" nose and 14" WB.  Both the tail and WB are about 1/4" shorter of the Brown Bomber. Maybe a tad steeper nose and tail than an average BBS deck but concave is not too abrupt.

I like the bigger Heroin eggs better than my Primitive Villani egg. I think the Villani egg tapers too thin in the nose for me.

I just mounted up my Space Egg and trying it out now, it’s great.

I want to sell my Villani egg along with a new 10” gold egg, but shipping is ridiculous

Deedz 8.375 football

This set up is perfect. I got a razor egg last month which is awesome but just too different than what I usually skate. This thing felt great right off the bat.

What trucks/wheels are you running? 5.6 high? I had mine on 5.2 hollow lows for a long time but recently swapped to Ace 03. I like them but I think I might go back to the ventures.

Wheels I was initially running some old F4 conicals that started as 53 but are around 50mm which is pretty ideal, but I picked up a set of 52mm (actually 51.5mm) NFG teardrops with the aces so I switched over to those and really like the way a thinner wheel feels  on it.

Also if you ever want to try a skinnier version the blind Brian Lotti showgirls reissue is the exact same in every way except its 8.12 at the widest (7.75 at front trucks and 7.5 at the back). I also saw one of the new almost decks has the same dimensions (8.375 x 32.6 14.2wb) but I'm not sure if it's a football or popsicle.

Generally speaking I like to use trucks that are about 1/4"+ narrower than the egg at its widest.

I have used 151s on the Phawt and Cardiel 9.18 and Crailtap 9.25
44s on the Chico (not really and egg but similar concept) ,Brown Bomber 8.8  and on the new 8.8 Creature Jay Howell.

I'm into it. I've got it set up with 53mm Conical Fulls as well and couldn't be happier with how it feels. With that said, I haven't tried it on wider trucks, or any other trucks for that matter so i'm not sure how it'd compare with anything else.

sometimes long winded ��but that pic is certainly worth posting in an egg thread! And I love the cracked egg grip on the golden egg. Would love to try the space and gold back to back. Both with 169. Seems like the owner is waiting on 215’s for the golden based on comments.

Had both I preferred the deedz.   It skated more like an 8.25.     The soft had more taper and skated more like an 8.     Also the tail seemed a bit short.   The deedz is more like a popsicle, but the slight taper gives it some flavor.

Anyone have the Space Egg and Very Big Eggs that can share how they differ and which you prefer? Obviously width and length difference, but would like to hear firsthand experiences.

This guy on instagram has both in the pic from the last page, so at least that would be a direct comparison.

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=100279.msg3467790#msg3467790

He seems pretty good to talk to and responds to questions.

The space egg has the razortop, which just means that the ply on top of the board is sharp edged and not routed down or rounded off, which is ok for some but not for others.

Though I haven’t tried it, I wish it wasn’t razortop. Just the traditionalist in me. Might as well give it a go though.

It is meant to give the rider more foot space on the deck, but as you said, from the couple I have had pass through my hands, both were retired early because the top chipped up, one ridiculously so in the first session so I have not bought any more with that kind of top.

Why doesn't any ever mention Franky villani on these type threads? Dude skates a 9.125 pro model on primitive and has for years.its funny because most villani decks you see in shops are the more 8 inch traditional popsicle sizes. For the masses. His real shape is a tad harder to find. Was skating crailtap football shapes until recently.

I believe I picked them up in an active sale for $30, but I currently setup a Prime wood Kris Markovich Circle K 8.1 egg shaped which I’m massively looking forward to skating.

I love his skating, hate his politics, but that’s neither here nor there as far as riding the decks.

I’m wondering without going back too far if any other companies offer a deck so skinny with an egg shape? I have a feeling this is gonna work out great for me.

I didn't see any replies, but if you want your wheels peeking out then 149s or if you want them tucked in 144s.  If you have them already you can swap and choose, but if not, then think about whether you want a little more truck stability on 149 or a little less on 144.

Might not help that much, but what else do you currently have setup?

I got both trucks luckily, and lately I’ve been riding big boy boards (8.75 popsicle and a few shaped over 9) so thought that might be a good way to size down my setup. I miss low effort kickflips haha.

We have an 8.9 coming out next month. The measurements are all taken in the middle of the board at the widest point and the way that the egg tapers a lot at the nose and tail means that where you flick your foot out to flip it (next to the front truck) is more like a 8.5.
The 9.125 which i ride is more comparable to an 8.75 or an 8.625 as far as the way it flicks I think.

I’ve ordered ordered from the glorious UK in the past, but now post brexit an additional 24% tax +handling fee +shipping, the deck will become too expensive to skate. Orders over 150 euro are also subject to further customs.

Gotta hoard some eggs when available, great shape and can’t really go back to a standard popsicle yet.

I dug this out and took some pics, which was the Cardiel Smokeless 9.2 egg from maybe a decade ago, but also have the Cardiel Carbine 9.18 deck still new in shrink too, which was from a couple of years ago now.

This one has 159s and 56mm wheels which work quite well on it, more info in the post.

Don't know much about this brand but some good prices on egg shaped decks:

https://www.imperfects.co/collections/skate

thanks for that link! checked it out and was intrigued that it's symmetrical like a twin tail.
ordered one when they were on sale, and it arrived yesterday.

(https://i.imgur.com/MxB9qOEl.png)

specs match what's listed online (except length is 1/8" longer)
8.75 x 31.75 - 14.5 WB - 8.25 wide at axles. 6.75 tail/nose
website says 'All of our skates are pressed and designed right here in San Diego by the most legendary skate factory in the world.' assuming that's Watson.

going to throw some aces on it to bring in the true wheelbase, and some 50mm (or smaller) wheels.
will snap a set up pic and get back on how it feels.

Brexit, what a pathetic shit show. It's going to fuck the UK up so much, and the whole thing was because the toffs didn't want to give up their tax havens, the EU were about to crack down on that and Cameron shat himself and bluffed that they were gonna leave and set this whole thing in motion. Terrible affair. Space Egg and Soft Boiled Egg just landed in the UK though if anyone needs em.

Well we also have other Euro distributors, it's hard to say who has what and who has orders coming, I don't personally do the sales. I know people have had a tough time getting stuff because of the drought though. We're trying. Hoping more boards will be available this year.
Villani 9.125 is still great, it's the shape that I designed, i said they could use that one.
Our U.S. web store ships to Europe in case you need to go that route.

I just set up a symmetrical egg sample and its working great so far. It's 9 x 32, and so far it's super functional. Those will be out in April, the 7.9 is a wild one, that's April too and I have a wild version of a 9.6 egg coming.

Next drop for us is Feb 2nd, and there's an 8.9 egg in that drop.

new WKND egg-ish shape.  Parade is low on details and only lists the width at 8.875.  Looks like it has a pretty severe taper towards the tail (or could just be the photo angle), which seems like that would be a nightmare trying to figure out which size trucks would be best.

That Coda shape looks nice, but what a terrible graphic.

I tried looking thru this thread, but didn't see it-

Anyone with the Heroin Soft Boiled 8.7, can you please tell me the wheelbase?

It's listed as 14.5 on a couple retailers, but that seems long.

Just picked the soft boiled up, 14.5 is pretty accurate

thanks! it's 8.25 wide at axles. lined up the bolt holes with the tail end of an antihero eagle 8.06. same taper/shape.

First time I tried it I had thunder 161 standard. While I like the wider grinding surface I prefer the height and turn of the 159 Indy. The 8.75 trucks made it a little more nimble and shrank the wb a bit. I like the ace trucks too but I like how the indys grind better.

We have a small run on the Very Big Eggs coming back in stock soon, they’re on order. It’s been hard keeping up with supply to be totally honest, I’d love to be able to offer every single egg size that we’d ever done, but it’s not possible at the moment.
Next catalog we have a 7.9 egg, a symmetrical 9.0 that I’m riding the sample for right now and loving it, and a wild 9.6 one that looks like it’s going to be really interesting.

The Eraseregg we just put out is the exact same shape as the Fried Egg. As for the 7.9, not sure, Indy 129's or 139's? Or the Little Aces or Thunders? I had lot of folks asking about a smaller Egg shape, so i went pretty small with that one, It's 7.5 above the trucks.

Indy 144 seems to be a great fit here, the board is about 8.25-8.3 over the bolts. You could prob get away with 149s if you don’t mind a lil hot rodding.

Alright. After lurking for a while I pulled the trigger. Well bullied my wife into buying me an egg for Valentine’s Day.  I must say, this might be the perfect shape.

FOS - I know you lurk here every now and then but goddamn you’re brilliant. Shape is perfect and for the love of god thank you for keeping a shorter wheel base in the line 14.125/14.25 is perfect. 14.5 feels like a boat to me. Also the razor top is brilliant too. Love it.

Will probably switch to SF CF 53mm 99a once the small wheel charm wears off. Not crazy on razortop, gonna sand the edge down a bit before I catch a shinner. Felt weird gripping a board with a sharp top.

Thanks for the info, I'm based in Europe so even if I have to pay taxes, it's still easy to get stuff from UK.

I would prefer a shorter WB but's really hard to get any Heroin Egg online in Europe. Super limited stocks and shops usually don't put them online.

been looking for an egg that i can use with 159's.

i've been thinking about getting that chocolate couch shape, drilling the nose to be shorter and using that as the tail. drilling a board seems easy in theory but maybe hard in practice. like how do i get the thing to stay completely still?

I didn't even see your reply until after I posted and went back to check, but yes, same thoughts!


Can anyone recommend an egg shaped deck for 147 thunders ?

Most egg shaped boards taper a lot, so the 8.3 DLX egg is about right for 8 inch wide trucks over the bolts, Cromer Waving Hand or other Krooked boards, but they might be a bit scarce depending on where you live.  There are still some in Australia.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Krooked-Cromer-Waving-Hand-8-38-Skateboard-Deck/324215631441

It is also known as "Lil snuff" or "football shape" but it is the same board.

Yeah the Bighead yellow ones. They actually roll pretty decent. I've cruised on the board about 5 times to 7-11 and to a few spots. Have not had a problem with cracks/rocks or anything. Only complaint is that I've had to adjust my bearings in them twice. As in smush them in again twice. 2 wheels became a little stuck. Never had that before, unless my 1992 memory is off. I just remember flatspots from then. I usually use 52 Bigheads, BUT I think I may size down to 50 from now on. I've got some 52mm F4s on my 7.81, and I may be in the minority, but I think I like the cheaper wheels better. Albeit, because I'm used to them.

I've got some boardycakes 44s that I'm pondering using on my Lotti showgirls (I bought this to hang, but the shape is perfection - I may not contain myself. I've set it up twice then took the trucks back off - ha).

Broke my Deedz football on flat tonight. :(

TBF, it was 34°, and I landed hard on the nose a handful of times.

Board was great though! R7s stay super crisp.

I think the Deedz is too narrow for my size 11s. Flip tricks were great on it, but slides and even crooks were harder with the narrow nose & tail. Plus my 8.25" trucks are a little wide and I don't want to buy a new set.

Here's to hoping for a 8.5-8.75 football, 8.25 over the trucks and <14.25 wheelbase.

currently on one and youre correct, its tiny relative to almost everything. really good for quick, snappy pop and it works well with my timing. gotta skate it backwards on flatbars, took one split to figure that out.

switch with the small nose has to be great, will try and sw flip it after i heal up.

been skating the boiled egg recently, very good board however I think I prefer the 8.9 fried egg I had last time. Had them on 148s which work quite well.

One thing that bums me out about the heroin decks however is the “razor top” thing, the board chips like crazy which isn’t too bad of an issue it just looks crap .

I also skated the girl love seat on the 148s however I felt that the board was too short almost, too blunt compared to the heroin shape. However the girl deck did not even chip.

Question to you guys, I’ve noticed the way sharper noses help me do flip tricks much easier (kickflips at least) as I for the life of me can’t skate these new really blunt shapes every brand seems to be pumping out right now. Is this the same for you guys?

Been thinking of trying the 148s on either the new 8.9 heroin eg gor the 8.8 frog one that just got released. Also yea my kickflips suffer a fair ammount on blunt nosed boards aswell. Its either I do one really well or just completly fuck up my flick.

go for it, with my first egg i was shitting it thinking they wouldn't fit but if you don't mind a little magic carpet it's pretty good. i think a little magic carpet works well with these boards anyway. the thunder 148 is in my worthless opinion the most versatile truck between 8.125-9.

My stack of "to be skated" boards consists of all eggs:

Girl 9.0" loveseat
Grimple 8.75" Gerwer egg
Frog 8.8" Alba egg

Been on a shaped board tip, psyched to set one up soon.

Does anyone know of an egg that's 8.25-8.5? I know there was that Krooked Cromer but I can't find it in stock anywhere.

Any other options out there?

Enjoi Deedz 8.38" egg seems nice.

Yeah, if AH puts out their shaped eagles again at any point the Black Widow was the 8.5" version of the Cromer snuff. Also I think Heroin might be putting out an egg in the range you're looking for at some point.

9.25 BL snake n rat egg
159 hollows
big balls
52 bones 100s v4

fun shape, i like the 14.5 WB, but i'm a little thrown off by the longer tapered nose, especially in the shovel nose era. not sure of its intended function, i guess.

I really want the white dipped version as my smaller wheel, mini-ramp/flatground easy rider. w/ some Ace 55s and 53mm wheels. Any more thoughts on the shape, what works with it, and what doesnt?

i've got the white dip sitting around too, looks better imo. i'm probably not the best guy to ask honestly, i have been mostly seshing my main popsicle board in the park. if you've ever skated an egg/football, then you kind of have an idea. they scoop and flip easier, with a little less pop as the downside. the things unique about this one are the longer wheelbase, mid to steep concave/kicks, rounded tail with a longer, pointy nose.

overall i dig the shape and think it would be good for what you wanna do with it, i have it set up similar to your description. only thing that throws me off is the tapered nose, i'm so used to seeing boards that taper the opposite way. maybe it makes it a little more nimble, at the expense of noseslides?

Crossposted in Setup.

So yeah, I am running a couple of setups and have some gear on standby. I dont really love the consumerism BUT I am working to find that goldilocks setup for me for skating my mini and learning on it...the primary problem being that I am a big ass dude and I am learning to control speed, and bringing down wheel size seems to help, also I need the board to be slightly more nimble, so I am down to a 14.5 WB...so without further adieu....and with much Shalom to @Freelancevagrant here's the Jake the Snake I just picked up.

could be that the nose is smaller cause of the way eggs taper, so your foot is missing the flick or hitting it weird. or maybe you aren't used to a short wheelbase. either way i'd say keep trying, but don't force it.

I was going to say probably from the taper of the nose and the wheelbase. Try sliding your front foot back and angle it  towards the nose just a smidge more than your used too. When i first started skating eggs that’s what I had to do and make small adjustments there after.

It will click, and you will never look back.

My cat passed away recently and decided to join the Egg Club and take my mind off things.  RIP Milo the cat.

Never skated with Primitive before but I am REALLY into the shape.  Using this to skate around our DIY park (think lots of tranny).  Not too stoked on the graphic but whatever.

I think this may be the perfect setup for me at the moment, not really sure if I would change a thing.  These kinds of shapes / dimensions are hard to find right now in Europe.

Coming from an 8.5 with 149's, I was really surprised to be able to float some bs/fs ollies and 360s out over the coping.  I haven't had an all-new complete in awhile, so the stoke is very high.

Yes, and embossed(?) .  Reminds of an everslick.  Coming from decades of stained wood so who knows

Alright. After lurking for a while I pulled the trigger. Well bullied my wife into buying me an egg for Valentine’s Day.  I must say, this might be the perfect shape.

FOS - I know you lurk here every now and then but goddamn you’re brilliant. Shape is perfect and for the love of god thank you for keeping a shorter wheel base in the line 14.125/14.25 is perfect. 14.5 feels like a boat to me. Also the razor top is brilliant too. Love it.

Actually, starting from this catalog, the measurements will be from the center of the holes, from listening to feedback and something that Professor Schmitt posted about that the other day. So this next catalog (Which I just finished laying out) has the width and lengths, as well as the wheelbases listed.

Yep, the new Heroin Egg boards have started shipping to stores. So they're up on some shop sites now.
The 7.9 Lil' Egg, the 9.0 Symmetrical Egg, and Dead Dave's Mutant Egg actually came back at 9.4 for some reason.
I'll post more detailed specs when the new catalog drops on the 11th.

Thx . That mutant egg looks so good

Hey Fos Just wondering socal sk8shop has the 7.9 lil egg listed with a 14.25 wb ?
Is this correct.?  I remember asking and you said 14'
[close]

That's because @darkthrone measures wb from the inside edge of the holes as opposed to the center of the holes.

Actually, starting from this catalog, the measurements will be from the center of the holes, from listening to feedback and something that Professor Schmitt posted about that the other day. So this next catalog (Which I just finished laying out) has the width and lengths, as well as the wheelbases listed.

damn, is this going to become a new thing between each brand?
im not against it, because it makes more sense center to center, but this will be like a new truck sizing fiasco/measuring flat across the board vs through the concave king of thing.

Still looking for an 8.25 x 32 or over in an egg shape. ATM had an interesting “pointy nose” deck but I waited too long.

The cromer lil snuff is 8.38 x 31.7 with a 14.12 wb

Only thing I can think of the dome.

Also fos, that mutant egg is a beauty. Can’t wait for the next drop to see the rest.

Haven't seen a length or wb on it but I haven't looked that hard either. And there's always the deedz.

Orchard messed up this listing i believe.  The deck they pictured is actually the 8.875 wknd football shape.  The 8.375 shape is a more square-tail pointy-nose kinda deal.
edit: here's a photo of the 8.375 shape (yellow) and the 8.875 (pink)

Alright. After lurking for a while I pulled the trigger. Well bullied my wife into buying me an egg for Valentine’s Day.  I must say, this might be the perfect shape.

FOS - I know you lurk here every now and then but goddamn you’re brilliant. Shape is perfect and for the love of god thank you for keeping a shorter wheel base in the line 14.125/14.25 is perfect. 14.5 feels like a boat to me. Also the razor top is brilliant too. Love it. 

I think I’m a believer.

Can’t wait to try that football (symmetrical egg).

I feel like we should start making a distinction between footballs and eggs.

You really want to fill this thread with nerds getting all worked about if the widest part is close enough to the middle or not and fighting over that very relative distinction? Plus, is it actually even a football if it isn't symmetrical?

That is a can of worms best left unopened.

A little bit of carpet feeling on the front truck. 8.6" on the front truck and 8.3" on the back truck. The back truck flush nicely. Was either going for the 151s/159/55s.

Ace 44, 3 washers inside each wheel, Indy risers
Spitfire 97a Conical Full 56mm
Reds/Jessup/Habitat 1" allen

Maiden voyage of this setup and I am very psyched. I was worried it would feel too small, but it doesn't. The nose feels substantial than on my cruiser and slappy crooks and noseslides go. The wheels are my new favorites, too.

I have been wanting to skate another egg for awhile but I was on the fence. These setup pics kept haunting me. It just looks so fun so I caved and ordered the same deck. Thanks for the egg inspo.

Fun setup, Good board. I haven't been skating it because I am in a "I don't skate shapes because they will inevitably stop making them" phase. It has been sitting in my stack, I might break it back out and skate it with some 159s.

That’s such a wild wheelbase. Axel Cruysberghs rides Thunders now (3.18 inch WB extension). Brings it to a nearly 18 inch wheelbase board/truck combo.

Skate warehouse has that axel wb @14.3.    I think the earlier version was 8.5 with the longer wheelbase.   He posted on his story that it’s based off heroin egg.

The old ones were PS and were 8.5 with a 14.75wb. I bought one without bothering to look at the wb and really, really wanted to like it but I just can't do those long wb decks.

The new ones are BBS so a different mold and dimensions I'm sure. Interestingly enough, the picture on skate warehouse made it look like the mold is really mellow, something I haven't seen from a BBS board since they stopped making low-pros.


I know I'm late on this deal but if you like the deedz shape or just smaller footeggball decks in general TGM has them on sale right now. $44 for one and $83 for 2, free shipping, and if you read this before the sale ends on monday you can get 10% off with the code mem10

Can’t wait to try that football (symmetrical egg).

I feel like we should start making a distinction between footballs and eggs.
[close]

You really want to fill this thread with nerds getting all worked about if the widest part is close enough to the middle or not and fighting over that very relative distinction? Plus, is it actually even a football if it isn't symmetrical?

That is a can of worms best left unopened.

Feels pretty wild with the classic 55s on, not quite as cramped as the Theories Special Delivery shape but it's definitely compact and responsive.

Just got one of these in the mail and I have to admit, I am not sure which is supposed to be the nose and tail?? Is the tail really 7" and nose 6.5"?

Just measured mine and the nose is 7.125" and the tail is 6.625", w/ a 14.25" WB and a 32" overall length (all of this is without pressing the tape). Did you get a weird one? What does the WB on yours measure?
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Frank and Fred on June 04, 2021, 06:17:59 AM
14.38" wheelbase. Nose and tail are actually closer to your measurements... The stamp, graphics and sticker have alll thrown me off as to what's supposed to be tail/ nose... I think its intentional haha. I'm just assuming the tail is shorter and more pulled in like always. What also threw me off was I have been riding the Cardiel football/ egg and that is wider in the tail and narrower up front...

Thy look very similar from the top pic, with the taper towards the back and the nose being a little more blunt than the tail.  That being said, never skated the Kelch.

It is a good board, though definitely the flattest DLX I've ever seen in my life. I don't remember what the Roman numeral was, but it is South Central e-mold flat. Could just be where it sat in the press but I am into it.

where the heck did you find one? 169's with some wide wheels will work, especially if you put extra washers on the inside. 77's would be a perfect fit if you want to spend the money.

Big egg fan checking in. I’ve been riding the Tired™️ board for a bit and I think by far it’s my favourite shape. The Joel boards are rad. It was so hard to find over here. I ended up getting it from a scooter/longboard shop a million miles away. Stoked I found it. I was riding it with 44mm boardys cakes but I’ve taken them off. I found that the 48mm spitfires are perfect. The Indy’s in the pic are from 99? and if you blow on the axel they move ha.

Here’s the dimensions of the two:

Phawt:

Here’s the dimensions of the two:

Phawt:
Width: 9.125
Length: 32.625
Wheelbase: 14.75

cardiel huffer:
Width: 9.18
Length: 32.62
Wheelbase: 14.82

If you hold them up together they're exactly the same, at least that was the case when I had one of each. DLX likes to put wacky numbers so that those of us with OCD will bug out.

The Phawt is good. People have a thing against the Craig wood because it used to suck, but now it is pretty nice.

I concur. Basically the same dims with different wood. I measure the Huffer shape at a 14.74 wheelbase also...

I think there is a new wider Grimple Egg due out this summer (bigger WB also)

and more importantly,

a cardiel huffer model again.

OMG cant fuckin wait to try that shape! I'm always switchin back and forth the 8.75 and 9.0 classic eagle and thinking how the Cardiel shape looks like the perfect middle ground... So pumped \^-^/

Hands down, the best shape ever made.

Oof. I'm crossing fingers that my local will order ASAP!

Isn't the Girl "phawt" shape the exact same?  I thought they made it for Cory because he kept skating those cardiel boards.

I’d probably prefer the phawt these days, I like the latest Craig wood.

I had two of those Cardiel huffers. Shape was really fun. It’s a beast tho. Unbreakable. Bbs back then was better than it is now imo.
Anyways finding the right trucks always trips me out, I tried it with 159s, 169s, 151 hollow lights. Maybe liked it best with the thunders....

55 Classics, no washers inside. 44 classics are just too small on that one, I tried it once and even as a fan of the magic carpet it looked insane.

Yeah, the Cardiel Huffer shape really needs an 8.75" truck. Classics 55s work well enough. AF1 55s with wide wheels could work but might be pushing it.

No problem. I'm running Venture V-Titanium 5.8 with a 1/8" spacer on each axle to push the wheels out a tiny bit. My old legs don't really let me skate bigger than a 8.12" to 8.38" so the Heroin will probably end up as a cruiser.

If you're a fan of symmetrical eggs, the two other ones I know that are currently out are the 8.8" Creature Gardner deck and a small company called Imperfects that makes an 8.75 "Eggball" shape https://www.imperfects.co/collections/decks-only

Non-egg symmetrical shapes opens up options from Flip, Deathwish, Santa Cruz, and Krooked/Real.

I bought one but have not set it up yet (my backlog of decks to try is stacking up). The finish is really nice and they feel sturdy, maybe a little heavier than a normal board. Later I could snap some specific pictures if people wanna see the concave or a top down. I was worried that it would be a cruiser only board, but it seems like you can set it up for street/park.

I’d be interested to see some photos. I’m curious how it compares to the Heroin Sym Egg. Concave, steepness, top down etc. Their site says the decks are designed and pressed in San Diego.

imperfects - symmetrical/twin tail
8.75 x 31.75 - 14.5 WB - 8.25 wide at axles. 6.75 tail/nose
found a use for the indy 144 mids
spitfire 80 chargers (down to about 50mm) bones super reds
rolled around in front of the house, low and stable
only thing not stock are the bushings, threw in krux 92a barrels. felt a bit stiff, not sure if was the fact it's sub 30 degrees out. may put the stock indy 90a back in.
this board will be a curb/manny pad/cruiser
[close]

Looks sick, what do you think? How much does it taper to around the bolts, and then how wide is it halfway between the bolts and the tip of the nose/tail? Also any idea what woodshop they use?
[close]

thanks! it's 8.25 wide at axles. lined up the bolt holes with the tail end of an antihero eagle 8.06. same taper/shape.
website says 'All of our skates are pressed and designed right here in San Diego by the most legendary skate factory in the world.' assuming that's Watson.

reviving this post w/ pics from an imperfects i got this past winter.
i usually skate 8" - 8.25" decks.
this egg feels great, super fun around the streets, has a little life left in it.

Was at the shop recently and they had the cardiel and I just had to pick it up. Super stoked been waiting for this shape to come back forever. Gonna run ace 55 classics and then switch between my cruiser wheels and cardiel 55mm f4 tablets depending on what I’m skating.

Orchard messed up this listing i believe.  The deck they pictured is actually the 8.875 wknd football shape.  The 8.375 shape is a more square-tail pointy-nose kinda deal.

If you're looking for something 8.25" at the trucks than you're really looking for a 8.75ish egg. I actually have an 8.6" 917 board that's about those dims you're describing.

i have one and while i don't have a ton of miles or super interesting things done on it - it's fun, feels solid/sturdy -  like some others have mentioned. my only very small complaint is that the kicks are steeper than i'd prefer but it's nothing i'd call 'too steep'. i'd buy another when this one runs out of steam. hth

hv any idea which woodshop their boards are from?

I got the Deedz 8.375 football shape because I had an extra pair of Ace 33s as mentioned earlier, and I’m not liking this combo, magic carpet ride with classic Spits. I kept slipping out of grinds alot. I’ve been riding Ace 44s with 3 washers on the inside on 8.5 FA so it might have been just that as well. The deck itself felt easier to manuever due to the size and shape.

imperfects - symmetrical/twin tail
8.75 x 31.75 - 14.5 WB - 8.25 wide at axles. 6.75 tail/nose
found a use for the indy 144 mids
spitfire 80 chargers (down to about 50mm) bones super reds
rolled around in front of the house, low and stable
only thing not stock are the bushings, threw in krux 92a barrels. felt a bit stiff, not sure if was the fact it's sub 30 degrees out. may put the stock indy 90a back in.
this board will be a curb/manny pad/cruiser
[close]

Looks sick, what do you think? How much does it taper to around the bolts, and then how wide is it halfway between the bolts and the tip of the nose/tail? Also any idea what woodshop they use?
[close]

thanks! it's 8.25 wide at axles. lined up the bolt holes with the tail end of an antihero eagle 8.06. same taper/shape.
website says 'All of our skates are pressed and designed right here in San Diego by the most legendary skate factory in the world.' assuming that's Watson.

Is there a good egg that goes down to about 8" at the axles? Looking to get the most out of these 139s, but like a little more real estate on the board

Edit: I'm an idiot. Top of the page has one

yeah, they were sold out within minutes it went up on the heroin site. but they said more will be available. i'm hoping bakerboys will hv them in stock soon. i cant buy thru heroin's site coz the don't ship to my country, but bakerboys distribution does.

Good call.  Getting sick of missing stuff because I’m not tied to a screen all day. I was kinda pumped for a minute when I happened to check yesterday 8 minutes after they went on sale.

Posted this in setups but thought Id post it here
8.75 frog
5.8 ventures

Big fan of the slimmer egg a 9 inch egg scares me
This guys a lot of fun for flip tricks feels like an 8.5 not so fun on transition or doing nose and tail slides, would definitely cop another 8.75 egg hopefully heroin puts out more soft boiled eggs

riding heroin mutant egg 9.6"x 32" 14.5"wb egg shape deck. loving it as an all around setup. i usually ride a 8" deck with a 14" wb for street. so timing is a little off but the egg shape helps the board spin around a little easier.

That shape looks pretty fun.

Side note: I used to fantasize about starting a company called 92 Skateboards. This was I think 2009.
Obviously based on that egg/ football shaped era. I wanted huge striped shirts and huge jeans, flat billed hats.
And of course egg shapes. My wife totally encouraged me to do this and bought me all this art stuff so I could create.
In reality, I'd sit in the "art room" and smoke cigarettes, drink, and play Skate 2 or 3 and get exactly 0 done.

Fast forward to 2019, we are in NZ to visit her fam, and I go into Boardertown (skate shop), flipping though the gear and run into some "91 skateboards" shirts. She saw this also and we were schrocked to say the least. Anyway, cool company and good on them for actually following through with an idea.

P.S. I still fantasize about this idea, but with my lack of follow through and the 15 minutes of time I get to myself a day, this will never happen.

@GBLange Tail is pointier yes. In real life the outline is more eggy. Hoping to get my 360 flips back. It has been a few months since I've done one.

Madness is Dwindle/DSM wood; stiff and crispy; of the two Madness I have ridden I found them a tad heavier than like  shape/size from other brands.

The Madness shape looks perfect. I wish it was 9.25" or more, I need eggs to be close to or wider than 9" at the trucks. Hoping for more big eggs. The Heroin one is impossible to get in Europe, even when checking UK stores.

My first egg

Surprisingly nimble for 9", in hindsight I probably should have gone with 151s as the 161s stick out ever so slightly due to the taper but no biggie (I knew going in they'd stick out a bit), I like the grind room.

Not sure I notice anything special about the razoredge construction...tho it did help with trimming grip, so win?

Swapped out the 52mm 101 snots after the first sticky tail slide....they're no F4/STFs when it comes to slide but they grip and roll smoothly.

Thanks! Yeah, if I had to do it again, I'd 151 it. I'm going to try some 159s I've got on hand (and possible 149s), but have really been feeling thunders lately...and of course I just bought the 161s

It's the smallest amount, it's a tiny portion of the nut and wheel...I went by the heroin site description that it was 8.6 *above* the trucks but it's really 8.6 across (lined up with the axle)...149s on an 8.25 is visually much worse. I'm assuming the 159s with being more tucked in and closer in length that I wouldn't see it at all.

It's basically 9" dead middle, then tapers to 8.75, then 8.6/8.5; eggs taper, I should have known better :P

@Frank and Fred

I put 8.5s (tensor ATGs) on today and they line up perfectly: nut is flush-ish with the edge, corner/edge of the wheel lines up at the kicks too); it was a blast and even more nimble than before (tensors tighten up the wheelbase a bit/lighten the whole thing up).

You could still go either way with the 8.6 width at the trucks/with that taper, but I think Villani has the right idea vs wider at the taper.

Moved the 161s over to an 8.625" (14" wb) and they are much less visible now/kick out the wheelbase a bit more so win/win.

I tried 6.1s on my symmetrical egg and it didn't feel right to me, Ace 55 were real good. Kills me to say it because I love Ventures. Such an amazing shape, I miss mine.

Post by: Frank and Fred on August 08, 2021, 08:37:21 PM
Been having a similar dilemma on my Uma 9" egg. I spent the day skating flatground and rotating between Venture 6.1s and Ace AF1 55s. OCD insanity. I think I have landed on the AF1s as unlike the Heroin symmetrical egg the UMA tapers even closer to 8.5" over the back truck. I was happy rotating between Thunder 151s and Ace but now I have added Venture to the mix, I think my sanity is in real jeopardy. Might just have to pass them on to save myself.

8.5" on the symmetrical egg is the right choice unless you prefer hotrodding. 8.75" would work but didn't want to dismantle my 8.8 to fuck with them on the egg.

I feel you! Thankfully my egg is symmetrical so I didn't have to worry too much. When it doubt, size to the front (unless you are skating something weird).

What's the taper on the Uma 9" egg?
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Frank and Fred on August 08, 2021, 08:50:44 PM
The Uma egg with AF1 55s is 8 5/8" at the front axle and tapers to 8.5" at the back axle. Venture 6.1s fit just fine but I wanted my wheels tucked in a little bit for this board as the whole point was to get busy with some flatground flip trickery. If I really wanted to nerd out I think Venture 5.8s would suit this board best but I am not buying more trucks at this juncture.

it's even harder to find in south east asia, especially from where i come from bcoz no shops are carrying Heroin products. but i got lucky with the heroin symmetrical egg. snag all 2 decks that arrived at Preduce Skateshop which is located in Thailand. i only know of CCS & bakerboysdistribution that ships to Malaysia.

Hope this isn’t a dumb question: what kind of skating do you like to do on your eggs/footballs? I have some extra Indy 149s that I think could be kinda fun with an egg, for slappies and curb skating. Thoughts? I pretty much gave up flipping my board a few years ago due to injuries, so I just like to skate fun shapes for transition and curbs these days.

I just skate them like a regular board. I’m not sure if I would skate a non-egg board anymore. I mainly skate ledges but also skate transition a fair amount. I feel like eggs skate way more like a regular board than most other shaped boards. At this point regular boards look kind of weird to me. They are too square. Eggs are just as functional but feel more surfy and fun so I would definitely say go for it.
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Frank and Fred on August 14, 2021, 09:13:59 PM
Same. I mostly use them for flat ground, curbs and other low-impact street stuff but I use them in the bowls and pools also. With an egg you can skate a wider board that responds like a narrower board.  You can get away with trucks 1/4" to 1/2" narrower than the wide point due to the way they taper, but a truck that fits the wide point of the deck will also work if you want a more stable ride. The pulled in tails and noses are good for flip tricks but the width in the middle makes it feel more secure on transition and fun and functional on curbs. At least that's my theory. I learned most of my flip tricks on eggs in the early 90s and riding them again is helping me relearn some. Maybe not so great for nose/ tails slides... but I haven't really noticed. I'm currently on a 9" egg after riding an 8.5" popsicle (same wb) but the egg is working so much better for flip tricks.

They just look aesthetically pleasing also. Just a nostalgic functional shape. (Can't go back to sub 50mm wheels though, so it s a bit of compromise)

Thoughts? I pretty much gave up flipping my board a few years ago due to injuries, so I just like to skate fun shapes for transition and curbs these days.

I think that eggs work best for flat, curbs, and smaller stuff, just like they were historically used. I realize modern eggs are steeper and have longer wheelbase but still.

Thinking about the shape for a minute, tapered kicks make for better scoop and flip, and the wide middle compared to the kicks make for an easy catch. On the other hand the small kicks compared to the overall width make for less leverage so less pop.

I kind of disagree that they are transition oriented, I find more blunt/full shapes work on transition, but if you end up loving the eggs you can skate them on anything, if you want.

true true..the eggball shape just screams fun on any type of skating.mowadays with companies making short wheelbases like 13.875"/14", you can get pretty technical street skating also.

my heroin soft boiled egg measures the tiniest bit over 8" above the axle, maybe 8 1/16". mine also measures 8.5" at the widest point. not sure if i just ended up with a weird one or if all of them measured smaller than the published specs.

You are totally right. I think I was thinking of how pointy the nose and tail are. Definitely doesn’t feel like 8.7 but it must be right at it’s widest point. Sorry y’all. My bad. It’s super fun though.

There are a lot of great eggs on the market right now and what I’ve been told is that a lot more are going to be dropping shortly.

I also felt that this was appropriate to post here. The group of dudes I skate with call ourselves the Eggboyes, mostly because we all skate eggs or have one in rotation but also because we’re older and egg shaped. We’re in the early stages of making a little homie video.

The last few days I’ve taken my adderall too late in the day and been staying up too late. A few nights ago I started fucking around piecing together an opening track for the homie video, Eggboyes 1: Over Easy. I finished the short intro and to make it goofier and fun to share I added a bunch of dumb egg pictures and uploaded it to youtube. The instrumental is “DoomShop Type Beat” produced by Lord Lorenz.

Anybody who actually skated in the 90s able to say if that magenta board shape is accurate?

Seems like that shape is upside down. I'm probably wrong and only know boards from the late 90s but I remember boards having a lot of taper towards tiny tails.
Some older skater even explained that's why people pushed switch mongo to me. Because you keep your foot on the wider section

Between 90-94 boards changed so much and shapes and dimensions were still drastically all over the place.
its almost subjective as in, that shape is probably accurate to someone..

Agree with this reply, but I also agree that the magenta shape looks a bit 'off' with how much it tapers towards the nose.  It's kind of like a skinnier cardiel shape or CK phawt.   I prefer the taper to go the other way on these 90s shapes.

From a very quick search, this one might be almost there, before they really dipped to a "nothing" tail, but I wanted to find an image of the top of the board.

These old catalogs from 1993 are good, but it might be harder to make out the individual shapes as easily.  The red Woodstock top right is also that wide front taper to minimal tail that is being talked about.

* Easier to open in another window, as they are good quality images and don't show up well enough just in the embedded image option.

Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: animalflesh on September 03, 2021, 06:57:49 AM
A lot of stuff

The board has more real estate in the middle to make setup more comfortable

Tapered kicks makes flicking easier

Tapered kicks makes crooked grinds and slappies easier

Wide center makes the board tip easier so better for flip tricks and more centered on shuv tricks

Wide center also makes good leverage for slappies

Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Frank and Fred on September 07, 2021, 03:38:00 PM
Eggs tend to taper at least .25" to .5" from the wide point to the trucks,  so I'd say get an 8.25 to 8.5" egg for your 147s...

But honestly, I recommend going bigger and getting some 149s for a better egg experience.

Post by: listentoaheartbeat on September 10, 2021, 02:42:07 AM
This is the board I didn't need, my fourth one in fact, and it's where I will stop with the setup madness (hopefully). But hell, I cannot wait to skate this thing. I remember I was still riding a late 80s board as a kid when big pants and small wheels started popping up in magazines, and I thought it looked magical. I don't recall ever riding an egg back then, even though I had 40 mm wheels at some point. Was thinking about getting the "really" sml. wheels but love F4 too much.

Went for a lunch break session yesterday. So much fun indeed though you really need to watch out for cracks. I wouldn’t want to push long distances on this but could do Slides and Shove-Its all day.

Set it up for low impact flat and curb sessions, and it’s perfect for that. Really nice shape with a medium to deep concave. Wood feels good, too. I wish the WB was shorter, might drill some extra holes.

Yeah, they are the Lil’ Smokies that some shops carry at a lower price than other F4 wheels. The 48mm ones are also available as Tablets.

I have some 144(8.25’) indy’s that I’m not using. What would be the biggest egg I could ride on them?

People have said it is roughly .25" to .5" difference in widest point to with over axles, so most likely an egg in the 8.5 to 8.75 width range would work well enough.

It also depends on where you like your trucks to sit in relation to the deck, so if you like a magic carpet ride, you can easily go for wider than 8.5 but if you want your wheels on the edge then a board that is not so wide might work better.

As asked by Nth syd bear, the wheels will also add width, if you had wider wheels, you could have a wider board.


I think I have seen the Enjoi Deedz 8.375 deck with 144s on it here before.

One here from the Setups thread (with 5.6 = 144 truck size):

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=10804.msg3440899;topicseen#msg3440899



In the Polar shapes thread, someone has the 8.75 with 149s on it, but I have seen people ride that with smaller trucks, three washers on the inside and normal wheels, which didn't look so out of place.

Check the Polar shapes thread:

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=112584.450


P9 as per the Polar thread, has 8.5 over the front and 8.25 over the back so it would work easily enough.

As for the concave, pretty standard for BBS wood, normal medium concave feeling on the boards.

You can look at the Woodshop thread for other boards from BBS if you are not sure:

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=116070.0


Personally, I feel like this board / trucks / wheels combo would be pretty good to skate, given they are the same brands I usually ride, if not Polar specifically, at least the wood (even though I do have Polar boards set up in my ride pool).

Ok y'all, I'm taking the plunge. Just ordered a Quasi "pool skater face" 9" egg to set up with my Indy 149s and some f4 53mm classics. Yes, those wheels are 'small' by my usual standards. Weirdly small wheelbase (I believe under 14"!), which I'm actually hyped to try. After several months exclusively skating a 14.125" wb Polar Dane 1, I'm not sure I ever need to go bigger.

Hello everyone, this is my first time here on this forum. A quick dumb intro: (Skip to 2nd paragraph if you want) I just started skating a few months ago in June using some birthday money to get my first board. I had always wanted to skate as a kid but never got a chance too (I'm 25 now by the way). Up to now I've had my first board a Welcome 8.25 and then a Girl 8.0 both being popsicle shaped. I was only skating at my local skatepark and got most of the riding basics down, my ollies are still a work in progress. Then I decided I wanted to get something a little bigger to cruise around the streets. So a couple of weeks ago I went to my local skate shop where I've been getting all my gear and they had a big deck with an egg on it. I immediately fell in love with the art style and thought the shape was quirky so I got the board and made it my first cruising setup. It's a Heroin Eraser Egg 8.9 paired with 149 indy trucks and 60mm ricta clouds. I've been enjoying it very much but now that I'm getting more comfortable on the street I been wanting to start doing a little street skating. I didn't want to mess with my cruising board...

So I went to my skate shop again and asked If they had another "egg" deck and behind the counter they had another Heroin board even bigger than the first one. I'm not yet accustomed to seeing such big boards, can't help but smile every time I see one, anyways I bought it. It's a Heroin Space Egg 9.4, I'm really liking this brand. My plan is to learn how to skate curbs and any other low ledges since my ollies aren't that great yet. I figured this wide deck would help with that Wide deck = wide trucks. Now the reason I'm here lol, question what height trucks would work best for this kind of setup and what size and shape wheels? From reading some of the previous pages it would seem smaller conical wheels are a popular choice. Also I see some setups using those plastic slide rails, would those help me do board slides easier or are they more of a gimmick? Any advice is much appreciated thanks!

I've been enjoying it very much but now that I'm getting more comfortable on the street I been wanting to start doing a little street skating. I didn't want to mess with my cruising board...

So I went to my skate shop again and asked If they had another "egg" deck and behind the counter they had another Heroin board even bigger than the first one. I'm not yet accustomed to seeing such big boards, can't help but smile every time I see one, anyways I bought it. It's a Heroin Space Egg 9.4, I'm really liking this brand. My plan is to learn how to skate curbs and any other low ledges since my ollies aren't that great yet. I figured this wide deck would help with that Wide deck = wide trucks. Now the reason I'm here lol, question what height trucks would work best for this kind of setup and what size and shape wheels? From reading some of the previous pages it would seem smaller conical wheels are a popular choice. Also I see some setups using those plastic slide rails, would those help me do board slides easier or are they more of a gimmick? Any advice is much appreciated thanks!

Gear madness is a curse for when you start getting old and your abilities diminish. The secret is parts are basically all the same thing and the difference is basically just in your head. If you think something is good it will feel good. If you think you have the wrong parts then they'll never work for you.
Rails will generally make you slide further/faster and will make boardslides a bit easier on curbs if you ride big wheels.(they make your board sit a bit higher on the curb giving you a bit more space before your wheels hit the ground if you lean to one side)

Hello everyone, this is my first time here on this forum. A quick dumb intro: (Skip to 2nd paragraph if you want) I just started skating a few months ago in June using some birthday money to get my first board. I had always wanted to skate as a kid but never got a chance too (I'm 25 now by the way). Up to now I've had my first board a Welcome 8.25 and then a Girl 8.0 both being popsicle shaped. I was only skating at my local skatepark and got most of the riding basics down, my ollies are still a work in progress. Then I decided I wanted to get something a little bigger to cruise around the streets. So a couple of weeks ago I went to my local skate shop where I've been getting all my gear and they had a big deck with an egg on it. I immediately fell in love with the art style and thought the shape was quirky so I got the board and made it my first cruising setup. It's a Heroin Eraser Egg 8.9 paired with 149 indy trucks and 60mm ricta clouds.

My only advice is to get rid of those rictas and skate some OJs or formula fours

I wasn't sure if this Uma was going to need 159s or 149s but I think the 149s are going to work. I'm also not sure if this is actually an egg or more of a football but I did a couple of nollies under my carport and they felt nice so there is that!

Ok y'all, I'm taking the plunge. Just ordered a Quasi "pool skater face" 9" egg to set up with my Indy 149s and some f4 53mm classics. Yes, those wheels are 'small' by my usual standards. Weirdly small wheelbase (I believe under 14"!), which I'm actually hyped to try. After several months exclusively skating a 14.125" wb Polar Dane 1, I'm not sure I ever need to go bigger.

Great shape, and yes that 13.75 WB is something special! Mine is just about razored but God damn, skating that thing has been nothing short of a blast.

Got a very similar shape on deck from Tired, it's WB is a tad longer and it's not quite as wide, but I'm sure it'll be a fun one, too.

Currently on the same deck. I have Af1 55s on it so same width as your 149s. Feels way smaller than a 9" board. Almost too flippy for me, as I'm rotating between this and the Cardiel 9.18 that has a longer WB.

wow, ur lucky to hv easy access to those eraserhead & space egg heroins boards. i had to order my symmetrical egg & curbkiller boards from other countries. most top 2 trucks for this wide boards would be Indy & Ace. those big boards & rails will give you the highly coveted badge of Curb Crusher Master when other skaters sees you.

I was going to pick this joint up but I couldnt pull the trigger because of the wheelbase. It’s a great looking set up though.

Also, ‘round these parts we use football and egg interchangeably because as a bunch of gear nerds we can’t afford to dive into the semantics of it.

picked up the new axel board from toy. nice egg shape. If i remember correctly, its the same shape as the heroin eggs according to axel's insta post, 8.9. The jesse alba board seems like it's the same shape but a little smaller 8.8. sizes are according to what the shop put on their price tag.

I can try and get a length later when i'm at home. Would the correct way to measure the length to be to press the tape into the concave or suspend the tape between the nose and tail with the deck resting on the graphic side. the toy is a little longer than the frog also.

Anyone have any idea what the dimensions on this thing were like? It’s a Neil Blender workshop deck from 1991.

I feel like these were around 9.0" to 9.25" x 32" or a touch less with something like a 14 to 14.25 wheelbase, with fairly long kicks, going by the board I have from that era that is similar.

They were fairly wide still, but shortening wheelbases with lengthening noses without the board being overly long was common.

For reference to a modern deck, the AH Huffer shape deck I put over the top of it is about the same shape overall, only the AH Huffer deck has about a .5" longer wheelbase and length.

width: 9.18"
length: 32.62"
wheelbase: 14.81"
nose: 7"
tail: 6.75"

My birthday is the 24th so I’m going to have my wife pick me up a huffer or two, and hopefully I can get away with buying the black widow and a Reuter egg from black label.

A noble birthday request!

 My whole thing with short wheelbases was I still wanted to keep 360 flips (I probably land one a month) but I landed my best one all summer on the Huffer with Ace 55 Classics... The Huffer is truly a shape I could be happy riding vert, pools, curbs or flat on with different wheel sizes. I still have a few short wheelbase boards in the pile but I might see if I can commit to the Huffer/ Phawt from now on.

That’s the thing for me, I set my huffer up with 55 classics and either 54mm lock ins or conical fulls and it is my perfect Goldilocks set up. Not even just saying that because cards is my all time favorite.

I’ve learned more tricks and skated the best I ever have on that exact set up. That’s skating everything, transition, street, ledges, curbs, flat. the only thing that holds me back is availability. I need to just stand up to my wife and buy 3-4 at a time. But that’s a lot easier said than done.

At least every AH drop seems to have a Huffer shape in it, which is promising, especially coming from the time that there were none around last year.

Setup this mutant egg 9.6, my first egg shape. I ride old skool shapes and decided to get a deck for Slappy's and to relearn flips, took some getting used to  but loving the shape.

i ordered the same glow-in-the dark Creature rails for the Curbkiller and Couch shape..

I genuinely had no idea they glowed until tonight haha. As soon as the curb killer decks come to the UK I'm gonna grab one...or two.

I've been working extra hours these last couple weeks just so I could buy a few more Heroin egg boards. I plan to collect as many of the models as I can get. The Curb Killer one seems to be very popular right now and sold out every where. But I was able to find one in stock last week and just got it in the mail today. There's a few other ones I want to get. I wish I could get my hands on one of those anatomy egg ones but seems like the ship has sailed on those.

FWIW I believe those are Prime shapes. I clocked the 8.62 as this shape:

Just setup that grimple gerwer 9.1 football/egg shape on some af1 55s, and spitfire HDs. Fun lil ripper, never skated a shape like this before. Would post a pic but I can't size them properly after hosting the img on that ibb site. Fuck it I'll do it anyway, sorry for the format.

This shape is bomb it's been a while since I've skated a shaped deck (like 10 years ago when I had a ZigZagger as a cruiser) and Im beyond stoked on how it skates and how fun it is! Even posted it in 2 threads.

If i picked up one of the enjoi thaynan decks would 159s be too big? Been eyeing that shape for a while. For reference I'm used to skating 8.5's with 159s
[close]

then you will be fine with 159s on that deck.

I was looking at this https://dwindle.com/catalogs

Looks like Thayan's shape has been shortened to 31.8 x 14WB
I think it was 31.89 x 14.2 wb ..  I like the sound of the new dimensions

Have any of you come across the new deal Ron Knigge reissue ?
If that is a good as it looks shape wise I'd buy 10

I'm still skating the last of the Rudy Johnson FUBK reissues I could find
If I could skate only that shape forever I'd be fine with that
I have only one left ..   

starting to eye off a new shape to skate for a while..

Yep that's Ron K board I was talking about.
I'd love to be able to buy at least one in Australia before I start paying intl shipping tho

That shape looks pefect to me on screen  :-\

The FUBK rudy reissue ive been on is pretty similair to a love seat I guess

9 x 31.8 x 13.8wb

If they had that shape with the loony toon graphics i would of been stoked.

The Ilardi is 9.56 I'd love to but It's too big for me.
I dont want anything that require bigger trucks than 149's

 Just coz I'm old, not very tall but still like to try n flip my board a fair bit.

I'd skate 215's and a Mutant egg or something heroin if I could but there's just no point I'd regress

Anyway I just felt like talking shapes..  :)
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Freelancevagrant on October 06, 2021, 06:01:38 AM
I just cant handle that small of wheel base, idk how y’all do it. But, that could be because I’m a pretty big dude.

Damn, they are different dimensions. I was too focused on getting the new reissue info/photos. I wish I would have looked up the fubk dims before posting that. Sorry y’all!

I’m so juiced on that sora deck, I wish the wb was 14.75 but I can definitely skate a 14.5 and I’m just being picky. Plus it’s the markovich 101 graphic, holy shit so gassed. But, as much of a chode as he is now, he was and still is absolutely unreal. His 360 flip over the flat gap in the beginning of right to skate is one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen.

And I’m right there with you dude, I can talk about eggs and shaped boards in general until the fucking cows come home.

I posted it a page or two back but my buddy just grabbed a mutant egg and got me a huffer and I’m so fucking gassed to skate that shape again.

Agree, the wheelbase clarification made me pull the trigger on this one.  They sold out at SoCal pretty instantly but looks like there are still some on the Tactics website.  I imagine they'll start showing up other places in the next few days too...

The only other egg I’ve loved apart from any Heroin egg is the Tired Joel shape. I think it’s my favourite board I’ve skated in the last few years. With 149’s and small wheels it was a killer combo. I looked everywhere for one and found it on a random scooter/longboard site. I miss it so. (Sorry if I’ve banged on about this before)

I think a egg 8.5 should taper to 8.25 towards nose and tail. But wanted to ask ya all pals.

I just ordered an EraserEgg board from the UK (I'm in the US) its listed as a 8.9" board, so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend which trucks would fit best for the Eraseregg?
Thanks in advance!!

I am currently riding the board with 149's, they are flush with the board edge. 159's would also work fine, but stick out a touch more.

Another skate shop email which looked interesting for people in this thread.

Not sure if it is more a local Australian thing, but I saw from OCD Skateshop, there were a few new egg shaped decks, some Blind boards that seemed about the same shapes as the older reissues of the FUBK series and a Jackson Pilz from Enjoi, the Early Bird.

Right on - thank you for the pics especially!! Its such a sick shape, I can't wait to set it up!!!!
So from what I understand,  Indy 149's work well, and if I stick with Thunder Trucks a 151 is a good fit.
Is this right?

I had the 151’s on the scrambled egg and that was a trip. Too hot rod but it was super easy to skate!!!

So just to verify again,  you're saying that 8.75" axles are the best size for the Eraseregg Heroin board right? Or should I go with 8.5"?
Fuck, i hate how different truck companies use different numbers for the same size trucks, makes it so confusing!

That is what I took from it, being the Eraser egg deck at 8.9" wide deck with 8.75" trucks works well.

That equates to 159 Indy, 151 Thunder or 6.1 Venture for the same 8.75" widths.



Anything in the 8.5" truck department would "magic carpet ride" and sit a long way under, unless you had some big wide wheels like Slimeballs.

In that case, it would be 149 Indy, 149 Thunder or 5.8 Venture.



It is just down to how you prefer your setup - personal preference is never overrated.

Right on, thank you for not just saying "ride what you like" I ultimately will ride what feels good,  and I thought that's what he was saying in the last reply (that 151s are a goodfit),  but I started over thinking it and messed up my whole plan lol...
I will be keeping my eyes open for some 8.75" trucks and give them a try!  Of course once I get the board I can play around with the setup and fine tune it how I like, but this at least gives me somewhere to start!!
I'll post when I get it all put together,  cheers for the assist on the last post!!  ;)

All set up and ready to rock. Can't wait to try it out this weekend!
169s / 52 F4 OG

For those that might like to know, I measured each kick at 6.75". So kind of in between a nose & tail. Perfect for an egg shape. I've got a Grimple Gerwer egg and I end up skating it backwards a lot of the time because of the super small tail.

Guess that was correct, as per your comment.

Yeah, only 6.3 and the taper makes it feel even smaller. I should note, I’m talking about the Grimple egg from a year ago, it’s 8.75 wide. Looks like there’s a new wider one out now, 9.1.

I almost picked up a Vallani Primitive egg a couple months ago. But the tail just seemed too small.

Cheers! Yeah, I have been ordering from the UK since shops in Berlin don’t order/get Heroin boards. Or Germany, for that matter. It’s a bit of a PITA now with Brexit, had orders stuck, being returned, and crazy customs fees, too. But they are worth it, my current 9.25 pop is the best board I have ever skated. Really want to get the wide symmetrical egg, too.

I believe so as the sticker listing the dimensions are the same. I have a used krooked lil snuff and I compared it to the Gerwer shape which I recently got to hold on ice, what I found was that the krooked's nose was more pointy/tapered than the grimple. Hope this helps!

The tail on the smaller Gerwer egg seemed way too small all round, but that could just be me.

Other larger options seemed to have a more normal tail.

How is it for you?

I have my Gerwer egg on ice, but I didn't really have any issues with the tail when I skated the Krooked lil snuff. I really liked doing 360 flips due to the taper. The only thing I felt that was noticeable was crooked grinds on the nose. It felt strange at first, but I eventually got used to it.

Sick, thanks for the info. I thought my snuff looked a little more pointy, but both shapes look to be my style as a 1992/1993 addict.

Big double egg update: this thing rules! I wish I had bought at least 2.
I re-measured the kicks and they are actually 6.875" each. Not 6.75 as I wrote on my original post.
Everyone who saw or rode this thing loved it as well. Just the shape alone puts a smile on people's faces.
My go-to 8.3 popsicle will be collecting dust for a bit.

I love it. First one and it feels great. Especially stoked on it because I’m on a trip right now and usually always have to bring a cruiser board over my regular board (I’m very picky about my cruiser boards and can’t just use a regular popsicle shape) and now I’ve found the happy medium where I can bring this board to skate and then a set of cruiser wheels to swap out when skating to the spot or filming.

I noticed Andy Anderson seemed to be riding a sort of egg shape at tampa pro. Kind of an interesting shape, only a slight taper and it a bit squared off and looks pretty long. I wonder if Powell will put it into production. It would be nice to have a flight or VX egg, I'm surprised SC isn't on that.

Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards

I almost always run at least 1 rail and my skating isn’t tech enough to matter.

That said, rails are pretty small bits of plastic and I don’t think make much heft. Those pig rails are especially super thin and light so

TL:DR - No!

What’s the idea behind putting on one rail? Seen it quite a bit and am curious. Personally, I have not used rails since my first setup around 30 years ago.
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Frank and Fred on October 26, 2021, 10:31:54 AM
Two rails can be a bit too slippery. One rail gives you a bit more control. That's the theory. Usually people put the toe side rail on. This can also help with board slide to feeble/ hurricane combo leverage. Personally, I don't use rails much and when I do I like to use both. Preferably skinny low profile ones.. but I just find them too sketchy on steel coping. I really only like them on curbs.

Right! I thought most people are using rails to protect graphics hence I was confused about the single rail thing. If I need more slide I just put some wax on the board and it usually works out fine.

We have our last drop of Curb Killer Eggs, and the majority of those will be shipping to skate shops, we have a few coming to our online store on Friday, but 80% are to fill back orders at stores.
We also have a Halloween special re-release of an Egg shape for our online store. That will be going live on Friday.
I’ll do a Live video from Baker Boys tomorrow with more details.

i havent gotten any eggs myself but seeing as they're so popular, maybe this could be helpful for people in canada looking for some:

the local skateshop in hamilton has the heroin 9 inch symmetrical  with a collab graphic, available online (they might ship outside of canada, i haven't checked)

empire montreal has the 9.75 symmetrical at their downtown location, but not on their website - maybe it'd be possible to call and ask about shipping?

Blast football 9.5”
Over the trucks it’s pretty much bang on 9”
Wheelbase is 14.375”, not 14.5”, which they state.
Nose and tail are both 6.75” as stated. It’s not symmetrical though. The nose is 1.5° steeper.

Gonna pair it with either Ace 55 Classics or 66 AF1s. Wheels I dunno yet. Generally I’m not a fan of small wheels but we’ll see what goes nicely with this.  :)

Ha yeah that is a funny one, but short wheelbases are the new cool thing, so it seems they are going to be all the rage.

I wonder how many of the 300 will actually be bought by people who are going to skate them though, as that sort of release will be snapped up by those who like to keep their boards still in the wrap, more so than boards gripped and ripped.

new egg-y shape from Quasi. Seems different from the previous "pool skater face" and Jake eggs (those were more proper football-ish i think).  This one seems to more in the cardiel huffer/CK Phawt camp

Thanks for pointing out that they made another run. I hadn't see it in any catalogs yet. It's a really fun shape. Nose is a little steeper and maybe a tetch longer but still pretty twinny.

I grew up in New Haven when Revelation was still there so even though I haven't really been a hardcore kid for decades, I still have hometown love for the label. I didn't know DARE until I saw the deck and gave them a bing but that's a pretty dope collab. I have a Dead Dave double shovel already, love the shape and am hyped to get another one for the hoard.

After giving up on finding a Curb Killer I bought two of the 9.75" Symmetrical Eggs from a link someone posted here. I haven't even skated it but am already in love. Found a good deal on a set of 169 Tis and couldn't resist getting them for this board.

Heroin 9.75" Symmetrical Egg
Independent 169 Titanium with Riptide Krank 93A bushings and WFB pivot cups
Spitfire F4 Classics 99A 52mm down to around 50mm
Bronson G3 (had them on my bowl setup for a year and they are still going strong)

I’m gripping and skating the blind this Sunday, so I will tell you how it skated as soon as I can!

The blind board is actually little bit bigger! The listed dims on the blind state it’s a 9.4” with a wb of 14.25”. However, the wheelbase measures exactly 14.5” and has steeper kicks than both the huffer and the Reuter.

i had a problem on the shipping rates being ridicilous expensive after i added griptape. shipping cost went 5x more..seems the online system thinks the griptape is 1 whole board.so i DM them, he rectify it, and add in the Eggxorcist board, the free grip and Heroin socks with a little extra shipping fee. shop owner seems like a good fella. that's when he told me bout the Eggxorcist board. i think he already post it on the online store..

Get the 9.75", much easier to find and arguably the better shape. Maybe it’s just me but if any shape makes more sense symmetrically, it’s the egg.

i have a Curb Killer and i wish i could get the 9.75 cause the wheelbase on that is actually better for me. big boards with short wheelbase are the best. but it isnt going to be easy getting one here in Europe. i already know my countries distribution didn't order any of them..

i have a feeling next season Heroin will be pretty generous so be ready.

I gotta say, that shape is very different from how it appears in the catalog! Mainly the tail, as you point out

I thought it was gonna be full football round shape from the internet pics. I was bummed. Then I set it up! I don’t think I’d change it now.

Anyone try the thaynan enjoi shape? 8.75 football?

Very alluring. Any egg/football with 14.125-14.25 piques my attention. I know visit and forgotten offer the clutch football shapes which look good. AD skateboards also has two shapes, almost the same but one has 13.8 wheelbase and one has 14.25. I think both the AD and clutch decks measure out somewhere between 31.8” to 32.25” lengthwise; Any other companies use this?

After giving up on finding a Curb Killer I bought two of the 9.75" Symmetrical Eggs from a link someone posted here. I haven't even skated it but am already in love. Found a good deal on a set of 169 Tis and couldn't resist getting them for this board.

Heroin 9.75" Symmetrical Egg
Independent 169 Titanium with Riptide Krank 93A bushings and WFB pivot cups
Spitfire F4 Classics 99A 52mm down to around 50mm
Bronson G3 (had them on my bowl setup for a year and they are still going strong)
Independent hardware

sweet setup..

Thanks! First session down and I am really impressed by this shape. Everything about it feels just right and not having to think about board orientation weirdly refreshing. It flips surprisingly well for such a wide board, too.

May not be everyone's cup of tea, but Corey Duffel is dropping a 8.6 football shape tomorrow with his company, Adored. I'm a huge Duffel and Smiths fan, so I might have to pick up one of these.

Copped the Quasi egg. Here's the detailed measurements for the culture

WIDTH: 9"
LENGTH: 31.75"
WB: 13.75"
WIDTH (FRONT TRUCK): 8.625"
WIDTH (BACK TRUCK): 8.5"
LENGTH (NOSE): 7.25"
LENGTH (TAIL): 6.875"

For my brother, off, the concave is steep, and it's got the mellowest tail and steepest nose that I've seen. Tail kinda seems like a craig board, but the nose is steeper than the hockey I'm riding right now. I think my fat ass just flattened that a little bit though.

Thanks mate, appreciate that. They re-stock at Baker Boys later this week, and to stores probably the week after.
Got four eggs coming out in Spring (Feb 2022 drop) two are brand new symmetrical shapes! They're on the pre order forms that are going out to stores now.

Anyone try the Krooked lil snuff or the smaller Gerwer grimple egg (basically the same shape as the krooked) on venture highs?
I've ran the krooked with thunders+risers and it felt pretty good. My daily setup is 8' popsicle with cast ventures so I was thinking if I should try running that on the egg (keep the trucks consistent or go with the thunders since that won't make the tail feel as small as the ventures).

I don't mind having my daily setup and having the egg with thunders to mix it up depending on my mood, but for the type of skating I tend to do, I would probably prefer skating ventures overall

USPS to EU works well and has reasonable rates. Received two of these from TGM only two weeks after putting my order in. They come out at around 80€ each after customs but I feel it’s worth it. As pointed out above, this egg is a masterpiece. It was instant fun coming from a Heroin 9.25 pop with minimal adjustment. I’ll go back and forth with the pop to switch things up and not wear it down too quickly.

That sounds very tempting. Usually the postage kills ordering anything larger from the US but I’ve done it before and I think nowadays the customs and VAT process is less cumbersome at least in Finland. Will have to really look into this. Thanks for the suggestion!  :)

Cheers! Shipping was $60 so I added another 9.25 pop to make it worthwhile. I mean, it’s a bummer one has to  go through all that to get boards from a UK company in the EU, but they are certainly worth it. In Germany, few shops order Heroin and if they do, prices are inflated beyond reason.

Yeah. I just checked a bunch of US sites but couldn’t find them in stock anywhere. We’ve had Heroin boards in one shop here in Finland but they won’t be getting any more until next summer apparently. No other shops that I know in the EU carry them.

I got one mutant egg in the summer but after that the supply has run dry. I did order a 9.0 symmetrical egg from the UK but I don’t think I’ll ever get it. Had to make a claim to PayPal cuz the shop isn’t replying and have not delivered it.

I’d have bought quite a few Heroin boards already if they’d be available but the situation is way too difficult so I’m mostly skating DLX boards still. They have nice shapes but nothing as interesting as Heroin unfortunately.

It's been confirmed on here before that the Primitive Villani 9.1 egg shape is the exact same as the Heroin 9.1 egg (albeit with typically worse graphics), in case Primitives are any easier to come by in EU

Tracking down decks with Instagram and doing daily Google searches sounds like way too much work for me. I am very interested in the symmetrical eggs but let’s be real, the situation is absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks @kneebone. I’m not a fan of Primitive at all and I think their boards come from China in Europe.

Very happy with both the shape and quality of the Primitive Egg. Skatestore.nl and Furtivo in BCN have also carried eggs from Heroin. Even the Curb Killer, but not as cheap as the 69 euro we want to pay

Tracking down decks with Instagram and doing daily Google searches sounds like way too much work for me. I am very interested in the symmetrical eggs but let’s be real, the situation is absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks @kneebone. I’m not a fan of Primitive at all and I think their boards come from China in Europe.

Very happy with both the shape and quality of the Primitive Egg. Skatestore.nl and Furtivo in BCN have also carried eggs from Heroin. Even the Curb Killer, but not as cheap as the 69 euro we want to pay

sadly Skatestore didn't order the 9.75 egg. but i did request they order one of next seasons eggs, just hope they actually get what they ordered too since thats another problem.

Anyone rode this deck and know the true wheelbase? https://www.skatesusa.com/products/primitive-x-dragon-ball-super-universal-survival-egg-deck-9-125

This site says 14.43 while another said 14.25
http://www.35thave.com/shop/c/p/Primitive-Frankie-Villani-Sock-Monster-9125-x-3225-x52406625.htm
My understanding is that 35th Ave always measures the decks before they put them up. In this case, the SkateUSA site has correct dims.

I'm eyeballing the Blind 9" one. Cody McEntire Impersonator

Go with the 159’s, if the sora I have is any compression it’s a lot wider at the front trucks. Honestly looks a bit like a Dane1 with a bigger nose and a rounded tail.

With that being said, I almost exclusively skate eggs and on all of my 9”+ boards I will only ride 9” trucks and I haven’t seen them hot rod.

I put the Sora and the Cody boards side by side on the floor of the skate shop
And they are pretty different.    Like freelance vagrant said the nose of the sora is more like a dane1
It actually reminded of an early 90's Jeremy Klein shape.

The cody McEntire board reminded me of me my Blind Rudy Johnson Football.
The nose is much more Football/eggy . wb is just over 14

The 8.75" one? If no one gets to it before then, I have an old one in the stack I can measure tonight.

I got a new set of Ace 55 classics to go with some new wheels and an Enjoi Pilz 9.125 egg, but since I have a phobia of Christmas completes I decided to set them up on the Uma "toenail" that I retired early.

I like it, hoping Uma do more of them. I retired it early because I put the rails on it, which always makes me feel like an asshole since I do like one trick involving the middle of my board per month.

It has a long nose with 2-ish fingers of flat, feels nice on crooked grinds. The tail is a little shorter and steeper too, which checks another box for me. I'll keep skating it while I in the trucks and/or until the tail gets fully razor'd.

The Uma Toe nail did not really work for me and I am not sure why. Looked good, dims were good. Had my Ace 44s on it and some 54mm classics but it just didn't feel good at all. I still rode it until near death though....

This is what I’m afraid of. I’m hate the tail and the wheelbase is too short. I might ride it backwards or just trade for it. I’d feel bad because it was a gift but I’d rather have something I can skate

Copped the Quasi egg. Here's the detailed measurements for the culture

WIDTH: 9"
LENGTH: 31.75"
WB: 13.75"
WIDTH (FRONT TRUCK): 8.625"
WIDTH (BACK TRUCK): 8.5"
LENGTH (NOSE): 7.25"
LENGTH (TAIL): 6.875"

For my brother, off, the concave is steep, and it's got the mellowest tail and steepest nose that I've seen. Tail kinda seems like a craig board, but the nose is steeper than the hockey I'm riding right now. I think my fat ass just flattened that a little bit though.

are they still PSStix or hv they change to BBS?

N: 6.875"
T: A little more than 6.5"
It has the usual kind of Dwindle shape, mellow wings and steeper kicks with plenty of fingers. I put 5.2 Venture Hi with forged plates on it.

I got this board too and it skates really weird to me, it might be because it's my first egg but the way I feel about it is that if this board is really shaped like boards were back then then I'm pretty glad we've moved on to contemporary popsicles. The nose and tail feel too long for my taste and I felt the tail flex a lot on a few landings. I'm interested in trying out another egg but I'm going to be a lot more picky about what shape I pick out the next time around.
Additionally, I'm skating it with some 52mms which is a normal wheel size for me but for some reason they feel huge on this board. I can kind of understand the aesthetic preferences some skaters had back then in that wheels over 50mm feel like vert wheels; when I look down at this shape and see the wheels poking out I think to myself that it doesn't feel like it makes sense to skate normal sized wheels with this board. Maybe it's my subconscious desire to make a period-accurate setup, but it feels more like the shape itself is what commands the smaller wheel size for some reason.
I dig the everslick though, it's nice to have the graphic stick around after tailsliding and boardsliding a bunch and it makes me barely feel wheelbites at all. It's also nice that it's not slick to the point of it being out of control, I still feel like I have to push my slides a little bit which makes me feel like transitioning back to a non slick will be reasonably seamless.

They would sit fairly well on it, but for people who like a little more carpet, 139s would also be a go to.

Curiosity.. why don't u like it?? Wb??

The shape isn’t my bag, I prefer a tapered nose and wider tail and this is the exact opposite, and I need at least a 14.5” wb. Honestly, over all I’m just bummed on it

Just wrapping up a three week binge with my Gerwer egg. Loved it but I gotta admit I’m not too stoked on slick decks. At least the two or three I’ve skated in the last couple years. Aside from that I loved it. Mellow concave, not too flat which is great for me considering I have a flat foot. It’s kept it’s pop for the most part as well. Wouldn’t mind snagging another but I have my eye in that quasi shape. Any update on how that skated?

I have the quasi pool skate face. It’s a fun board, 360 flips and nollie flips are way easier on it. I skate mine with 5.8 ventures.
The tail is a little thicker than I like, I prefer the pointy.
I don’t skate it very often because I’ve decided that I’d rather just skate a much smaller setup. The wood was better felt better than some regular shaped quasi boards I’ve had, recently.

sorry to semi-necro this without a cooler post but i was chatting with friend this weekend and the kelch twister got brought up. is that shape rare or do other graphics get printed on it? i see boards posted that seem similar but the specs are just slightly different and i can't tell if that's just the variation of dimensions you end up with online or what. thanks, eggheads

Hardly a Necro.

The 8.75" Grimple egg is supposedly very similar, if not the same. Great shape, and the only board I've ever lost to the water in my life.

I forget where I saw that initially, but someone confirmed it was a typo. It's got a pretty normal 14.25" WB IIRC.

Does the web store show actual inventory numbers, so there are ten of those in stock?

I see from some other boards there are three, or even one, so I am guessing it is not just an automated system that reduces the stock number once you go through checkout, the way some web stores show.

Awesome if you did get ten or more, seeing as that seems like a very popular board.

When I checked it showed 16 so I guess it's actual stock. Really good to see availability improving on these, at least in the US (it's not available in Europe). Hands down one of the best boards ever made, I reckon.

Copped the Quasi egg. Here's the detailed measurements for the culture
WIDTH: 9"
LENGTH: 31.75"
WB: 13.75"
WIDTH (FRONT TRUCK): 8.625"
WIDTH (BACK TRUCK): 8.5"
LENGTH (NOSE): 7.25"
LENGTH (TAIL): 6.875"

For my brother, off, the concave is steep, and it's got the mellowest tail and steepest nose that I've seen. Tail kinda seems like a craig board, but the nose is steeper than the hockey I'm riding right now. I think my fat ass just flattened that a little bit though.

Just set up an Uma with almost the exact same specs on 149s and some 54 conical fulls and it's pretty perfect actually. The axels feel almost flush with the board but the tail and nose to taper sharply at that point I personally wouldn't like a wider truck

Have any of you tried that Magenta small egg, the Jameel Douglas 8.25 guest board? I got one and it's pretty fun. I wouldn't go skating anywhere with it but it's great for fucking about on curbs, ledges, manual pads and flatground. Skating it on 144s, wondering if I should try it on 139s. Both work I reckon.

I skated mine with 5.8s. Little bit of magic carpet upfront, but I’d rather that then go the other way. I also don’t really like skating with truck bigger than 8.5 (8” if I’m being totally honest). So take my shit with a grain of salt. Imma big truck hater (can’t skate em)

My gear hoarding has evolved to where I'm now stacking multiples of shapes I run across that skate great. Right now there are multiple pilz eggs, gerwer eggs, and 8.75 AWS pops (along with the assorted one offs) in the stack.

I've always been a big fan of graphics that use the stained ply as a backround. Great esthetic (IMO) and the blank kicks slide like a dream.

I've got a green one that just shipped, too. Hahaha

Anyone know the width over the front and rear truck holes on the huffer/phawt shape? Want to pick one up but want to axle these thunder 149s before getting new trucks.

If you’re talking about the Cardiel huffer, these are the measurements from the latest one (Mezcalero graphic)

Front truck front bolts - 8.68”
Front truck rear bolts - 8.94”
Rear truck front bolts - 9.0”
Rear truck rear bolts - 8.75”

149s are fine if you have wider wheels or don’t mind a bit of magic carpet.

I’ve ridden this shape with 8.5”, 8.75”, and 9” trucks. Any of them will work. I prefer 9” trucks with it, but I’m also an old transition skater so my opinion may or may not help.

I’ve ridden this shape with 8.5”, 8.75”, and 9” trucks. Any of them will work. I prefer 9” trucks with it, but I’m also an old transition skater so my opinion may or may not help.

Perfect thank you!

I also ride the Huffer/ Phawt with either Ace 55 or 151/159s. Haven't tried them with an 8.5" truck yet but I think @bombsaway86 is correct. It could be done with wider wheels. Phawt shape is slightly less eggy and has more width in the tail and length in the nose. The Huffer is the better of the two IMO.

And way more available right now it would seem too.

Lots in stock in the bigger shops, as well as others when looking.

It might be weird, but as per your pic, I really like to see where the wheelbite marks appear on the deck in relation to the overall width in the truck areas.

That deck looks like it sits really well on those trucks, but I have definitely seen some that sit a long way inside, or worse some that are almost right on the edge (when the trucks are too big for the board.

Egg shaped decks just don't skate well on wider trucks, or at least the one I have didn't when I put 149s on an 8.5 egg, they just felt too wide, but the 144s or even 139s make it feel much more like it should, with the tapered kicks.

The other one I have set up is a Huffer 9.18 on 159s and that works well.


Is that just me, or others feel the same?

I generally skate 9" egg/football shapes and strongly prefer an 8.5" truck.

I don't know the physics of it, if it has something to do with the board being so much wider in the center, but going too wide on the trucks feels a lot more noticeable on an egg than a pop. Messes with my already limited ability to flip my board.

I know! This egg hunt involves both the feeling of thrill and quilt. I invested far too many hours looking for that board not to buy it. Now I’ll probably spend that same hours thinking about what trucks to get.

Most of my buddies skate the same combo of an 8.5 Anti-Hero eagle, 149’s and 54mm 99A’s over and over again. They actually do some progress on their boards not wasting time on this madness :)

Only one charge I'm aware of. I'll double check but it's literally the same order # meaning someone in the warehouse probably double printed it and then they got boxed as if separate orders.

The Deedz giraffe egg was on sale so I ordered one. Got home today with two identical packages from them. And exact order number and packing slip in each box. Gotta see if they'll send me a label to send one back.

The question is, which to keep?

Did you pay for both? Keep both (if you can afford it)
[close]

Only one charge I'm aware of. I'll double check but it's literally the same order # meaning someone in the warehouse probably double printed it and then they got boxed as if separate orders.

So a freebie
Dam props for being that good a person.
I'd take it as karma paying me back for other times I've been ripped off haha

I just ordered one of these Heroin Double Shovel egg hybrids. Gonna give it a try and see if I like it.

Thanks for pointing out that they made another run. I hadn't see it in any catalogs yet. It's a really fun shape. Nose is a little steeper and maybe a tetch longer but still pretty twinny.

Does socal skateshop just make up their own dimensions??
Or do they know something I dont??

The header is one thing, but then lower down it has different info, so who knows what to think.  Is is 32.5 or 31.6 long?

what up egg heads, i'm thinking about one of these DARE double shovel shapes but curious on the dims and truck pairings. is it 9"ish over the trucks, or is there some tapering? i ran a quick search to see if anyone posted a setup i could scope out but i didn't immediately see anything.

basically, i have a pair of indy 149s that i want to put it over but i don't want to get too magic carpeted. and i know that alt shapes can vary really widely in terms of the widest point vs what's actually over the trucks.

also: it doesn't actually look very egglike to me, but the "square shaped deck" thread is DOA, so i digress...

Quite a few of those sort of decks will work best with wider wheels on 149s, but might be a little weird on thinner wheels.

Every time I see shaped deck questions, I will see if Conflict shop has it, as they list all the dimensions including what it is over the truck areas.

Did you happen to get a blank that was the same shape, or did you paint over the original Heroin graphic?  If it's the latter, that's an expensive deck (on the reseller market) you just set up!

"The first egg shape we made was suggested by Shimizu, it was loosely based on a Mike Carrol shape. I don’t know if you remember shapes back then but the wheelbases were super short, all under 14”, so it was 8.5 but because of the wheelbase it felt much smaller. "

Glad to see the Huffer in solid rotation. There are three versions floating around right now. the cards, the curbaggedon and now the shaped eagle. I think I have enough in my stockpile for the time being but its hard not to get them all.

I am thinking this could make it into the "standard lines" with the eagle graphic and how popular the shape is, but who knows really.

At least I think they will be out in sufficient numbers to keep people happy for now, as well as into the future, depending on how many people squirrel away.

Finally I found the symmetrical 9.75 egg from a European shop! I’ve seen most of you rocking 169’s under it, would a set of Ace 55 classics be too magic carpety? I honestly prefer a flush fit here.

Is this an excuse to get a set of 66 Classics or 77 AF1?

Nice! Where’d you find it? Do they have any left?

At riotskateshop.fr! Ordered this morning, so they may have some left.

Thanks mate! I ordered one. I sure as hell don’t need more boards right now and I’d have use for that money elsewhere too but I still ordered one. Let’s hope they can deliver.  :)

Arrived today! I didn’t think it would but it fucking did! So stoked! I know what board I’m gonna be setting up once the outdoor season starts this year! Now I gotta decide whether to put Ace 66 Classics or 77 AF1s on it. 66 Classics do come in that dripping sexy purple, which is tempting me greatly.  ;D

Thanks again @Nittio !

In line to get my booster shot, then hopefully I'll skate it off and break in the egg. Did possibly my worst grip cutting job of all time, it was either ripping inwards towards the deck, or the knife was skating away leaving too much grip...

Enjoi reached out and I'll ship the duplicate order deck back but they gave me a 30% coupon code for next time. I'll post a pic when I ride it, looks good on the 139s I think. Only a tiny bit of magic carpet.

Edit: feels good. Instantly liking the real estate over my 8" but riding like it's smaller. My pinky toe on my pushing foot has been fucked for months though, really bugging me, so going to hang out up after just cruising

Hey, Fos here, that first Shimizu was actually based very loosely off the H-Street Macaroni Kid board.
Riding it (in 2016 when we first did it) it was way too short and the WB was tiny, it felt like a mini or something. I revisited it in 2018 and based the WB and length on more modern board specs, that was the 9.125 Big Egg, and everything else has been more or less loose variations on that since.
Got four new eggs in the Heroin catalog that launches Feb 1st.
Fried Egg 2 8.9, Symmetrical Egg 9.25, Symmetrical Egg 9.5, and Curb Killer 2 10".

Your fellow Finn is still waiting for his 9.75 @Roisto, I was so excited when ordering that I misspelled my e-mail address, doh! On its way now! Want to set it up right away, but my current Blast egg barely gets a scratch skating only indoors during our nearly 9 winter months.

Good news @darkthrone regarding the future eggs! The 8.9 Fried egg is really my favourite shape ever, so I’ll be on the lookout when it hits European shores.

Ha! Didn’t know you’re from Finland as well. Figured you’d be French as it’s a French shop.  ;D I don’t even know if I ever got a notification for shipment as all the emails were in French but yesterday I got a notification from Posti that there’s a package for me to pick up and there it was.

SkatePharm earlier on tried to swindle me with a 9.0” Heroin symmetrical egg order. Never delivered, no replies to emails or anything. Had to make a PayPal claim to get my money back. Figured something like that might happen now too as I can be a bit of a pessimist at times but Riot skate shop handled this beautifully!

I have the Blast egg also but I haven’t skated it yet. Figured I’d save it for the outdoor season. I actually haven’t skated at all in almost a month. Xmas, moved to a new apartment and got the damn corona on top of it all. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to go skate again.  :)

I could be wrong, but I think some of the C&D decks don't always have the original shape either? I do appreciate what they do though. (Believe I've seen some World Industries Klein Mario C&D boards with diff. shapes) 1992 boards are the shit though

Some were close but most of them were copied pretty badly. They also did the Carroll bathroom slick which used to be a slick and was done as a heat transfer, graphic was different size too.

The new heroin stuff is up in SoCal.

@darkthrone comes through as always.

Decided to spend some coin on curb themed decks.

Well, like the first one, they were available for stores to pre-book as much as they wanted.  If a shop ordered 50 Curb Killers first round then they'd get em. It just kind of kicked off more than we'd expected on that one, we kept ordering and they kept selling out. Not a bad problem, some folks got a bit pissy about it because they had a hard time getting those, and the re-sellers were kind of taking the piss with them a bit (I saw a signed one one up on Ebay for $1200 which is weird to me because we had about 100 in the warehouse ready to ship to stores). Ebay is kind of daft overall though, people just try it on a bit when they put stuff up, like I'm trying to get a Richard Corben book at the moment that retailed for $30 when it came out, but people have it up for $300 cos it's out of print. I'm not paying that, and I'm sure I'll come across it at a yard sale or something one day. Same with a Tom Waits book by Anton Corbijn, it was $150 when it first released now it's $500 on Ebay, but they just kind of sit there for a couple of years until someone with that money comes by, and it sets a false precedent because people see it at that price and go "Oh it's on Ebay for $500, so it mush be worth $500) and its not the case, its just some mug trying it on.
 
Anyway, back to skateboards, I feel like we got more of everything on the initial run on this drop, Baker Boys does all the production and ordering and with the success of the last one I'm hoping that we're going to have plenty to go around on everything this time.

Hectic one. Was given a free set of slime balls by a friend and remembered I was sitting on a frog egg board of the exact same colour so I frankensteined this thing together. Will probably turn this into a cruiser with wider wheels after a few sessions so it doesn't look as magic carpety and throw the wheels onto a street setup if they skate well.

Frog 8.8 (with very aggressive taper)
Indy 139 hangers, ace baseplates, blue indy bottom bushing, bones medium tops (made this with a bunch of leftover parts for a zip zinger and it actually feels very very good)
54mm 99a slimeballs
Probably a mix of swiss, reds and super reds

Thanks! I'll see how I feel about it after a week. Usually eggs are just novelty boards for me when I don't want to skate my serious setup. I do a lot of long grinds/slides so the tapered kicks make my feet drag too much on ledges (size 13 :( ).

It'll definitely be super fun as a low expectations, chill session setup though

Might be the camera or the pic stretched a touch but those kicks look super long for the width.

The other DLX egg of medium sizes have such tiny tails, but that one looks a lot more normal in overall length.


That Lil Snuff shape was about that so I wonder if that might be coming back again at some point.

Some had it at 8.38 x 31.7 14.12 wb from a post a while back.

The Lil Snuff shape reminds me a lot of a smaller version of the Cardiel Huffer, or at least looking at this pic and putting it over the Huffer shape, it is pretty close.

Something about having a board sitting vertically is easier to look at than diagonally or horizontally, at least in this case.

Yeah!  For sure.

I think a lot of people would be keen to try that shape out, even those who prefer shorter wheelbases.

The width and length alone are right where most people like their boards, it would seem.

Probably sounding like a broken record but the Huffer really does have such a functional shape for everything, almost every new drop now having a different graphic on that shape, so there are some good ones around.

I feel like the wider rounder tail is a lot more comfortable than some other egg shaped boards that have a smaller pointed tail, more than anything, but for a 9+ board with a fairly normal and not overly long wheelbase at 14.75  EDIT 14.81 wb, which can easily be drilled down if needed, it works really well.


They are killing it with the "Curb..." series too!

As always @Woodshop dropping big knowledge.

The huffer is by far my favorite shape of all time.

However, if anyone is spooked by the 9.18” width and 14.81” wb, the black label Reuter egg is a perfectly scaled down version at 9” with a 14.5” wb. I genuinely think that these two decks are some of the best decks ever designed. I have skated almost every available egg on the market and I’ve learned more tricks and have skated better on the huffer and the Reuter than on any other shape.

I am a gumby sometimes - be good if the knowledge was correct, but the shaped board I was on yesterday had a 14.75 wb so I guess I was thinking of that one as I was typing.

As said, correct that to 14.81 wb on the Huffer and enjoy...


I still haven't seen many Black Label decks in person including that one, although seen plenty of pics online, as well as a few setup on here too.

Makes me want to go back through and find some.

Thanks for the info guys! The shape looks really appealing me, the Heroin 9.1 eggs were the perfect size for me, as are most boards that are around 8.75-9" above the trucks. Not sure about the wheelbase as I've only skated decks up till 14.5, but I might take the plunge once I've gone through my current stack of decks.

So good!


Meant to post sooner, but got distracted and had been busy the last couple of days.

 I like the darker blue stain on the bottom the most, maybe more so yellow or orange tops and something a bit more out there (like that purple stained eagle) or darker on the bottom seems to be my thing, but the more interesting question I was going to ask is if the dipped white was all natural under the paint and if it was natural, was it softer than the other stained wood?

It is hard for me to get past the dipped boards from long ago when all the worst wood was used for the full dipped graphics, which ultimately meant almost all those boards would go soggy faster or break way more quickly.  I know it is not quite the case now with some brands, but it always gives me a red flag when I see a fully dipped board.

Looks like there’s football or eggy shape in the new Polar drop.

That Oski egg looks pretty sweet!  I know this may have been covered but what do you all like about egg shapes?  Do you think they favor a particular style of skating?  I skate a lot of mini ramps and small to mid sized bowls and a mix of everything else.  Not a lot of flip tricks These days beyond kick flips.

I wanna try one at some point and know that actually trying one is the only way to know if I like them but if anyone has any thoughts I’d really appreciate it.

Best to find some in person and stand on the board as well as having a good look at the size and shape of the kicks, compared to anything you usually ride, eg sit that board on top of any other board of similar dimensions to your board that is in the same shop.

The number of times I had thought it would be a good idea and then when I saw that board in question in person, I was glad I hadn't bought one, but I am all about the decent size / shape / feel of the tail more than almost anything else.

That said, others love the fact that there are smaller pointy tails on a lot of egg shaped boards, some egg shapes having really good decent tails too.


Might be overkill or not worth the effort, but if you have an old board floating around, you can even just reshape it by scraping it on some moderately rough concrete (no tools needed) and use grip scraps to finish it, or if you do have access to tools, you can cut it and shape it down yourself to feel out what an egg / football shape is like.

Fun making smaller boards out of old normal boards anyway, be it a little cruiser, or a funky shaped something.

Not that many people might check the "Small boards thread" so I thought this would be a good addition here, especially after the last post re cutting something down to try it.



Re: Safe Space for 7.5 - 7.75 deck rydaz

(https://i.imgur.com/TnWb413.jpg)
I never got used to the amount of flat on the kicks of this Grandma deck but the mold shape kinda reminded me of the concave on the first skinny boards I rode in the 90s. I chopped it down to this slim little egg shape. A hair under 7.75 over the axles, 14.25 WB. I thought about drilling WB in a bit but there is like 2.5 adult fingers of flat at the nose and 2 at the tail and I don’t think I could take any more. Nose is around 6.8” and tail is 6.5”.

Not sure what my plan is for this. Any tall people in here ride 7.25ish trucks on their regular setup? Closest trucks I have are some 7.25 mini logos from my kid’s skateboard and while I’m definitely gonna take a test ride on em, I got some other trucks on the list to buy before I can buy some this size. Maybe I’ll just bring in the rails to match these little trucks.

That Oski egg looks pretty sweet!  I know this may have been covered but what do you all like about egg shapes?  Do you think they favor a particular style of skating?  I skate a lot of mini ramps and small to mid sized bowls and a mix of everything else.  Not a lot of flip tricks These days beyond kick flips.

I wanna try one at some point and know that actually trying one is the only way to know if I like them but if anyone has any thoughts I’d really appreciate it.

Best to find some in person and stand on the board as well as having a good look at the size and shape of the kicks, compared to anything you usually ride, eg sit that board on top of any other board of similar dimensions to your board that is in the same shop.

The number of times I had thought it would be a good idea and then when I saw that board in question in person, I was glad I hadn't bought one, but I am all about the decent size / shape / feel of the tail more than almost anything else.

That said, others love the fact that there are smaller pointy tails on a lot of egg shaped boards, some egg shapes having really good decent tails too.

Shit!  That is really helpful, I never thought of cutting down a deck to make an egg.  I’ll have to do this in the upcoming weeks as the snow starts to melt and have it ready as stuff dries out, thanks!

Got some ace 66s on sale at my local, now looking to set up a big egg. Ordered a heroin 9.5” symmetrical egg... we’ll see how it goes. If those trucks are too wide I can pull my ace 55s or Indy 149s off of a different setup. May need to hold out for a 10” egg to really get the feeling I want, idk.

This will be second time trying an egg. First was the quasi pool skater face at 9” and 14” wb. Too squirrely for me. My daily driver is a 9.75” polar Dane 1. I like a big platform for my feet, and eggs tend to feel smaller than the specs would suggest because of all the taper, I think. So yeah, currently trying to set up a big fat egg.

Thought this might be of interest here - just got the newest Polar drop in at the shop I work at, including a couple of the Oski football shape. The polar website lists the dims as 8.75x32, Nose 6.875, Tail 6.5, and WB 14.4; however the top sticker on the deck has the dims listed as 8.75x31.8, Nose 6.875, Tail 6.5, and WB 14.375, which matches up with the measurements I took (8.5ish above trucks too fyi).

Not sure whether or not this has been the case with Polar football shapes from previous drops, but I know polar are known to post incorrect dims sometimes so figured it’d be worth posting.

on a side note, I started checking this thread last year after getting a heroin soft boiled egg deck and loving it, and since then the combination of working in a shop + the slap boards has aided my descent into near full on gear madness, so thanks for that, Shoes & Gear! Lol

Would have gone with this first time around if i had looked a little harder, but I usually try to order from smaller shops first and most of my go-tos were sold out.

Specs on that Curbageddon Huffer looking really tempting, might have to keep an eye out for one of those.
[close]


Probably sounding like a broken record but the Huffer really does have such a functional shape for everything, almost every new drop now having a different graphic on that shape, so there are some good ones around.

I feel like the wider rounder tail is a lot more comfortable than some other egg shaped boards that have a smaller pointed tail, more than anything, but for a 9+ board with a fairly normal and not overly long wheelbase at 14.75 which can easily be drilled down if needed, it works really well.


They are killing it with the "Curb..." series too!
[close]

As always @Woodshop dropping big knowledge.

The huffer is by far my favorite shape of all time.

However, if anyone is spooked by the 9.18” width and 14.81” wb, the black label Reuter egg is a perfectly scaled down version at 9” with a 14.5” wb. I genuinely think that these two decks are some of the best decks ever designed. I have skated almost every available egg on the market and I’ve learned more tricks and have skated better on the huffer and the Reuter than on any other shape.

Love the Huffer but it is actually 14.75" Wheelbase. Antihero just like to mess with you with the 1s and 8s in some of their dimensions. Everyone I have measured is 14.75" on the dot.

I just received my order of the 9.0 symmetrical egg reprint that Heroin released through their site last week, and damn this thing looks perfect.  The shape is a bit less extreme on the tapers.  But the actual measurements are quite a bit off...it's supposed to be 9.0 at the widest, but I get 8.8 even with the tape pressed down into the concave, and it's a solid 8.5 over the trucks.  Was hoping to be able to put my 159s on it but now i don't know...

It might sound weird, but I found the best way to see was not so much to measure the deck but to sit the trucks on the top of the board (wheels on is better but it doesn't really matter) putting them over the bolt holes and looking to see if the trucks / wheels will sit out too much, as more often than not, the wheels will sit inside anyway.

You can also sit a complete over the deck too, just to see whether or not it will look like it works, without having to set up the new one and then think it does or doesn't work for you.

Had a few shaped boards where the dimensions seem like it will or will not work with specific trucks, but to just sit the trucks on the deck on the floor and stand over it you can get a good idea of whether or not you would be happy with it, without ever getting the deck out of the shrink wrap.

Definitely recommend giving it a shot before you decide against it. I’ve got an 8.8 creature football that tapers to 8.5 in the front and even 8.3ish in the back and I’ve got stage 10 169s on it (they're 8.9)
You can barely see any wheel and it rides great
I wouldn’t have ordered it had I paid more attention but never looked back after setting it up.

I always find it interesting seeing where the wheel bite marks are on boards too.  I can definitely see the marks from the back wheels are a lot closer to the edge of the board compared to the front on that one.

Some boards have wheel bite marks a whole inch or more inside the deck edge, which is pretty wild when looking at some other boards like this.

Fun looking setup too.

Thought so yeah, good to hear! Hope the wheelbase will be okay as the biggest I've skated before was 14.5. I'll mostly be skating street ledges and curbs on it so if it really messes with my tricks I'll redrill, but it will be good to try something new.

I like smaller wheelbases but the Huffer is such a great well-balanced shape it just works. I am terrible at flip tricks but I can make 360 flips and fake big flips work on that shape. If a deck allows me a few flips and also feels comfortable locking into smith grinds on pool coping, it is all I need. I have 3 Huffers on a shelf in my basement... you know... just incase of societal meltdown...

I guess the different / Girl wood concave might feel a bit better with the extra room compared to the BBS concave, cause when I put the bolts through the last two holes in the Indy 159s I had on the Huffer just to see what it was like, it was so light on the tail, it was almost scary.

It would probably start to feel a bit more normal after a few sessions though, but muscle memory is a funny thing with where the tail starts and where my feet just end up.


This is the easiest way to "feel out" shortening the wheelbase without actually having to drill anything out, by putting just two bolts done up tight on the six hole baseplate through just the unused end holes on the complete first and having a stand on it / feeling out the pivot / manual point with whatever deck. 

Then if you do like it, keep the baseplate straight and even just drill out the two inside holes, or drill out all four from where the baseplate sits and you are good to go.

Sure it is dependent on having a six hole baseplate truck handy, like standard Indy 159 and up, or any older trucks as per a ton I have sitting around (Venture, Thunder, generic brands all with the old six hole plates).


Overall bringing a nose in is one thing, but bringing a tail in really changes things a lot, but it can also give an old worn down board a whole new life with an additional 3/8" added to the tail as well.





Options for you to "test out" with Indy 159s on a six hole plate without having to drill in the wheelbase first.

You weren't lying, got it today and took it to my local curb and damn it's a lot of fun. It's surprisingly nimble for it's size and wheelbase. Coming from a square kick, the tail feels like a perfect medium between a square tail and a popsicle. They make these almost every season right?? Otherwise I might cave in and double up right now.

Yes they have more coming out in every drop from what I have seen (different graphics too, which is nice), but the old "get them while you can" always rings true for me.

Of course don't blow the budget and have more boards than food in the house...

They look about right.

My older well thrashed board measures pretty much on that, maybe a touch less, but the tail is worn down.

If you hold the tape down with the concave they come up a bit longer, eg nose 7" and tail 6.75" but holding it right across and looking down at the bolts, the measurements are pretty much as per what they have on there.

Even the 14.75 vs 14.81 wheelbase is barely more than a single mm difference, which has also been discussed by others previously, so make of that what you will.

Width at front holes of back truck 9" (maybe a tad narrower)
Width at back holes of back truck 8 3/4" (maybe a pubic hair width shorter)

Nose is pointier then tail. Tail is a nice full shape but not square. We'd call it a rounded squash on a surfboard. Unlike a lot of shaped decks it carries more width toward the tail instead of tapering narrower. That's one of the bigger selling points for me.

Best used with 9" or 8.75" axle trucks.

Double up and buy as many as possible. There was a time where we went a year without a huffer and I will be good damned if that happens to any of us again.

My fault. I bought them all. Trying not to buy the latest cream colored eagle version.

Ha yeah, they had to double production on the latest boards, because so many people want them now. *

That was my reasoning as well. If we're gonna live in a post-apocalyptic world, you might as well hoard some gear to skate the sick abandoned spots.

And yeah, that's kinda my gripe with shaped decks. When I find a shape I really like I'll get the urge to buy more in case they stop producing that exact shape. When I got my Zane Timpson Life deck I immediately bought 2 more because of my paranoia.

I always find it interesting seeing where the wheel bite marks are on boards too.  I can definitely see the marks from the back wheels are a lot closer to the edge of the board compared to the front on that one.

Some boards have wheel bite marks a whole inch or more inside the deck edge, which is pretty wild when looking at some other boards like this.

Fun looking setup too.

It is interesting, i never looked at it before tbh. Ive ran both these classic 97a's and some conical full 99a's on this as well which messes with the wheelbite marks even further
Truck geometry probably adds its own spin to that as well id imagine

The setup is a lot of fun, was my first egg-shape and really sold me on it. Only thing about this deck is its a little short even for my liking at 31.48, makes it quite squirly at times

Since Ive moved to a twin shape (Chocolate) on my regular setup, i've been looking for a Heroin symmetrical and just pulled the trigger on a 9.25, which should be perfect with the 8.9 trucks i think

For the Euro-Pals looking for Heroin decks, Concretewave from Germany has an 11% Sale up until the 28th of February and a bunch of Heroin decks including the 9.25 and 9.5 symm eggs and 10 Curb Killer

Trucks would be the absolute max

I have it and have skated it with both 144s and 139s. It worked with 144s but I'll stick to 139s.

After skating the Heroin 9.75 Symmetrical Egg for a while and on different terrain I went back to my 9.25 popsicle today. It felt so much better. Night and day, really. Initially I was really hyped on the egg, but now I am thinking it was mostly the novelty factor. I mean, the symmetry is fun but my tricks just work out better on the popsicle.

Have to agree on the huffer shape but have any of you skated a IV stamped one?

I have a loveseat setup on 5.8 v hollows right now and it is an amazingly fun board. I also have a huffer shape on deck ready to be setup. Not sure exactly what to do with it because of its long wb. Probably will through my ace 55 classics on it with some cardiel 55mm spitfire tablets.

I always try to get a IV or at least a III in any DLX boards I have access to, more so than I or II but that is just me.

Others jump on my boards and some people love them, but some hate how mellow the concave is on them, but it is perfect for me.

The funny thing is I know a few people that are so conditioned to ride steeper boards, especially Dwindle and similar concave and kicks, with all those readily available bigger reissues coming out in the last few years, but they actually feel painful for me to skate more than just a single run here or there.

Everyone is different and it is just about finding what works and is comfortable for you.


If the board is too mellow (and you don't want to get rid of it), some people put on extra grippy coarse grip tape to combat that, which has worked for those people. 

I am sure any number of people on here would happily buy a Huffer in almost any reasonable condition too, if you did want to get rid of it.


Just an option or two though.

That's probably about a year's supply. I'll go through a deck in 2-6 weeks, depending on what/where I'm skating. By black Friday this stack will be dwindled down to an actually reasonable amount. Then the floodgate hoarding will begin again until I'm eventually ashamed of the next stockpile I've accrued. I've got it down to a system...

I rode the same Villani a long time ago after loving the 9.125 Heroin Razor Egg, but I remember that it didn't quite feel the same. I read that Primitive used the same mold as Heroin but for some reason I often got ghost pop on it. Is there any difference dimension-wise between the Heroin and Primitive eggs, or was it just my brain screwing with me?

It's not really the concave but more the angle of the nose and tail. Used to have it set up with 159s and it got a bit better once I put some risers on.  Now there's some Films(risers again) on it and must say it skates better than with the Indys. It's a fun deck to skate once in a while but not something I'd skate as my main set up.

Your spidey senses weren’t wrong. That franky graphic was a one off run out of China. It had a slightly different shape with a little shorter kicks. It's closer in shape to the pilz egg that dwindle has been putting out recently. The bbs villani eggs are pretty much spot on with the herion eggs, though.

i almost bought one of those symmetrical razor eggs last weekend. soo tempting. but i got quite a stack of decks myself too and i dont burn through boards as fast as you do so i shoulnt buy any more. but its such a nice deck!
i dont snap boards and ride 2 difrent setups. each generally last me atleast 5 months and then i still feel like i switch them prematurely.
do plan on getting the Curbkiller 2 when it arrives at my local. but still havnt even gotten around to riding the first Curb Killer

Ahh see, that explains a lot. I don't remember the wood being bad but the shape just wouldn't click with me. It put me off of wider decks for quite a while until I won a Curb Killer and my love for wider eggs got rekindled.

No need to worry, people know they're decent. Seeing them mounted on an egg with small wheels makes them look really cool.

Never tried a smaller egg, but 8.25 (or even 8 inch) trucks would be fine. I live in the 9 (and change) egg range and those all taper roughly 1/2 inch by the time they get to the trucks. I rock 8.75 trucks on all the 9.1/9.25 eggs I skate.

I think there have been a couple of those in setups or in this thread.

They have a tiny tail, not just small, but tiny, so if that is your thing, it should be good.

If it tapers towards the back i would aim for a truck closer to the width over back bolts

Personally I don't like my trucks sticking out any set up,  shaped or popsicle

All preference tho

It does depend on the board, to some degree, but I think most people ride trucks the size down from what would be the width of the deck, eg

AH Huffer 9.18 works best with 8.75 size trucks (such as Indy 159s on my Huffer)

Heroin egg 9.5 skates well with 9" trucks as it does taper a bit more.

AH 8.75 egg has been set up with 8.5" trucks from someone else's board.

The 8.3 and 8.25 egg was on 8" trucks.


Some people do run wider trucks than that on them and they still work, but with the significant taper, as said, it often does look a little weird with wheels sitting outside the line of the deck.

Cross post from the setup thread

My first jumbo egg (10” / 14.625” wb), and second egg overall (first was the 9” Quasi Pool Skater Face w/ 14” wb)

Definitely liking this thing better than the Quasi. It skates the way I imagined an egg should skate. Those 9” Quasis feel a lot smaller because of the tiny wheelbase and the pronounced taper.

The 10” Heroin still feels like a boat. I have Ace 66 classics on it and they seem to fit just about right.

I tend to go about 1/4" narrower than the width of the deck at its widest.
So a 9" egg = 8.75" trucks.
Huffer which is 9 1/8", either 8.75" or 9" axle trucks.

I think eggs are better with wheels slightly tucked in. But there are no rules...

I always size down because of the taper. I use 8.75 in. trucks on 9-9.25 eggs and 9 in. trucks on 9.5+. You generally have 0.5 in. taper from the middle (widest point) to the area overthe trucks.

Edit: I've got pictures of a couple 9.125 eggs with 8.75 trucks in the scrape report if you want a visual example.

I went up actually, I have the 9.12 Grimple egg and have Thunder 161s on them. Sure they Hot Rod a bit but this is mainly for cruising and grinding curbs and tranny so the extra space makes it so much easier for grinding and I can still do flip tricks when I throw them out.

Not quite sure if it is my eyes or what, but this "shaped" board looks more tapered than a normal popsicle but maybe not quite in the realm of an egg...

Ha yeah, looking again at the bigger image, I guess it is a bit more tapered than I first thought, but it reminds me more of a Baker deck than some of the egg shapes I have been used to seeing.

Anyway, at least it is another option.

Not sure how many people would be down for the 14.5 wb though - sure I like them longer, but many others like them shorter.

Just ordered some AF1 77 and a curb killer, read back on this thread someone using classic 66 and the curb killer and it looked spot on maybe a tad short. So 77s should work perfect, I believe the deck tapers to around 9.5 over trucks so exact for the 77s

The 10” curb killer I posted earlier in this page is on ace 66s, so you can have a look there for some idea of what it’ll fit like. Personally I think the 66 is ideal and wouldn’t go bigger, but I prefer axels slightly tucked rather than hot rodding

Classics or AF1?, I’ve really enjoyed my 169s on a 9.25 and wouldn’t want to go smaller on bigger decks, so hoping the 9.5 axel is spot on for the egg. The 9” AF1 just seems a tad too short on bigger setups in my head.

I switch between Huffers and a 9 inch square tail Heroin deck. Sometimes I skate my 8.5 popsicles but after skating wide decks for some time I don't like how squirelly they feel while doing ledge tricks.

For me it depends what I’m skating. I use my egg for curbs primarily, and sometimes for parks. I set it up with 53mm 99a classics so it’s fun for slappy combos and other wacky stuff.

When I’m skating ditches, diy, or anything crusty I would usually go for something else that’s more directional and stable. My “other” daily driver is a polar Dane 1 with 97a 56mm conical fulls, which is a lot more effective at charging over crappy surfaces

Lately I’ve been enjoying the curb killer so much that I am making a point of skating spots that go nicely with it, and it’s been my daily driver.

I have some Indy 149s and an 8.5” popsicle on ice at the moment, I’m thinking they would make a good “normal” board for the rare occasion that I want to skate ledges, park, or other “normal” stuff… but tbh that doesn’t happen very often these days

So I guess the short answer is that it depends what I’m skating

If I’m down realllly bad, I’ll skate a 9” popsicle. But as it stands I horde and stockpile shit to hopefully never run into that position again. As it stands now, I have one 9” popsicle in the stash, and the odds of me actually skating it are slim to none because I consistently am buying decks. By choice, I will never skate a popsicle if a shaped board is available.

Yeah, the ditch witch was a gift from my wife, haven’t decided if I’m going to skate it yet. It’s so short and I’m not really wanting to skate something that’s going to make my skating substantially worse.

Biggest difference is probably the wheelbase, so choose accordingly. I had never tried anything above 14.5 before so I was hesitant to try the Huffer but I'm really glad I took the plunge. Immediately got another after riding it once and I'm still loving it to this day. I'm kinda biased so take this with a grain of salt but I'd vouch for the Huffer.

Blue meanie has a 14.75” wheelbase so that too would speak for the Huffer IMO.

Oh yeah totally forgot about that. If you'd like a slightly tweaked version of the Meanie with a steeper nose and a blunt-ish tail then definitely go for the Huffer. It's probably gonna feel kinda similair so it isn't that much of a departure of what you're used to.

It really is a much better tail on the Huffer too, when compared to the short tapered tails on a lot of the egg boards that some people find difficult to skate.

If you ever get the chance to see any in person, you would notice this right away.


For many though, this is actually a draw card that makes an egg shaped board more to their liking, when compared to a normal popsicle tail or a big square tail shape - the complete opposite there.


The Huffer works on a number of levels to accommodate more all round everything - more normal tail, decent width in the rail area, functional nose while still being tapered, etc.

Interesting to see it was approximately 9.25 x 32.6 as well - similar to the Huffer?


I wonder if this will be released for the normal market too, after the limited editions are sold out and all gone.

What percentage of the time do you all skate your egg compared to your regular ride? Or is an egg your daily
[close]

If I’m down realllly bad, I’ll skate a 9” popsicle. But as it stands I horde and stockpile shit to hopefully never run into that position again. As it stands now, I have one 9” popsicle in the stash, and the odds of me actually skating it are slim to none because I consistently am buying decks. By choice, I will never skate a popsicle if a shaped board is available.

I almost didn't realise that the Beach Bum had been changed to the Beach Bummer, which is a much more versatile shape now, with dimensions:


Beach Bummer - 10 x 31.5 with a 14.6 wheelbase

Beach Bum - 9.55 x 30.5 with a 14.2 wheelbase

Looks like there’s a new Jason Adams egg shape coming soon https://thesellerdoor.com/shop/jason-adams-suffer-ltd-edition-package/

That one is nice.

Similar to the Think Skateboards 1992 board in shape, with the updated graphic of the burning figure.

Some good pics of that one here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224448318165

Interesting to see it was approximately 9.25 x 32.6 as well - similar to the Huffer?

I’m fairly confident it would be the same shape as the Reuter egg.

Between the AU $140 RRP and pretty high shipping ($40 or so, or more for express / air last time I checked), even with the well placed USD compared to the AUD, it is just a bit of a struggle all round.

Say it is between AU $180 to $200 then the exchange rate brings it down to US $108 to $120 that is twice what you would pay there in a local shop for almost the same deck.

I don't think it is worth that much, but that is just me.

Also you’d have to pay the VAT on that whole price and possibly even customs, at least in the EU.

I’m all about shaped Eagles. I have the Bum on Indy 169s and Super Juice 60s, which is a really fun rig that’s versatile enough to hit some varied terrain while cruising.

I can’t resist taking a stupid idea to its logical conclusion, though, so I got the Bummer, some Indy 215s, and a set of Thunder Juice wheels. It’s a tank, but it’s surfy like a longboard, and I even popped a few ollies on it. Overall, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the two beach decks. Short, stubby noses with a little kick and big, square tails. They’re perfect cruiser decks, but I’m actually really tempted to set one up with some normal wheels one day.

I snagged that Huffer Eagle as well (first one). I think I’m gonna like that a lot.

Zig Zogger is even wider than the beach bummer. 10.75" for the Zogger.

Post by: Woodshop on March 23, 2022, 05:35:03 PM

I definitely don't know everything, that's for sure.

Frank and Fred has it right there too.


From looking at some of those boards, especially if you didn't have the dimensions handy, they do look similar, but I hadn't really looked that hard at those ones.


The normal Zig Zagger is a fun one and I do know someone who shaped it to be more rounded and actually came out like a slightly smaller Huffer, which was cool to see.

The Bum/Bummer have less taper toward the tail than the Zogger. I think that’s why I’m tempted to put some regular wheels on one.

I’ve had all 3 boards at the shop and my thoughts (before reading this thread) were this: When “The Beach Bum” and “Zogger” co-existed I told people “The Beach Bum” is a slim “Zogger”, and then the “Bummer” came out and I would say it’s perfectly in between.

They’re pretty much the same exact same shape: in L, XL and XXL.

I’m guessing this is the same shape as the Baker impact stripe decks they do from time to time. Those have a 14.25 wb and I believe 32 length might be a little less.

if that's the case, i'm buying as many as possible!  i loved the impact stripe shape, but i'm pretty sure that was 9.3something and has been gone for several years. This one kinda looks like a bakerboys version of the crail couch shape, but will wait to see one of the shops that posts actual product shots rather than catalog renderings.

@darkthrone yo fos, I had a question for ya dude. Is the Dare collab the same shape as the old Tony Karr double shovel? I don’t recall the dims of it of hand, but I don’t think 9.5” like the Mandy decks.

For the uninitiated, this was the Tony Karr deck.

@Freelancevagrant According to Fos' comments on the post below, the double shovel in the Mandy drop is 9.5 and a new fully symmetrical shape. I've had the Dead Dave and the Dare and they were 9 so I am guessing those were the same shape as the Tony Karr you posted
https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBJm_EJeqC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Sorry to jump the gun and answer for Fos but I got horny for another double shovel and couldn't stop myself from digging around. Also double apologies if I totally steamrolled over your question just so I could talk about Double Shovels in the Eggs thread

@jakeumms stuff your sorrys in a sack bruv! I really appreciate it man! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t lying to folks by saying the dare symmetrical and the double shovel are the exact same.

That being said, I did some digging and got the specs for Tony’s double shovel, but fos will know best, as there’s some variation from source to source.

Double Shovel
Width: 9”
Length: 31.75”

Do you egg loyalists find they make slappys easier, harder or neither? Trying to learn them right now and notice a lot of slappiers use shaped/eggs. Seems like the wide middle might make it easier to tip but I’m not sure if that makes a difference

I don’t think the egg shape makes them any easier or harder. I think these slappiers you’re referring to are just nostalgic for the 90s when curb tricks were popular, and these were the shapes of that era.

Slappies were really a thing first time around before eggs/ footballs. In saying that, I do think eggs are good for slappies. Probably in my head, of course. I like to have a narrower stance for slappies. Front foot behind front bolts and I think the middle width of eggs helps with this. I also like the tapered nose for slappy Ks. But as I've said before, slappies are great because they can really be done on any set up...

..its just a feeling, man..

@BartHarleyJarvis  dude that is such a gorgeous set up. One of the best shapes of all time. Easy.


Thanks! It's so much fucking fun, it's pretty much the only board I've pulled out the couple weeks.

I'm a recent egg convert so I don't have as much experience as these other guys, but I don't think the shape makes slappies any easier/harder. I do like the big round middle for trying to do slides/combos, but all the basics feel the same on the egg vs other shapes.

I’m scared of the short (14.25”) wheelbase but figured it could work nicely with such wide and heavy trucks. Will have to see how it works out for me. Usually I prefer 14.5+” wheelbases with my skinnier boards.

Anyone ride the new football from Polar? Search function showed the people who ridden it liked it, but I wanted to hear more if anyone else had something to add.

i've ridden shaped boards for my past 3 boards and love it. Kinda nervous going from a square tail to a pointy one. Mainly skate curbs and mini ramps.

Yeah I had this one in 2020, I liked it but I would not ride another one. It skated like an 8.25 and the nose and tail were far to pointy for my liking. This is on ace 55 classics with 54 mm 99a spitfire lock ins

I suggest it to everyone, but if you’re going to get an egg shape get the huffer. It is the best egg ever designed.

Quasi is 9" right? You might go for the Villani or Heroin 9.125, the Uma 9" does feel quite a bit smaller than those even though it's just .125 difference and basically the same wheelbase. I find the Villani too big but still very fun to skate, the Uma might be the perfect for me with 149's.

First Egg I rode was that 9.125 shape, I'd been used to big fat tails for tail and blunt slides so I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I loved it and rode five in a row. Yeah, it's 8.75 over the trucks, so it definitely feels more like an 8.75 than a 9.125.
Glad you're digging it!

I think what I love most about it is it has all the board feel of an 8.75 without the weight of one. Usually boards past the 8.5 mark feel super clunky at first until they break in but this thing is great from start to finish.

Honestly wish I could have these on rotation back to back but 9/10 they’re hard to come by.

I’ve decided on this one. 9 inch, Short wheelbase but I like the nose and tail dimensions . I’m going with the new afi Ace low trucks for it would 8.75 be best or 8.5 ok?

I think 8.5 trucks would be perfect for it. Granted I haven’t skated the shape myself but I have looked at it in person. 8.75 would also work too, just might hot-rod slightly

i actually switched back to my 8.75 trucks after initially setting it up on 8.5s. definitely rideable on 8.5s tho, I dont think my wheels stick out at all really, but i can see them when standing on top. I cant say enough nice things about this board. I love the teeny wheelbase at 13.75 and the long pin nose - I think its my favorite shape I've ever ridden. That being said, this is my second one and I'm looking for something similar. 9 football, 14 wb if anyone has a recommendation. can't do symmetrical, trips me out

Yup, it’s symmetrical at 7” nose and tail, I like it the wheel wells are cool and allow for larger wheel sizes

I’ve got a question hopefully one of you Eggsperts can help me with  I’m looking to build a slappy set up and I’m not sure what trucks to settle on. Was looking into either the symmetrical egg (8.875 over trucks) or razor symmetrical (9.125 over trucks) and I’m stuck between either Ace AF1 60s or 66s. Just thought I’d get some outside input before I pull the trigger.

Not really an eggboi but I am a wide board person and I think 60s would be the ticket. 8.75 fits on variety of decks over 9" so you'd have more flexibility if you decided you liked it here in big country.

2 weeks ago, you would have only had the option to go 66s so shoutout to options

I second this, I just recently set up some 66s and they just felt a little wide for me, harder to get up onto some curbs. Probably would’ve gotten used to it but went back down a size and that’s been the sweet spot for me

Also keep in mind if you use a wider wheel they might stick out even more. I got radial fulls on 8.75 thunders and they still stick out on my 9.5 egg

I’m guessing this is the same shape as the Baker impact stripe decks they do from time to time. Those have a 14.25 wb and I believe 32 length might be a little less.
I wound up ordering one of these and can confirm it is indeed the exact same shape as the old impact stripe egg (i still have my skated one and i stacked them up to compare, even the wheelbase is dead-on).  Full stats on the shrinkwrap sticker are 9.25x32.75, 14.875 wb.  Very excited to set this one up.

Alright, I'll bite. What are the benefits of an egg shaped board? Seems like it would just get in the way and be awkward with the variable width.

What do you guys think the pros and cons are?

Never rode one until recently, but I think the biggest appeal is having the wide middle to stand on and set your feet up. It feels like a big, stable boat board in that regard, but the small nose/tail make it feel lighter, slimmer, more nimble. Generally speaking, of course.

They’re just fun. They make great slappy set ups, it feels like a little surfboard under your feet, you can really lean into carves. I feel like the big midsection helps me stay on when I probably shouldn’t have landed something.

Plus, at this point I’m sort of past progressing and learning more tech/difficult stuff so it’s fun to pull out some different shapes. I can still do all my basics on an egg, it’s sort of like cross training.

That being said, the smaller nose does mess with my kickflip flick a little bit. A little less consistent on those but I’m not trying to impress anybody.

indy 159 standos with spit 99a 58’s sittin on  1/8 real 3-ply. i skate a lot of everything living in a major city but am moving somewhere where the only skating is a grindline park and whatever street stuff i can liberate so this kinda covers all bases. the short wheelbase took a little to get used to but now i love it, esp skating to work and the like

I go between an egg shaped WKND and my regular setup 8.18.  The weekend board has a 13.75 WB I believe.  It’s fun for tre flips etc. interesting enough, I tend to land equally the same tricks on the wide board.   Some days I think it feels snappier.  It’s 8.875 width.  I out the REAL wood risers.  54mm Louie Lopez Spitfires w venture 6.1. Super small tail and ridiculous nose on it. 

Tre flips are the benefit of riding it?

I have mine as a cruiser/filmer board but occasionally rock it to do "normal" skating. I feel the benefits are that it has the benefits of a wider board (more stable roomier to land shit on and skate transition) with also having the benefits of the tapered nose and tail (still really easy to do flip tricks just a little different). In general as stated before they are just fun as fuck and look sick too.

I have been riding the curb killer 2 and I honestly don't understand what this slappy setup thing is about. I much prefer my previous 8.5 popsicle for doing slappys and have actually gotten worse at them since starting to use this board. however i really like the size and weight for flip tricks and skating flat in general. i can do pop shuvits 3 times higher and it feels so stable it is insane. anything flip related requires more force but feels more satisfying.

i am trying to figure out what deck to go with next that will work with Ace AF1 77. Any ideas?

Imo you should just use whatever setup you feel most comfortable on for slappys. When I moved up to Ace 77s I could feel my grinds getting worse until I finally got used to the extra width. Still prefer decks around 9 inch for all different kinds of skating. Much prefer the grind of my indy 159s over the 77s. After adjusting I'm able to use all my decks ranging from 8.5 to 10 inch for slappys and dedicated slappy setups are but a novelty imo. It's cool if you wanna skate curbs and go crazy with 215s and 40mm wheels but at the end of the day it isn't necessary to do them properly.

funny, i have some ace classic 66s on a bigger egg (the 10" curb killer 2) and i think they fit pretty nicely. i'm currently riding a 9.5" symmetrical razor egg on some ace 55 classics and i think they fit pretty well. maybe i like a little bit more magic carpet than yall do.

on the topic of the 9.5" egg, this is the longest i've spent with an egg as my daily driver, and i'm definitely enjoying it ok, but at like 32.5" long and 14.5" wb i wish it was slightly shorter. shit could be turnier and lighter. oh well, its still fun. fos if you happen to read this... know that there is at least one person in the world who would be PSYCHED on a 14.25wb 31" long 9.5" egg

im almost considering hitting up one of those like artisan/handmade deck guys on insta just to get a shape made to these dims and see how it works

Hmmm, I measured that 9.5 Symmetrical Razoregg as 32, not 32.5. WB is 14.25. Had two in a row and loved em, rode Ace Classic 66's on it and thought they worked great.
31 on a 9.5 Would be way too short I think. I'm riding a sample of shorter version of the Big Egg (9.125) at the moment, I made it 31.5 and gave it a 14.125 WB, feels loads shorter than the original. Not sure if it'll make production yet, or if it needs more tweaks.

Thanks for the response man, really appreciate it.

 I don’t remember where I pulled those dimensions from but I guess they were wrong. I see it on the bbs site listed with the same dims you just posted. It’s weird tho because the thing definitely has a far less twitchy turn than the polar Dane 1s I frequently skate, which are supposedly 31.375” long and 14.125” wb. So when I read that the 9.5” egg’s wb was 14.5”, I found it easy to believe.

 Anyway I know that the dims on a lot of boards, especially polar, tend to be slightly different irl than they are on paper. And I haven’t actually pulled out a tape measure myself, for any of these decks

But hey, if you decide to make a run of those shorter Big Egg decks, I will absolutely cop one. I appreciate what you’re doing and these boards are a lot of fun

It’s really crazy how much better my skating is on a board with a longer, mellower tail. I had an 8.38 set up and all
My flip tricks felt off. I fight riding a bigger setup thinking the smaller board will magically enable me to do more tricks but it’s quite the opposite. Hopefully I learn someday and just stick with this.

This is especially true for me with switch flips: easier on a bigger board.


Agree on Ventures.
For their ‘loose truck’ kit a conical boardside bushing might have helped a lot of people, maybe not. I used to occasionally do the bones bushing in ventures and got more turn for sure, but bones bushings are kinda not rad these days, and the truck also felt less stable so, back to mostly stock.

Set it up with some Venture 6.1 V Hollow lights and Loophole wheels (with our Fusion bearings, that we’re currently testing, in them).

Are you running risers?  I like risers with 54s on ventures, but that’s with a wide wheel. Do the classics wheel bite less aggressively due to the shape?

No risers, somehow it doesn’t get much bite, I assume it is because they are a classic shape.

I know there are tons of different egg shapes, but how much do these taper around over the bolts? I’m trying to decide if i should get 8.75 trucks or 9.0. I don’t see myself ever riding an egg over 9” or 9.1” though.

I think most people usually go for about 1/4" or so down in truck size.

My Huffer 9.18 has Indy 159s (8.75) and they work well.

The 9.5 Heroin egg has Thunder 161 (9") trucks after I tried 151s (8.75) and thought it was just a bit too far in.

Two others with around 8.75 width boards have 149s and an 8.3 has 139s all sitting just nicely under on normal sized wheels.


* I forgot to add, but if you already have a board, or can see it in person, measure the width across the far front and far back bolts for a pretty accurate width of truck as that is about where the axle sits on most when considering where the wheels are, but if you are not sure, the best way is this - don't like any wheel showing, go down in truck size, or want a wider more stable ride, then go up in truck size.

To add to this, I set up my Huffer (9.18") with Ace AF1 66s (9" axle) and I really wasn't feeling it, so I swapped them for Indy 149s (8.5" axle) and that really unlocked it for me. it's all about preference.

Yeah, it depends on the use you give it too (then again it's all about the preference baby). I Have a 9.12 egg and I have Thunder 161s (9inch axel) on it. It hot rods just a bit but I use it as a cruiser/filmer board and when I do skate it normally Its usually for grinds and transition tricks, although flipping it is hella fun too. I imagine that if you want to skate it as a regular board you might want the trucks to not stick out as much

Over the last year or so I have ridden the Uma 9" egg and Heroin symmetrical 9" with 8.5" trucks, the Couch with both 8.75" and 9" trucks (feels better with the 8.75" trucks) and the Huffer with 9" and 8.75" trucks.

Totally personal preference but I think eggs work best with axle width being about 1/4" less than the deck at its widest.

How do you like the curb killer?  Is it functional for everyday skating?  I have one at home and I debate whether it’s a skate deck or just a for-the-wall deck.  I’m currently skating the 9.5” symmetrical egg (below) but the curb killer looks much bigger in comparison.  I grabbed the smaller Mandy egg too from the more recent drop.

Before throwing the cruiser wheels on it I was skating it on a semi-regular basis, but it is a lot of board to work with! The 9.25 symmetrical has been my go to since that shape came out, I'm on my third one at the moment. Nowadays if I'm on a coffee run I'll take the curb killer out and maybe hit a slappy or two while I'm out and about, but other than that I just keep it to cruising on it.

Did you re-drill for the 14.375 WB?? SW has it listed as 14.5(they often have dims wrong) so seeing this has me curious.

This board, the new krooked moonsmile, and the Huffer (currently riding one) have piqued my interest in my hunt for a new deck.

There’s a Uma too but that and the krooked are looked a little too pointy at both ends. Next week, I’m gonna go into the shop and check em all out.

Are the tails a lot more short and pointy than the Huffers?

Not that it matters as I am not ordering any from AU, but more just curious as a lot of eggs just don't work for me, but the Huffer and the Black Label Jake 9" have really nice round tails, which I find great for my skating.

Definitely pointier, more of a proper egg compared to the huffer. I also really love that blunter huffer tail so I'm wondering how I'll like this one. The nose and tail seem a bit fuller than the Quasi eggs I was eyeing for a while though. My rough measurements have it at 6-3/4" tail and 7" nose. Sticker says 32" length and 14.5" wb, although my measurement was slightly shorter?

It’s funny I consider a proper egg to be the huffer and the Reuter. Pointier nose and a round full tail, seems to be the closest to an actual egg. But this is my own personal and completely subjective opinion.

Not that it matters as I am not ordering any from AU, but more just curious as a lot of eggs just don't work for me, but the Huffer and the Black Label Jake 9" have really nice round tails, which I find great for my skating.

Definitely pointier, more of a proper egg compared to the huffer. I also really love that blunter huffer tail so I'm wondering how I'll like this one. The nose and tail seem a bit fuller than the Quasi eggs I was eyeing for a while though. My rough measurements have it at 6-3/4" tail and 7" nose. Sticker says 32" length and 14.5" wb, although my measurement was slightly shorter?

I just got mine as well, it's definitely the same shape as the krooked alt moon smile. Measured mine and all the specs seem in line. Looks like a good time.

WIDTH (IN):   9.1
LENGTH (IN):   32.0
WHEELBASE (IN):   14.5
NOSE (IN):   6.75
TAIL (IN):   6.75

Edit: 8.5" over the front and back truck. my copy has a IV stamped over the front truck.


That is a huge taper on that board then, from 9.1 down to 8.5 at trucks.

Thanks for the info too.

Hey pals, I am looking at that Frog Deck here and I like what I see. My question is, does anyone know how wide it is over the trucks?
I have some Indy 159s but if it is more like 8.5 over the trucks, I would snag some 149s.

Thanks in advance.

I actually went through a similar dilemma between choosing 149's and 159's and discovered it depends on the wheel shape you are running. If you have "classic" shape wheels, then you should be totally fine with the 159's, as the wheels will sit flush on the taper. If you are running conical or wider profile wheels, then I would say 149's might be a better fit, as the edges of the wheels won't stick out.

@YeoWhattup thank you! Was too slow to snag the Frog at SW. Got the Krkd Moonsmile.

When I measured the Moonsmile it’s a lil bit over 8.5 where the trucks will sit. Not skating for at least another week, but it looks like my 151’s will fit fine. Otherwise, might have to get new trucks or cry. Probably both.

Anatomy of an egg is one of my all time favorite graphics. I did like the one with the teal background better than the pink one but I’m quite sure I’ll get this one no matter how the specs suit me otherwise. My local and a bunch of other shops in Finland just started carrying Heroin and even though they’ve got only some 5 or so different ones I’m hopeful I’ll be able to snag this one easily enough.

Honestly 159’s would be fine. My films are 8.75 with conical fulls. What wheels would you being running on the 159/? If you’re not running a hella slim wheel it will help.

copped this a few days ago, I love it to death. Mine is pictured with thunder 151s but they stick out a little bit, although you cant tell from the pic I took. 149s would definitely work well. I was waffling between this and the 9.1 moon smile deck but opted for this because it had a little bit of a shorter wheelbase and I just loved the graphic so much. 10/10 for my needs

I usually ride 151s on the Couch. I tried it with Classic 55s and while they looked good on the deck, it was way harder to flip.

finally got around to setting up my first egg. its the 10" Heroin Curb Killer. i've had it on ice since last fall. been lurking this thread for a long time and really gotten obsessed with egg shapes maybe 1 and a half year ago. just never got around to it cause my stack was too big.
something about the round shape just makes me really happy.

set it up with:
Indy 169s
Spitfire 54mm Tablets
1/4th risers
Bones rail

only had a short session on it yet. love how long the nose is. on the other hand the tail is a bit short.

(https://i.postimg.cc/d0pT3SH9/curbkiller1.png)

i have a Curb Killer 2 on ice too. hope i can oneday also get some 9.75 and 9.5 symmetrical eggs from Heroin. aswell as the Blast 9.5 egg if they ever make those again.

Curious as there are already different dimensions listed for that one (wheelbase)...


https://blacklabelskates.bigcartel.com/product/john-cardiel-snuff-reissue-silver-stripe

9.25" x 32.25"
WB 14.75"


https://socalskateshop.com/Black-Label-John-Cardiel-SNUFF-1991-Shaped-Re-Issue-Deck-Green-Stripe-9-25x32-25.html

Width: 9.25"
Length: 32.25"
Wheelbase: 14.5"



Guessing it is 14.5 which is what it has on the Black Label catalog pic.

Just checked this out in person today. The 14.75 WB was a deal breaker for me. If it had been 14.5, I would have grabbed it. Besides the too long WB (for me) the board is beautiful. Much more normal tail. Not the typical small pinner egg tail. Small pointed nose.
I did grab the stoned spork shaped board though.

I am wondering if it would work the same way for people who redrilled the Huffer down, this one might also be the same, using the six hole baseplate option, drilling in the front shortens the wheelbase and doesn't make the nose overly long.

Just a thought anyway.


That Elijah board sure does look good - 14.38 wb means no redrilling needed too.

Yes.
My first impression when I saw the Cardiel was a scaled down Beamer. Just a little rounder.

My setup's a bit janky tbh, I'm running 55 ACE's that don't quite fit flush/even and my once 53mm Conical Full's that I'm positive are 51's at this point. But it works for me and I love it.

Rocked some 43mm Boardycakes on the egg for a bit before going back to my usual 52mm wheels, slow and stupid but kinda fun.  I haven't had much time to skate the last few weeks which is a bummer bc I'm really liking this deck and the 66 Classics.

From looking at the pics and having both a Huffer and a Heroin egg of similar width, I would go with the Huffer any and every time, as the short and pointy tails on the other egg shapes make them impossible to skate well for me.

I feel like the tail of my board is maybe the most important factor in everything I do, apart from hitting pump tracks, which is what the Heroin egg is for nowdays, so unless I can sell it off, I am never going to use it really.

Everyone is different though, so I can see how appealing some of those egg shapes are for others.

I’m pretty sure it’s a pact Heroin made with various skate shoe manufacturers to ensure you wear through the soles of your shoes at a faster than usual rate due to the sharp edge rubbing against them on slappys thus increasing the frequency of shoe purchases. 

I kid but I really like Heroin’s shapes but I could do without the razor edge personally.  Doesn’t bother me but isn’t a game changer.

I believe the idea is to give you more overall foot to board - maximise that contact, as Jeff Grosso or someone said a while back, when he had it on his own board and then on a few AH boards too - Old Man Edge or something (Old Guy Square Edge) as per link below.

https://www.nativeskatestore.co.uk/skateboards-c7/skateboard-decks-c23/chris-strople-tribute-xl-caster-jeff-grosso-yellow-skateboard-deck-10-125-p33452


Besides AH and Heroin, I don't know how many others had it.  Black Label as well?

An older Santa Cruz Dressen reissue had it too, now that I am thinking about it.  I had one, which was passed around a bit, mainly because most people were not so fond of that sort of top, which was round 100% of the whole board at the time.

Those things chipped really easily too, but the more recent versions only seem to have it through the middle rails and it is a normal nose and tail, or at least the one I saw was like that.


I found this article as well, which explains it well enough / better than I did:


https://www.basementskate.com.au/blog/2020/11/23/double-take-heroin-rails-and-razor-top-decks/


Heroin Skateboards have developed their new “Razor Top” deck construction. With this slick new marketing name, exactly what does Razor Top mean. The top edge of the deck has not been rounded off giving the deck a sharp finish. This means your foot will be sliding the entire width of the deck when performing flip tricks. This makes the board feel super responsive and provides easier board control. It’s makes the deck also feel a little bit wider to a deck of the same width with standard round routed rails. It’s not new and was often featured on decks by one of our dearly departed pals. Try it!

Thanks!!!!

Been busy with work but wanted to confirm and say yes, it's a 14.125. Also confirmed on Heroin's website. http://www.heroinskateboarding.com/stuff

Pros is that it's a fun egg to try if you dont wanna commit to larger 9+ eggs. It's a nice break from my usual 8.25 popsicle

Cons is that it feels a bit small (coming from a short person, but I'm in my egg madness right now and my last egg was a 9)

Edit: I had a few more sessions on this board and I changed my mind about it. It rules. It's become my daily driver. Highly recommend

possible new egg. haven't been able to track down specs on this raybourn deck other than it's 8.25, but it's looking kinda eggy/bally and the art is rad. i forget who's doing metal's new boards, so maybe it's similar to another shape already out there?

The stockist list is decent, second pic on this post, through Sectdealer.com which is AWS and Habitat.  I wonder if they are BBS as well, but just guessing right now.

alright alright, tactics has some specs up on the raybourn egg. could be a copy paste job, but lets give them the benefit of the doubt

SIZE   8.25
WIDTH (IN):   8.25
LENGTH (IN):   31.625
WHEELBASE (IN):   14.25
NOSE (IN):   6.875
TAIL (IN):   6.625
[close]


I was hoping for some pics so I could see the tops, but they only have the listings there.

https://www.tactics.com/search/metal+deck


so i nabbed a metal egg, shoutout to @LebowskisRug for the legwork on this
Shop that measured them for me said they are Habitat shapes. The 8.25 and 8.5 have just under 14.25 WB
does come with a little habitat bloom logo on the size sticker. sticker doesn't mention wb or overall length, just width.
measurements tactics has listed are about right, though i haven't checked nose/tail because i had to run out the door and now i'm just being lazy.
as for pictures, i can't get as good of lighting or angles that tactics does with their shots, but is there anything specific you/anyone would like a pic of?

Gonna keep it going with the Heroin eggs for my next couple boards.  The slick Anatomy of an Egg definitely seems to have steeper concave than the Eggscape from New York (which doesn’t have the BBS sticker for some reason…).

Yeah I feel like the Eggscape is pretty much made for 169s or Ace classics 55s if I remember the over-the-bolts dimensions correctly from IG.  I’m riding 159s now so I’m just gonna throw them on there.  I never go magic carpet with my setups so it will be a whole new experience.

on IG it said 9" over the bolts. but it still tapers more towards the nose so who knows what it is where my wheels sit. if it said like 9.25 ish i would feel safe. i like my magic carpets.

i measured it and the board that drove me insane with the wheels was also 9" over the bolts. but a snub nose so it tapered more i guess.
i also realize i am stressing over a fiew milimeters like an idiot..

I'm riding an El Huevo now (which I think is the same shape as the Eggscape) with Classic 66s and I can't see my wheels.  If I try really hard I can sorta see the tip of the axle, maybe a bit of the nut.  Unless you have wheels with substantial offset I think 169s would be fine.

What like the huffer? I think the huffer is technically 9.18 but I run it with 8.5 trucks and it’s perfect for me

No the Grimple egg above is a DLX shape that is 9.1 center, 8.75 at trucks, but then aggressively tapers. Fairly sure it's symmetrical too.

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=122035.0

i keep stumbling on new (and some old) info about this - metal's story right now has some ccs ad where it's listed as a bo turner shape, which makes sense since ben mentioned in his cold call video that he was stoked that metal was through aws so he could use some of the 'early 90s shapes'. turns out there was a lot more info in that video than i picked up on the first time i watched, neat.

Ha yeah, but is that even still a thing?

Also I thought it was based on production numbers, not sales numbers, but I don't know much about how things work nowdays for those companies.  I seem to recall that was how it was a while back anyway.

I’m sure you’re right, was just having a laugh

Can anyone who got the recent Primitive egg 2 fer cheap deal measure the wheelbase?  I got major anxiety doing some internet searching - some sites say the dbz egg and Franky scattered have a 14.4 wb?!?!? I thought their 9.125 egg shape was supposed to have a 14.25 wb...

My shipment don't come til Monday, but I'll be sleepless unless someone can confirm hopefully more like a 14.25 wb.

Top sticker says 14.43 and my tape measure agrees, measured center-to-center on the holes. "inside" to "inside" of the holes is 14.25 on the dot

I've had both 14.25 and 14.43 Villani Primitive eggs. The last three have been 14.43, so I assume that's what they mean for it to be.

I just got this board within the last month, i have 2 of them and they are identical.

i thought wheelbase was meant to be measured basically that space in between where the holes are. it is 14.25" from that distance. that is also what it literally says on the sticker that comes with the board. comparing to my Anti Hero Blue Meanie board measuring from the same spot, its 14.75": which lines up with the description for that board. some people measure from the centre? if i were to measure from there, its like 16" which doesnt make any sense. so i am fairly convinced 14.25" is the correct WB measurement for this shape + graphic at least.

just set up the 2nd of my Villani eggs from the 2fer deal and immediately noticed that something seemed off. Got out my tape measure and confirmed that the front truck holes are drilled 1/8" off-center. Gonna take it out for a spin tonight to see if i can notice it, but i feel like it's going to be a thing of mind-over-matter and will always bother me. I wonder if it's because of the extreme taper which causes the inconsistency in QC? I didn't notice this on the other deck but now i'll have to go double-check that one. It's slightly noticeable here in the photo, much more apparent IRL

That sort of thing is usually covered under warranty.

Can I also use this in the Woodshop thread?  There was a conversation about this happening the other day.

Also did you note where that one came from, if the sticker said made in Mexico, China or USA?

Thanks.

It's definitely BBS/Mexico. I actually wound up having a fantastic session on it, and now that it's worn in a bit it seems less noticeable. I don't often venture into the woodshop thread except to check out a new brand, so I'm not familiar with the specific discussion on this there, but feel free to share.

More than anything, it is just one of the many issues with boards, regardless of woodshop, but it does still happen.

I know I have had a board given to me from someone else who swore the holes were drilled incorrectly, but when I measured it up and checked, the holes were straight and the deck had moved in the cutting process, so one side was wider than the other.  It still rode straight, so that was not a problem.

Boards that do have holes drilled incorrectly, as per another one on the previous page (as per link below) meant the truck sat on an angle and made the board pull to one side, which is a different issue entirely.

Hopefully you have the first one, so that the board will still skate well, rather than always ending up going to one side without you wanting it to.

Yeah I didn't test out the turning hypothesis, will try that next time i'm out. But i'm fairly certain it's related to the shaping due to the big taper on these eggs and not that the holes are crooked

@iw0

It measures true @14.20 - it's [current] Deedz [enjoi] shape but with wheel wells. 14.2 is a bit odd, but NHS does 14.1" and 14.22" all the time/consistently.

Lining things up, it appears I can get away with 144/148/44s without axle nuts sticking out too much. Way too many truck options...royal, thunder (I like a longer wb usually, hate wheelbite but that was the goal with the wheel wells to ride thunders with it)...been on an indy kick for min...ace 44 lo...

I feel like the "90s egg shapes" were really only around from some brands between late 1991 and almost all done and gone by 1993, with boards quickly becoming more popsicle shaped from mid to late 1993 and less egg shaped.

A few brands were way more into them from start to finish and kept them going for a while longer, but other brands didn't really do that at all, going more from square kicks to rounded kicks with not a whole lot of egg to them.

$75 for the board. And for just another $25 you get 48 mm F4s and socks. Not a bad deal. If Chico wasn’t so hung up on 14” wheelbase, he’d be getting some money from me.

Currently skating 8.5” trucks and was hoping to stumble across an 8.75” egg.  Just ordered the board.  Down to support Chico for sure.

Supreme x AntiHero 9.18”

Crosspost from setup. Should be a fun new curb board. These trucks will not die, I’m deep into the axle on the front and rear truck. Considering Ace AF1 55s for my next trucks on this board. I didn’t love my first pair but willing to give them another shot

Hyped on the 8.75 Gerwer Grimplestix Egg, great shape, great concave! Gerwer is the sh*t, so no brainer here. Set up with old 8.5 Indys and 56mm Powell Dragons.

Chico Stix 8.75”
Tensor Maglights
55 mm F4 classics (down to 52ish)

Shape looks good.  Nose and tail look decently smaller than the Curren Caples egg/football shape I was skating before this.

Man, I'm a huge Heroin fanboy but the symmetric Egg graphics where the egg is mirrored don't do it for me. A symmetrical 10" egg sounds great but I'm too picky about my deck art to ride this.

a 14.5 would be nice if thats the case.
i like the OG 10" egg but the tail is a bit short for my liking. so this one could be the solution. i dont actually care about the symmetrical aspect tho.

i liked the 9.75 one. with the upside down faces. and i think the Razor Egg looked great! but i know you didnt like that one ether.
this one is pretty weak, i'll agree on that. but i woulnt mind riding it still.

I'll agree with you that the 9.75 one is actually decent. I hated the Razor Egg, it's way too busy for me. Especially 'cause the original Razor Egg was my first egg, so the original art holds a special place in my heart.

Uprise has them in stock I think. Looks like the Roman board is their football shape.

I think the initial picture I saw was two overlapping Dane 1’s in a pile of decks that gave the appearance of a Dane 1 football haha. Roman one looks sick

Post by: yakusoku on October 02, 2022, 08:12:32 AM
After reading the whole thread my body is asking for a football or egg shaped board. I can't wait to skate one of those so I will ask for help. If you have free time, could you help me to decide what deck is the best one? I skated 8" popsicles from 1999 to 2009 and then stopped skating. This year I started again with wide boards. I use a 10" Powell Peralta Steve Saiz reissue and a 10" Santa Cruz Jeff Kendall End of the World reissue. I love those set ups. I want a side football deck for flip tricks, not less than 9" and not over 9.5". I made a list but the problem is I'm from Japan so I don't know if brands send decks with bad wood here or they are the same than USA. This is my (long) list of football/egg wishes.

Tired The Rounders Chuck 9.3" this is my favorite one but I've read here that Tired wood is bad. Is it true?
Black Label Jason Adams Suffer 9" I also love this one.
Black Label Black Widow 9.25" Same as above. Love it.
Black Label Jake Reuter snake and rat 9".
Black Label Snuff Cardiel 9.25"

The next on the list are the Antihero team:
Antihero Cardiel Mezcalero 9.18"
Antihero Gerwer Grimples at work 9.1"
Antihero Supreme Curbs. It's also cool but it's really expensive so don't recommend me this one please lol.
Antihero Huffer 9.18"
Antihero Cardiel Carbine 9.18"

Frog The Distraction 9.1" I really like this one but I don't know how is its wood.
Primitive Villani 9.1"
Crailtap Phawt 9.1"
Girl Kennedy Blooming 9.1"
Skatemental Curren Caples 9"
Uma Landsleds star head buddies 8.9"

Also I know all the Heroin Eggs commented here but I want to try something different so I didn't list them. I don't dislike the brand, in fact, someday I would buy the Heroin Dead Dave Video City because I like it a lot. I'm looking for a snappy, responsive deck with good wood and long pop. I'm very tall (190cm) so I don't care about long WB. I'm ok with 15". Which one do you recommend me? Thank you and sorry for the big message!

Tired are BBS as far as I’m aware, I’m skating one of the 9.125 egg shaped decks at the moment (I think it’s the “Chuck” shape) and been really enjoying it. All of the shaped Tired decks I’ve seen have super mellow kicks/concave and most if not all have a 14”WB I believe (may be wrong but I think that’s the case), so maybe keep that in mind if you were thinking of grabbing one

Just had a quick look at the Tired decks we’ve got in stock to compare to other BBS brands and the Tired decks have the exact same warning sticker as the FA decks we’ve got in (the FAs have the wee hologram sticker on em too so definitely BBS) as well as some other brands. The one I’m skating also had the circular puncture between the top bolts and defo feels like the other BBS decks I’ve skated recently so I’m fairly sure, will try to remember to post in the woodshop thread when I’m home tonight!

my Tired deck (1989 shape) does not have any warning/holographic stickers on it, also no dimple. could that mean Euro and US are difrent woodshops? or did the recently make the swich to BBS. the one i got came out over a year ago.

The one I’m skating also had the circular puncture between the top bolts and defo feels like the other BBS decks I’ve skated recently so I’m fairly sure, will try to remember to post in the woodshop thread when I’m home tonight!

The only Tired deck I’ve had was definitely Clutch, but that was late 2020/early 2021 when everyone was scrambling for production. Would love to try that chuck shape if it’s on bbs

Being a taller guy you might enjoy the longer wheelbases of the Cardiel (snuff & Huffer) decks.

Yes, decks with longer wheelbases are my priority but also I want a shape I like. If somebody knows how is the wood of Tired Skateboards let me know, please. I've not found any info online. Thank you!

Tired are BBS as far as I’m aware, I’m skating one of the 9.125 egg shaped decks at the moment (I think it’s the “Chuck” shape) and been really enjoying it. All of the shaped Tired decks I’ve seen have super mellow kicks/concave and most if not all have a 14”WB I believe (may be wrong but I think that’s the case), so maybe keep that in mind if you were thinking of grabbing one

my Tired deck (1989 shape) does not have any warning/holographic stickers on it, also no dimple. could that mean Euro and US are difrent woodshops? or did the recently make the swich to BBS. the one i got came out over a year ago.

Not sure how I didn't update the main list, as people had posted the new BBS Tired boards and talked about it before, maybe in the WBSWB Thread


https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=115328.810


Any which way, I have updated the main Woodshop listing now.


Thanks for the info you guys as well.

Every little bit helps keep things current.

That one you have is older stock.

I think the BBS Tired boards came out maybe a month or so ago, definitely fairly new, like a few other brands that have changed in the last few months, including Skate Mental (Curren Caples egg shape) and GX1000 / Quasi who are going to be using both BBS and PS Stix for theirs, but not sure which for their egg shapes, just to keep it thread relevant.

Real estate in the middle. responsiveness off the tail and nose. you can ride a wide board that feels comfy on tranny but will still flip really well. and you can ride a variety of truck widths on them depending on how what and how you like to skate. for instance with a cardiel 9.18 Huffer, people dig everything from 8.5" axles to 9.125" axles. that's a big range.

on a personal note, being older than shit, my most progressive skateboarding years were when big shapes narrowed down to eggs and before the advent of the super skinny popsicle. so there's a nostalgia angle for me. to this day i find myself doing my best skateboarding on eggs and i love the way they look.

mostly skate the Huffer but also dig the loveseat/ couch and occasional heroin egg. really like the Black Label squared off 'blunted egg' shapes also, slide the spider egg.

If someone is trying to find some technical advantage of riding a shape that isn’t a popsicle maybe it’s just not for you.
For me riding a shaped board is a mix of boredom and being sentimental/nostalgic about skating back in the early 90’s.
Everyone’s experience is different but that’s just how it is for me.

I can measure when I get a deck in my hands, but looks to be in or around 8.75 or slightly less. I've gotten used to riding Indy 159s on anything 8.5 and up so I'd probably go with them regardless.

Forgive my noob shit when it comes to shaped boards, but in reading through a lot of this thread I see a lot of things like “9.0 but rides like an 8.5” — why would that be?  Because of the taper near the trucks?

What other advantages/disadvantages would an egg shaped board have?
[close]
I have a regular popsicle and a love seat
Yesterday afternoon I wasn't feeling like doing much but the love seat was sitting to the left of my tv
Just looking at it made me get off my ass and I went and skated for a couple hours

Long story short. shaped boards (especially eggs) make me want to go skate
That's the first thing I thought when I read your question

There's plenty of other reasons
[close]

Totally get the motivation piece, I guess I’m curious about those other reasons.
[close]

Real estate in the middle. responsiveness off the tail and nose. you can ride a wide board that feels comfy on tranny but will still flip really well. and you can ride a variety of truck widths on them depending on how what and how you like to skate. for instance with a cardiel 9.18 Huffer, people dig everything from 8.5" axles to 9.125" axles. that's a big range.

on a personal note, being older than shit, my most progressive skateboarding years were when big shapes narrowed down to eggs and before the advent of the super skinny popsicle. so there's a nostalgia angle for me. to this day i find myself doing my best skateboarding on eggs and i love the way they look.

mostly skate the Huffer but also dig the loveseat/ couch and occasional heroin egg. really like the Black Label squared off 'blunted egg' shapes also, slide the spider egg.

Had a blast with this Polar 8.75 football. My first egg shaped board. And my first time back out since blowing out my knee out at the end of August.

Have to say…I was all in on the full/shovel nose shape (Quasi and Metal) and didn’t think I’d dig the egg. I had so much fun with it. I was most skating small transition and it really carved like a surf board.

Got me these Heroins yesterday. Had to include the Emericas I got also.

These are my first egg shapes other than the Tim Gavin Blind reissue with the evil veterinarian graphic, which I didn’t skate that much. They’re way more work to skate than I thought, lol. Maybe 9.5 is past my limit. Also, does anyone notice any difference in functionality with Heroin’s “razor edge” in comparison to normal edged boards?

Here’s the one I set up after an hour session at the local parking garage. I know it’s symmetrical but I don’t like to treat em like that

- 9" Black Label Suffer: My first football shape but I felt confortable all along. I was doing ollies, manuals and fakie shove its only.
- Ace AF1 55: My first push was WTF is this! They felt really loose but got used to it after a minute. Now I love them!
- Spitfire F4 Radials 52mm 101d: Just... wheels.
- Bronson G2: Smooth.
- 1/8 Ace risers: Just... risers.
- Jessup grip (tail), generic and shitty clear grip from Murasaki Sports (middle), Shake Junt (nose)

I normally run 58mms and risers but it didn’t quite feel right so I’m trying smaller wheels with no riser.
Just finished skating 3 love seats in a row and wanted a shape change, plus have been liking 14.5” wheelbases which is super weird considering I’m so short.

No plans on having a a 15" WB, when most other brands make big boards they just scale up their existing shapes and they end up with a 9.0 popsicle that's 33" long with a 15" WB, I dig the functionality of the shorter WB's.
We only get to drop 10 boards a season, so it's hard to keep everyone happy and rotate enough into that to cater for everyone.

Every season we have a Mutant board, it's the Dead Dave Pro board, that's the shape that me and him worked on together. I'm working on a 9.5 or 9.8 version for Fall (July). That'll be a team board, just getting samples on that made up now.

Yeah, this is Fos, I own Heroin.

Wow that’s so cool you’re on slap! I had no idea who I was asking 😅

Yeah, I totally see what you’re saying. I’m riding the AH Orange Eagle 9”x33”. It’s a boat, length wise. But having the 15” wb finally made me feel I don’t have my legs tied together, and that I’m actually riding a skateboard meant for a grown man.

If only there were a symmetrical egg shaped board with 15” wb and mellow kicks in the 6,625”-6,75” range that would put it comfortably below the dreaded 33”.
It’d be a vert egg. Is it a dumb idea?

While I am a full-fledged member of the Cult of the Huffer, I felt like it was my duty as a lover of early 90s football-shaped boards to try out a Heroin egg. I have to say I'm very happy I did. While it won't replace the Huffer as my daily driver, this 9.4 egg is super fun and comfortable to ride. I was mostly doing weirdo Lucero-style flatground and curb tricks like the one right at the beginning of his Label Kills part. Tequila! So make of that what you will.

Really keen to try one of the various 8.25 eggs with some venture 5.2 lows!

Anyone done this? I’m not wondering if it would work, just want to see how sick it looks haha

So feel free to reply with pictures if you have tried this set up 👍

A couple years ago someone was rocking them on an enjoi deedz egg and posted it here. It's in the setup thread somewhere but it is early and I can't remember how far back it was.

Thanks guys! Helpful replies! I’m really tempted by the Grimple 8.3
I basically want a wider board that I can still use my beloved lows on so that would probably be my best bet, does anyone know what the width is over the trucks on that deck ?

This is the same as the Cromer Lil' Snuff, yeah? 5.2 lows would be fine on it for sure.

If someone is trying to find some technical advantage of riding a shape that isn’t a popsicle maybe it’s just not for you.
For me riding a shaped board is a mix of boredom and being sentimental/nostalgic about skating back in the early 90’s.
Everyone’s experience is different but that’s just how it is for me.

Quoting an old post, but this made me wonder.  Never ridden a shaped board.  Do eggs functionally skate the same as a popsicle?  Or will it take a while to get used to it if I plan on skating how I normally would?  Not looking for a technical advantage, but want to try something different without throwing my skating off

I'd say they skate about as close to a popsicle as a shaped board will get. I mean, they're essentially popsicles with a beer belly. I also find that they skate closer to the width over the trucks than the width at the center. For example, my 9.4 egg is 9.0 at the front and back trucks. I feel like it skates like a 9" popsicle. Not dead on, mind you. But pretty damn close.

Eggs are far superior to pops once you dial in your preferred dimensions with the trucks you like to skate.

CROSSPOST FROM SETUP THREAD - I just bought the Gold Heroin Symmetrical Egg 9x31.8 a couple of weeks ago. I decided to grab the 8.75x32 from my local yesterday as a backup. I also swapped out my Venture 6.1 Regular Kaders for 6.1 V-Hollow with Bones medium bushings. I picked up the wheels a couple of weeks back from my local, Spitfire F4 Conical 97. I'm running Bones Swiss Ceramic and Ace hollow hardware.

Who are some pro's besides Franky Villani who skate this shape?
I believe Franky rides his with Thunder 151s and 54mm spitfires.

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it, but I think this board shape is actually very practical and a little bit slept on. for me going to this shape felt really easy from always skating 8" boards, because it basically has the nose and tail of those size boards. you just get a ton more room in the middle to land on. also, since they typically have a tucked in wheelbase, and stumpier noses and tails (in relation to how wide the board is, you see 6.5"-6.75" tail / 7" nose, and 14.25 wb) it 360 flips a lot easier.

A word about the grip job.

The kanji on the grip say ‘gaman’ which means ‘to put up with’, or ‘to endure’.
It’s basically beat into every person here that you have to just ‘endure’ problems and shitty situations instead of actively find solutions.

What are the advantages of the egg shape? Doubt I'll ever find one small enough to try but I'm curious.

There is actually a huge advantage to riding an egg board with small drawback.
Ideally what you really want to do is find an egg board that is way larger in width, but similar or exactly the same as the WB you are currently riding.
Egg Boards are shaved in big time on the nose and tail, so the kicks end up being more what you are used to if you have been riding an 8" board all these years like me. Also, since the wheelbase is tucked in, you get all the benefits of having a fat board (more room to land on, wider turning radius) without having to get used to Massive wheelbase and humongous kicks. the geometry of an egg boards allows for such beautiful 3 flips as well because it's center of gravity is super tight like the planet saturn with the rings around it. Imo you want to ride super small wheels if possible on these boards so you can turn like crazy without getting wheelbite.

the disadvantages - it is very difficult to find the correct position to scoop from.  I compare it to playing a violin vs playing guitar. there are no frets to guide you like there is a deep pocket on a BBS board. if you are very good at the trick though you can find the place and damn it feels fucking money to actually figure it out .

another huge disadvantage is the overall weight of the board is going to be much more because of the extra material. i personally dont mind this at all for 95% of my skating, but i was finding to do like a high heelflip manny , i was struggling compared to using my 8" board. but i can do manny kickflip on the egg and it felt so mcuh better than doing it on a 8" board. the weight of it just felt so tactile once i snapped and caught it bolts on my front foot. i have heelflip mannyd some dope shit on this board too though, it definintely still works !!

i ride Franky's board 9.125" with 14.25" wb
I rode 8" x 14" wb from like 2005-2022
before i got my first egg, i had anti hero shpae board 8.75 x 14.75" wb and it felt way too long (last  christmas i got that one and then i got the egg the following summer)
i am riding 8.5" x 14.5" right now as well as kinda my main outside board since septemeber and its ok but it feels long. i would ride the egg board for indoor parks over the winter and didnt feel hard to switch between them at all.
i like doing 3 flips more on the egg than i do on the 8.5".

Heroin 8.75 symmetrical
Good as new Venture 5.8s and Snot 97a 52mms

I'm used to riding the Ishod 8.5 twin shape with Ventures. That comes out to a whopping 17.9" effective wheelbase. The egg reigns that in to 17.4", so I'm pretty interested to see what that difference feels like.

I'm planning on making a cruiser setup with the egg if I don't like it for my regular skating. I'm guessing it would pair well with wider trucks for that purpose?

^ Yeah, effective wheelbase, so deck wheelbase plus whatever the trucks push the wheelbase out.
14.5" for the deck + 3.4" for the forged baseplate Ventures = 17.9". That's also pretty wide for most folks, but definitely not as preposterous as an 18" deck wheelbase + trucks would be. I'm pretty insensitive to wheelbase changes in general but I'm sure that's way beyond skateable.

Independent Stage 4 146
Powell Peralta Dragons 56mm 93a
Bones Ceramics Super Reds

I put on the trucks I had at the moment and planned on putting on wider trucks when I get home, but honestly so far the board feels surprisingly really nice with this size truck so I may end up just sticking with it.

I got a couple of those on sale a while back, but the main thing for me that I liked about this shape is that the board has a really decent tail, compared to some of the other egg shapes I have had or seen.

The Heroin board just felt like my foot was about to fall off the end of every trick, but this one is more like the Huffer in that the tail is decently long and still makes everything feel like a normal board.

Just my opinion anyway, but it is interesting to see.

lets say you normally ride a 9.0
what would be the most comparable egg in terms of width?

I usually go by truck width, so width over the end bolts on an egg shaped board is what I would measure, more so than the actual width or the widest point, but I think others definitely change things up a bit differently, or ride smaller trucks on a similar sized board to a popsicle of the same width, if that makes sense.

Eg I would ride a Huffer 9.12 or so on 159s that I would put on 8.75 popsicles, but an orange eagle which I have 169s on would fit better on a 9.5 egg shaped board that I have here, which doesn't feel that much wider overall, but is a bit shorter all up.

That Black Label 9.0 above is another one that I put 149s on and it worked, better than wider trucks, but I could have gone with 159s if I wanted the wheels out further.  Either way it definitely didn't feel like a 9" wide board and felt more like a fun sized 8.6 or so.

Shaped boards often don't feel as wide as what their specs / widest point might be, with brands like Welcome having information on their shaped guide saying something like "Skates like a X.XX sized popsicle" but personal opinion as to what feels comfortable has a lot to do with it as well.


Quite a number of egg boards just feel too small in the tail for me, but I know others love that fact about them and that is why they like them, with the wider middle but the more nimble kicks.

Haha if you want to see an egg shape with an unnecessarily small tail, the DLX 8.75" egg shape has you covered.

I'm definitely liking this Black Label egg, the size of the kicks are really nice and comfy without being wide and blocky like old school decks.

I guess there are a lot more people who want shorter wheelbases and twin options, hence this particular "new" shape which anyone can use who get BBS / Generator boards.

At least there are no shortages of Huffer, so that one is still there in which ever graphic they do to keep people happy who do like the Huffer boards, but that specific shape is DLX property, so they wouldn't be making one of those to let just anyone have that board in their range.


It is not really an egg as such, but the Welcome Golem shape is a pretty good one I had been eyeing off for a while, especially now they are on BBS and I got a couple on sale recently.

Width (inches)    9.25
Length (inches)    32.6
Wheelbase (inches)    14.75

Squared off tail, but really good dimensions and feel which work well on 9" trucks too.

If you haven't seen it, check it out.

What’s the consensus on a football/egg shape for Ace 66’s? I’m not really concerned about wheelbase or anything like that. When I ride popsicles I normally ride 8.25 with 8.5 trucks so whatever would be closest to that preferably. I understand with 9” trucks I might not be able to get something that skates exactly like an 8.25, mainly I’m just looking for a deck where the trucks don’t have a shit ton of overhang

Would you guys consider the AH Brown Bomber an egg? Tail is a little squared off I guess.

Are these discontinued? I’ve been holding onto one for a couple years and I’m hesitant to set it up if so.

Yeah, I already did that and the response was that in the near future (1 to 2 months) they are able to do that, because, as you mentioned, they updated webshop to a new one, so it is still in the works.

So It looks like I'm gonna settle with grimple 8.38 egg/flyer. Does anybode know specs of  8.38 flyer shape?

It’s a normal wheelbase, like 14.25 in., but it’s a pretty short board overall. The tail is super short and more tapered than the nose. Kicks feel pretty mellow to me. 8 in. trucks work, 8.25 are probably ideal. Mid/low truck brands and sub-54mm wheels were a good combo (I rode it on the new Royals and 53mm F4 OG Classics).

I skate pretty much exclusively flatground, lots of flip tricks, fakie kickflip variations, heelflip tricks etc. I missed out on the egg shape as i started skating in 2000... recently i've found myself eyeing them up as it looks like something a little different.

Would i be crazy in trying to make a shape like that work for purely flat sessions, or are they not really built for it? is there an egg that would approximate to an 8.25/.5 popsicle with a 14" WB?

In theory, an egg should flip and rotate quicker because there’s proportionately more mass around the center, so they‘re probably suited pretty well to flat, to be honest. Definitely gives you a little something different for the parking lot sessions.

From personal experience, I find they are actually easier to flip with less effort and they maybe come around faster, but I also find it more difficult to hit the right spot on the nose for the flick. The scoop is nice on an egg, too.

Cheers mate, I actually saw that tired 8.65 earlier, found one on sale here in the UK so going to take a punt on it, because why not?!

I've got a spare set of 148 thunders on the shelf, wonder if the width at the truck bolts will work with those? Looks like it could.

hey eggheads, anyone tried the krooked cr-egg? have feelings, etc? the specs listed on tactics look kind of fun to try & i'm wondering how much it actually tapers. for reference i really like the metal raybourn egg which is a little shorter in both length and wb, which is why i'm eyeing the aforementioned cr-egg

Anyone ever skated this Eggball shape from Imperfects? Says it’s a twin, 8.75 in. wide w/ 14.5 in. wheelbase. I’ve always liked this graphic, and the dims, shape, and stains have piqued my interest in grabbing one for a future setup. I don’t think I’ve skated a deck made at Watson since the late 90s, either. How are they?

finally got around to setting up the Curb Killer 2. i've had the first one too, allways had trouble with how short the tail is on these. but i think figurd it out. i took off my risers now and it feels normal. besides the super easy wheelbite that is.

i got a curb killer 4 next. so that will solve the tail issue for good i guess.

I've never skated a shaped board but the egg does seem intriguing. Just curious, what difference do actually see between these egg or other shaped boards and the traditional popsicle shape? Are flips tricks easier? Do you prefer them for slappys or transition? I always assumed the difference was purely aesthetic so curious if it actually makes for better skating
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: Frank and Fred on May 31, 2023, 02:24:35 PM
I think eggs make a wide board more flippable. So they feel as comfortable on flat as they might in a pool. You have a good amount of real estate in the middle of the deck making you feel secure on transition but the taper helps flips and responsiveness...

Just my a personal theory. Of course egg shapes now vary wildly in shape and dimensions.

My favorite egg shape is the Huffer but that has its own secret sauce... A big WB and wide out the back truck but still a deck I can do my best flip tricks on.... And the tail while tapered still have a nice amount of area for tail blocks and other snazzy tricks I like to attempt. Finally it has a pointyish nose which helps with shallow end slashing and jersey barrier knifing.

Its all in my head and yours... what looks good beneath thy feet?
Title: Re: Egg Shaped Boards
Post by: secretvape on May 31, 2023, 03:30:22 PM
Im on the qausi egg, best board I ridden. The nose and tail are different which I like, it's just super comfortable and doesn't change how you skate, flip tricks are a lil slower but flip trips are wack anyway and I don't even skate anymore, but I will sometime maybe. Small wheels too. Noseslides on deck waddup we on eggs

Not sure about the 8.8", but the 9" is 8.5 over trucks and the 8.75" is 8.38 over trucks. Those are both symmetrical eggs, but I'd imagine the 8.8" is somewhere in the middle.

I have Ace 44 Classics on my symmetrical 8.8 and over the trucks the deck is maybe a mm or two wider than the axles. Not to induce any madness in you, but I'd say the type of wheels you're going to rock is also going to impact which trucks would be best. I run conicals on this setup, so the wheels and the deck are perfectly aligned. If you go for a slimmer shape, you can probably get level alignment with 8.5 axles. And of course it's all up to preference in the end anyway.

The tail felt super small and weird, I redrilled the back truck up a bit to give me a little more room but I think the shape just sucks and can’t be saved.

Absolutely in love with Heroin’s 9” symmetrical egg. I was on the 9.4 for a bit and love that as well, but sizing down has brought me more in line with the 8.75 popsicles that were my go to over the last 5 years.

Kinda bummed they did a directional graphic on a symmetrical deck, but I guess that’s subjective.

I use 149s on my 9” symmetrical. So whatever they translates to in ACEs. The board is around 8.75 at the bolts.

Realistically I could use 159s as well (and I have), but I like 149s better for some reason.

Yeah, no definite this and not that but it also depends if you have them on hand, or have to go get more trucks.  Always trying whatever you have there first might save you some money and you can always get the 60s later if you want the in between, as per info below.

Maybe go very roughly like this, although it is still down to personal opinion as well as the width of the wheels you have on them and how many washers on the inside of each wheel.

149 = AF1 55 - 8.5" axle (sits a little under)
159 = AF1 60 - 8.75" axle (sits even)
169 = AF1 66 - 9" axle (sits a little out)

* 169 = 9.125" but for argument sake, just say it is closest to 9" to match up to the Ace AF1 66s.

Is it the consensus 'round these parts that its better to have the axles flush with the board above the axles, compared to flush with the middle of the deck?

edit: Grammar


Yes I think a lot of people prefer no axle or wheel sticking out or even visible, so prefer magic carpet to hot rod, but some people do just use whatever they have or prefer wider axles on shaped boards for more stability.

I usually try to get the axles as close to the board width as possible so measuring across at the end bolts of both kicks gives the truck axle width, even if one might be more than the other, but I don't mind a bit sticking out at the back if the front is at least even, especially if the board is wider through the middle.  That is within reason though, cause some boards have way too much taper to have that work well.

A board with 9.4 over the front bolts and 8.6 over the back bolts was just too much for me, so I took it off, but I tried both 159s and 169s on it and they both worked for different things well enough.

Yeah anything a 9” or like the villani 9.1” egg I’d go with  8.75” but the heroin 9.4” and up I’d go 9” axle. Until you get to the 10” eggs then prob better with the 9.5” axle aces

I asked Avi on Instagram and he couldn’t remember the size, but another person responded that ACE 55 classics, ACE 60 AF1s or Indy 159s should do the trick. I think 149s would probably work as well. I’d imagine it’s just a bit above 8.5 at the bolts.

Krooked makes an 8.25 egg. Also, Heroin has made smaller eggs in the past. Not sure they got down to 8" though.

This is the smallest remotely 8” egg I can find.
But with eggs I imagine. You’d want something wider than usual, in the middle, but same size at the trucks.
This would probably skate nice with 8” trucks.

Not meaning to clog up the thread here with too many pics or info, but it seems more and more companies are making the egg shaped boards, or at least some variation on the pointed nose and tail theme, be it more pointed at the nose end or some more pointed at the tail end.

I do like looking at the top of the board pics, not just artist depictions of the top of boards.

The Metal 9.0 egg shape is nice. I posted one in the setup thread not too long ago. Alien offers the same shape with different graphics and they also have an 8.75 Egg.

Good to know, been wanting a Metal board in the back of my mind for some time now.

Guessing you have already looked at the Egg Shaped board thread?  If not, that is a fun thread to check out.

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=100279.0


Also depends on the tail, given some are very small pointy things and others have a decent tail that skates more like a normal board, in particular but not limited to the AH Huffer 9.12 shape and the Black Label 9" egg shape, both of which I have and feel comfortable, but that is just me anyway.

https://blacklabelskates.bigcartel.com/product/jake-reuter-chains-9-0-egg


Any particular size you were wanting?


Also note, the trucks usually go about 1/4" down from the overall width of the board, sometimes more depending on where you like them to sit, eg 9" board fits 8.75" trucks well, or the 9.12 Huffer fits 9" trucks well, but again that is more personal preference.  Some will ride even more narrow trucks than that on those same boards.
[close]

Yeah I was aware, I think I was more interested in the early-90s shapes, which I guess in essence is an egg shape.


The funny thing with the early 90s shapes, I guess also depending on which board company or even which year as things moved very quickly is the nose was often more pointy than the tail, whereas quite a few egg shapes tend to have a smaller tail and a bigger wider nose now.  I know this is not always the case, but I was comparing quite a few other shaped boards, in particular the Grosso shape that would work really well if I just rounded off the corners of the nose and tail.  That might be too much work for the effort vs the result, but boards like the Huffer shape really show this well.

When pressure flips and similar tricks came in, tails got a lot smaller and way more tapered, so if you are more interested in that style of board, there are a few others around as well that would work, but it all comes down to approximately what size you are interested in, eg Krooked 8.25 Cromer, DLX Flyer shape 8.75, Black Label 9, Crail Love seat or Phawt 9+ and lots more too.

Sorry to go on, but there really are a lot and quite a few variations on the same theme, from when boards went from squared wide tails, down to almost nothing then back to popsicles within two to three years max, with some brands going way more extreme than others too.

As a point of reference, just looking at Tactics as almost anyone worldwide can see their stuff, I can see boards from DLX, Frog, Quasi, Uma, Metal, Black Label and others.

Throwing in the Primitive Franky Villani egg at 9.125'. I took this for a ride the first time today and managed to do all my basic ollies, pop shoves and 180s very well. I am not used to such large boards but even less to such large wheels (58mm) and I expected this to be sluggish and heavy but I got fatter pop than on my regular street set up. I even eked out a kickflip. I did not buy it for flips tho and I am amazed how Franky manages to do his fliptrick on this board tbh. Anyway, super fun deck.

i ride this board as well i just dont have that awesome graphic!
I might get the Reverb board its on sale right now actually...

I think mine would be amazing for flip tricks if i didnt have such heavy trucks on it. Franky rides Thunders which are infinitely better for flip tricks than Aces are. When I axle these Aces I am going to try it with Thunders instead and I think it might just become my main setup...

The thing is too its an incredible curb board. with rails on it feels amazing to do combos on. I dont even really need it to flip lol it works so well to skate it this way. I can make the Aces work it just feels like a very delayed pop.

I am not used to such large boards but even less to such large wheels (58mm) and I expected this to be sluggish and heavy but I got fatter pop than on my regular street set up. I even eked out a kickflip. I did not buy it for flips tho and I am amazed how Franky manages to do his fliptrick on this board tbh. Anyway, super fun deck.
[close]

i ride this board as well i just dont have that awesome graphic!
I might get the Reverb board its on sale right now actually...

I think mine would be amazing for flip tricks if i didnt have such heavy trucks on it. Franky rides Thunders which are infinitely better for flip tricks than Aces are. When I axle these Aces I am going to try it with Thunders instead and I think it might just become my main setup...

The thing is too its an incredible curb board. with rails on it feels amazing to do combos on. I dont even really need it to flip lol it works so well to skate it this way. I can make the Aces work it just feels like a very delayed pop.

Funny you mention that. I've been flip flopping between Thunder and Ace on an egg recently and even though my Thunders (Team hollows) are way lighter than my AF1s, my flip tricks are just better with Ace.

Ace just might suit my old man sloppiness though. On Thunder when I'm on my game  things feel really quick, snappy and precise. But at the moment I am not on my game, so Ace work way better for me...

When I get used to it, I can make the aces really go. I just feel like I miss the timing a lot on aces for some reason. but certain tricks feel fucking amazing- for some reason for me, its half cab kickflips. They just freaking go on this egg setup for me and i am doing them higher than i ever have. it might be because of the way you wind up for that tricks calls for a bit later timing, or at least the way i do them.

Aces pop timing just feels late to me and for me that = harder. so its not necessarily for everyone - i just thought it felt way easier to do flip tricks as high as i want on thunders! it feels like i never miss the timing. i guess my brain just works that way.

I should put my little 148s on the egg just for an experiment to see if i actually do like it better.

Purchased a 8.0 Magenta Jameel Douglas 90s Egg shape and needed the slap communities knowledge for truck size.

I want Royals so I can carve maneuver easier. 139 or 127? Regular or ultra lights ?

I’m an older skater and just looking for flat ground,curbs,mannys and old school stuff.

I threw it in the ol online measuring tool and got 7.73 over the back trucks and 7.68 over the front. My rec would just be to do 8" trucks since your trucks are liable to outlast the deck and there's no telling if that shape will be available in the future. That's just sorta how it goes with shaped decks. With 8" trucks you can go up to a super common 8.25 and still be totally workable and then snap up another 8" egg if there are more to come.

Literally just made an account to comment on this thread, which seems to come up on every Google search for anything related to egg boards!

Looking for some advice. I can’t really try out an egg board but want to get one and give it a go but not sure what size to get and then similarly what size trucks to get.

I skated as a kid and now back on the board in my 30s. Bought a fairly cheap 8.25” popsicle complete and been having fun for a couple of months doing 50-50s, boardslides (intermittently!), rock to fakies, etc. so almost back to where I was as a kid. However, my feet have grown since then and with size 12UK/13US, my deck doesn’t seem big enough.

Been looking at the Heroin 8.9” boards, which I believe tapers to 8.5” over the trucks? So I could match with some 149mm indys or something similarly sized? I like the sound of this setup because it’s not a massive jump from my current deck up to the 9.0+” eggs out there.

Has anyone dipped their toes in with eggs boards like this but then wished they’d gone bigger? Or conversely, gone the other way and back to popsicles?

My hope is that I can settle on a setup that keeps the same trucks, as decks come and go (snap) but trucks last longer. With that thought, I’m maybe thinking about getting 159mm/151 trucks so if I want to go bigger later on, I could.

Anyone, I’m waffling. I should probably just buy one and skate it myself but thought I’d ask the egg hive mind first!

The mini Flyer shape that Grimple runs on occasion is nice on 8.25 trucks. Has a small tail, but it’s pretty mellow, so kinda similar to how a Quasi tail works with Ventures.

I started my egg addiction w/ an American Dream 8.75" egg (went from riding 8.5 or 8.62 popsicles), but it felt small - got a Grimple Gerwer 9.12" (pretty sure it's a 14.5" WB) which I love, and kept the 149s I always ride.  Rode a few, then wanted to try something a little wider w/ shorter WB though, so got a Heroin symmetrical 9.5" (14.25" WB I think) - also got 159s for it.   That felt a little over wide, tail felt too long, so busted out the belt sander - reshaped it to 9.25" w/ a shorter tail and taper towards the tail, keeping the 159s.  Today just realized I recreated the Real TG Script 9.2", which has a 14" WB which appeals to me so I ordered that too.  Loving the Heroin reshape, but don't always want to go through that kinda hassle. Sorry that was hella lengthy.

I am sure I had seen boards on here with both, but looking back it only seems to be Indy 169s or Ace trucks, no 215s.

Guessing people could put 215s on them, but I have probably said too often, the 215 truck just seems excessive on most boards, even those in the 10" width variety and 169s or wider Ace trucks just look like they fit better.

All down to what people want to ride though, so I am sure someone out there has put 215s on one.


This post might be a good one to look at though:

I won a Heroin Curb Killer from their latest contest and I wanna make a dedicated curb setup out if it, but I was wondering which size trucks to get. I have some Ace 55s laying around but I guess that they'll be a tad narrow on a 10 inch egg. Indy 215s seem to stick out a bit as the egg shape tapers quite a lot, any suggestions on the best fitting truck?
[close]

Congrats!  Super fun board.

I've skated it with 77s and 215s.  It tapers to 9.6 over the trucks so 77s do fit bitter and in general make the board feel more nimble.  The 215's make it feel really stable and I don't really notice them poking out.  I would say it comes down to your preference in Ace vs. Indy but if you plan on doing anything tech or flipping it, definitely get the 77s

That makes sense! I actually have a set of 169s, but figured they’d be too narrow since the board is 9.5 at the bolts. I’ll try em!

finally got around to setting up the Curb Killer 2. i've had the first one too, allways had trouble with how short the tail is on these. but i think figurd it out. i took off my risers now and it feels normal. besides the super easy wheelbite that is.

i got a curb killer 4 next. so that will solve the tail issue for good i guess.

Confirming that 9" Indys work pretty well with the 10" Curb Killer. I thought I had 169s (9.125"), but I actually had a set of the Stage 4 166s, which are a true 9" truck. Still, worked really well. Slightly magic carpet, but just barely. Very surfy!

it works fine. its my 2nd time running it with these trucks. theres a some magic carpet, but nothing uncomfortable. tho thats preference.
i much prefer the 169's over 215's as to how they turn and lock and all that.

my friend has one setup with my old 215's, with classic shaped wheels you won't really notice the hotrod either, so both work. pretty sure Ira rides the 215s on it too.

my advice is if you have the 169's and are already used to riding those, try those first before jumping the gun and buying other trucks.

Just to see what it looked like, more than anything, I put a set of 215s on the Heroin egg that I have and although they stuck out a bit, it was not as bad as I thought.  Overall though, I prefer 169s or even the Ace Classic 66s rather than the wider Indy 215 or Ace bigger sizes, as 9.5" or so trucks are about the widest I find work for me.

Other people could easily put wider trucks on and be happy as per some of the other pics and info I have seen.

No way. Eggs/ footballs were a wonderful stop over on the way to popsicles in the early 90s. I’m pretty sure other companies reintroduced them before or around the same time as Heroin. The Huffer for instance. Heroin have certainly gone above and beyond with the variations and celebrations of this most treasured skateboard shape though.

Not sure when the first Huffer came out, but it was around the same time I think, maybe slightly later. Of course, these are all just rehashes of that brief window of egg shapes in the early 90s.

Heroin have certainly made the biggest name for the "egg shaped board" in recent years, but I think 1992 - 1993 was the main time for those sort of shapes, as said above.  I had a board from around 1992 from The Firm, which was to me one of the most influential shapes I had skated, which took me from 80s squared tail ramp skating to 90s street and mini tech skating and I feel like that was the single most progressive and fun board I had.

Things got very tight from about 1994 onwards, so there was minimal change and interest in "shaped boards" for the majority of the industry for a long time after that, but some people still made different boards, which included egg shapes or punk points or whatever else.


From my post, on the Huffer shape in this graphic which may have come out around 2008 - 2009 going by past catalogs and info, which at the time was so weird it was interesting, but I just couldn't set it up at the time, but being on clearance and seeing something different, I thought I would give it a shot.

Post:

I bought this deck a long time ago, maybe around 2010 from a clearance bin in Lodown, a Sydney skate shop and sat on it for a while, then passed it on to someone in need, who skated it for quite a while before it was retired and came back to me. It was going to go on the board wall, but then when I bought the trucks from eBay last year, I set it back up with some of my old wheels from maybe 2005 or so.

Were Heroin the first company to make egg shaped decks?

No way. Eggs/ footballs were a wonderful stop over on the way to popsicles in the early 90s. I’m pretty sure other companies reintroduced them before or around the same time as Heroin. The Huffer for instance. Heroin have certainly gone above and beyond with the variations and celebrations of this most treasured skateboard shape though.

There's a nice little history recap on Heroin's site. http://www.heroinskateboarding.com/blog/2020/10/20/egg-history The first Shimizu egg was in 2016, and then it built up from there. Not sure when the first Huffer came out, but it was around the same time I think, maybe slightly later. Of course, these are all just rehashes of that brief window of egg shapes in the early 90s. Can't remember anyone else really doing it in earnest before 2016 tho.

I love that the first Huffer graphic was a reference to his first pro model in Black Label in 92(?)—which also happened to be football shaped.

Yeah I was stoked the Cardiel Label board was reissued too, but I don't recall seeing any come out here besides the normal RRP of $149 or more and they sold like hot cakes, but I never saw any of them back in the day either, so the Huffer is pretty much the only one of that shape, besides The Firm deck, I still have and have skated.

At least seeing some of the pics and video from back then, he sure did get the most out of it.

Similar overall but the Primitive Egg is not symmetrical.


Specs show different dimensions but generally they look like this:

9.125 wide
32 and a bit long
14.3 ish wb

Super small tail on the one I saw in a shop, but some people like that.


This is a decent link with specs, pics and info:

Won this deck in a raffle Fos put on a month or 2 ago. Gave me an excuse to get some Ace 77s and set up a Christmas complete.

Took this out for a curb session later in the day and the 10” egg is wild! I usually run the 9.4 and this is so much bigger. Also had to get adjusted to Aces as I’ve only run Indys for the last 3 decades.

This thing is a boat but it’s a blast.

How are you guys measuring WB? From the closest edges of the bolt holes instead of the center of one bolt hole to the other might make the 1/8" discrepancy you're getting.

for my personal sanity, you measure center to center, not tangent to tangent, correct?

I rode Huffer for a bit but it just feels way too long for anything else than transition. Heroin's boards look interesting but the price tag seems kinda crazy. Something between 14.25-14.5 wb should be good. I ride trucks between 8.5-9".

Did you like the Polar 8.75 football? Maybe try the Primitive Villani egg. Very 9.125 at widest, about 8.75-ish over trucks if I remember correctly, 14.3 WB and 32.2 length. It was actually designed by Fos for Frankie/Primitive. And I think he did the first graphic too.

Heroin’s 9.4 shape is amazing. I had the Shellraiser graphic. The 9.5 symmetrical is also great. Both with medium wheelbases and lengths, which I dig.

Yeah, they seemed the best and most interesting choises for me so I might cop one sooner or later. I've been on Polar and Crailtap egg/football/square tail shapes for some time and not into popsicles nowadays. Super wide egg shape seems like a good compromise right now.

I've just dug through about 40 pages of this thread looking at eggs. Man forums are great, stuff doesn't get lost to the ether like Facebook etc.

Picked up this 9.75 Dressen Guest Egg by Heroin from the local shop. Set up on Ace 77 and some 53mm Powell Dragons. I've been riding 9" square tail jobs for about 8 years now I think so it's weird having a symmetrical.

Surprising amount of pop for how big it is! I think because the tail is quite long?

It looks like most people have been setting up Ace 66 or 169s on these, any reason people aren't going bigger? I like things to line up just right or it feels wrong.

Tried an 8.8 fried egg before this, but it feels tiny. Think maybe a 9.25-9.5 would be spot on.

Looks great. I was wondering what trucks people would put on the Dressen egg. Those 77s look perfect.

the heroin catalog states that the dressen is 9.25 over the trucks. What are 77s? 9.5?

Yeah the 77s are 9.5". I saw Fos recommend 77s on Instagram. I think he's running Classic 66 (9.35") on the symmetrical 9.5" egg so makes sense to bump up.

Everytime I go to a new shop I try to at least buy a t shirt or something and a few weeks ago I picked up a shellraiser shirt for Halloween.

Kind of a poser though as I'm not much of an egg guy (do the deedz or lotti footballs count) but I did notice today that what I'm skating right now - the Polar surf jr. shape - is basically the front half of an egg with a square tail. Is there a short 8.75 egg on the market that doesn't have a 14wb? I like short boards and short kicks don't bother me.

Sounds like a winner but I have a few questions. Is it mega steep like the eagles? I can always try to source a VI stamp but some of the dlx boards ive skated in the past felt like it took months to flatten out enough to be comfortable and the eagles are just hopeless for me. Also do you know if that's 31.5 with concave or 31.5 tip to tip? Tip to tip 31.5 is in the upper end of what I'm really enjoying these days, but 31.5 with concave would be pretty close to my sweet spot.

Does anyone know of a PS stix egg or half-egg on the shorter side?

The Quasi has been PS in previous drops. But that does have a 13.75 WB, I believe.

I don’t skate Eagles, but the Flyer isn’t steep. It’s fairly flat IMO, being a 1993 style shape and concave.

Haven’t measured it, but I did have a Surf Jr which I swapped out for the Flyer, and the Surf Jr was significantly shorter.

The Flyer has the regular BBS concave. It will vary in steepness based on where it sat in the pile when it was pressed. 1 to 4. 1 = steeper, 4 = mellower. You can tell by the roman numerals stamped on top of the deck.

Its not a 1993 style concave but that would be cool

I'm on the 9.5 Razor with wheelwells. It's an amazingly fun board. FOS said that's his go to shape and won't be retiring it. while it might not be in this HO23 drop, I would think it'll be in the SP24 drop. So just keep your eyes peeled.

I guess maybe it would have been flatter than you might think. There was a phenomenon that doesn't come up much any more where steeper was better. Vert boards had mellow tails and conventional wisdom was that the steeper the tail, the better it was for ollies. H-Street through Uncle Wiggly started putting out boards with really steep tails and more dramatic concave than anyone else at the time. See the Visalia YMCA edit in Shackle Me Not for an example of this. They were so hyped on it that there's a sample of maybe Mike T saying HellConcave a buncha times.

This held until Rodney started working at the World woodshop and pulling things back toward freestyle dims which resulted in much more mellow tails and overall concave. Right now I would saw we sit pretty much in the middle of that with something like a DLX BBS board. In 89 I got a Ron Allen that had a tail so steep that I kinda thought it was too much. In 90 I got a Gonz Blind board and thought the tail looked too mellow but that was that new shit.

I have a Mini Flyer. Concave seems normal through the middle, but the kicks seem relatively mellow compared to the Eagles I normally skate. The tail is short on both shapes, though, so it’s still pretty snappy with a quick pop, in my opinion. I like mid-height trucks on it.

Concaves went through a very mellow stage in the early 90s. Probably a reaction to the angular and staged concaves of the late 80s.

As others have said.. Boards were flatter and more mellow in the kicks back then, it wasn't all that far removed from the plank with a tail days before concave was even used. The molds were pretty primitive compared to the 3d modeled CNC molds they use now. Prime was kind of the BBS of the day, pressing boards for the biggest companies, and they had a mellow street mold so that's what everyone copied. Kinda like how FA happened and then all of a sudden everyone had square popsicles for sale.

One time I got really ripped and came up with a conspiracy theory that the reason Chinese boards tend to be flat is that Prime sold off their molds overseas when the original operation shut down in the 90s and everyone over there ended up inadvertently copying them again. Definitely not true, but it was a fun thought.

Also, once you get into the mid-90s you had P.S. making those early flat Girl boards, especially for MC. I cannot for the life of me remember the mold name. Ben Degros talked about it in the video he did at the P.S. factory.

Not quite accurate. in the late 80s and very early 90s, concaves were really advncaced and more complicated than now. you had H-Street hell concave and Santa Cruz cruise missile 1 and 2 concaves. Those had rocker, and varying angles throughout the board. Really cool to check out. Have a look at a Santa Cruz Tom Knox reissue for reference. Anyway, when boards started slimming down and heading in the direction of popsicles. concaves went really flat again. eggs and footballs were pretty mellow and flat back then for sure but not because there was no concave prior.

You can actually still get boards on that mold. Girl does reissues through PS here and there that are original dimensions and the super mellow mold. I have one of the Jovantae Turner ones but theyve also done a couple Carroll ones including the Astro boy 7.5 that just dropped. They did some 93 tils and an 8.25 blm board for Jeron Wilson through PS a few years back too but I don't think those were on the OG mold.

They're in shops right now so don't drag your feet. It's the 7.5 Astro boy. I know where to get some dead stock Jeron 8.25s too if you want...I dunno if it's the same mold but the bannerot 8.25 had a really weird short nose that was mellower than the tail. Switch and nollie dudes would probably love it but I didn't.

But yeah, they usually go pretty fast and a lot of them go to the collectors and reseller folks so nows the time to start looking...you can try hitting crail up and asking if they know what shops got them, that's what I'd do. If that doesn't work there's always eBay.

Got it. Those concaves were fucked. I had a Knox reissue that had the staged and rockered Cruise Missile concave and it was actually pretty skateable but a nightmare to go between that an other boards.

Re-read that. I didn't say there was no concave prior to the 90s, I said it wasn't that far removed from the days prior to it. Its just placing where it was on the timeline, not a comprehensive history of concave. I actually have one of the hell concave Hensley reissues haha, Tony Mag says it's the original mold but I dunno... I'd love to get an OG and compare it


[close]

Got it. Those concaves were fucked. I had a Knox reissue that had the staged and rockered Cruise Missile concave and it was actually pretty skateable but a nightmare to go between that an other boards.

Oh I've made one attempt at the Hensley and then it went back in a box somewhere instantly. Took the trucks off and everything, which I rarely do unless I'm moving them to a different setup. When I bought it I was under the impression it was Watson wood but the other 2 Watson pressed H streets I had were natural tops (Tony ain't springing for more than one dyed ply these days I guess) and this one was blue so maybe he gave the hell mold to that legend skates dude. Shit is crazy deep, definitely deeper than almost every production mold out there save maybe the pennswood deep dish. If you ever get a chance to try one of those it's worth it just to say you've done it, but it's borderline impossible to skate with old legs. I ghost popped on it like crazy no matter what I tried.

That's the 9.13 one. I (regrettably) already did a deep dive on the jart site and didn't come up with anything. I did find one of the short cruiser shapes that caught my eye but it might be too short even for me and holy fuck are their graphics bad.

Sour was what I was initially hoping for when I saw it but they don't seem to really do shaped decks.

I ordered this board from Tactics and excited to use it.

I also ordered some Indy 169 (9.125 in) trucks for it. But now I saw this photo and it says 8.88 over the trucks and thinking maybe my trucks will be too wide? I also have some Venture 8.5 that I could use, but not sure which would work better.

I think for this setup you either want 169s or 159s. I'd go with the 159 so the wheels are a bit tucked in, but 169s aren't going to hot rod too much. I think the Venture 8.5s might be a but too magic carpet for my liking, but, of course, tastes vary.

You should be good to go with the 169s!

Have to admit, I really love the chunkier eggs from Heroin. Stood on one today and immidiately felt it's going to be better for me than Huffer for example. It seems 32" in lenght and 14.25-14.5." wb is optimal for me. Also love how these dont even feel super big because of the slight taper.

Apologies if this has been discussed already...I searched for it but couldn't find anything.

I have a Heroin razor egg 9.5 symmetrical, and recently talked with another dude who had skated the same board. He said that the symmetrical boards have identical nose/tail lengths, but that the angle of the kick was still different. In other words, the nose was still a sharper angle, and maybe had a finger of flat before the kick, while the tail's angle was more chill and without the finger. Is this true? I've stared at it for so long I could hallucinate just about anything on it. Hoping someone knows for reals.

Thanks.

I think it may depend on when the egg was made. At one point, Heroin had a traditional mold on the double shovel shape before eventually putting that shape out on a true twin mold, where the angle of the kicks is the same. It may be possible that the symmetrical eggs went through the same phases but I can't myself say for sure. Also not all Heroin eggs are symmetrical so that might have been what was going on.

They just feel great under foot. Nose and tail steepness is a degree or two more mellow than the Quasi BBS boards I’ve skated, which is really nice. And they’re sturdy as hell. I wouldn’t call them heavy, but I’d venture a guess that they’re very slightly heavier than your typical BBS or PS. However, I don’t have a board that isn’t setup right now.

Cross post from Big Boys/Big Boards thread, new Curb Killer V on 77s with 58 OG classics and Snot stuff.

Last egg was a 9.1 Uma, liked it but really appreciate the extra size on this guy. Now tempted to splurge and get a Wide Boy to complete the large egg armada.  Rails are making a hefty board even porkier so I may pop them off at some point.

Bonus top shot for my eggheads.

Yeah I mostly ride shaped boards for curbs and cruising so I don't mind if it's a little chunky, hell I've even enjoyed skating waterlogged 18 stain pennswood boards in the past so I can't imagine it can be much heavier than those. I personally believe that the shape is far more important than the manufacturer when it comes to how well a board fits you so I don't mind thinking outside the box a little either. The only mfg I've outright disliked everything I tried regardless of shape has been control, every other woodshop I've found something that I like. Additionally some of the best boards I've skated have come from smaller shops that do a lot of the work by hand (RIP Watson, dunno if Gangemi/Popmaster is still a thing but loved those too) so I don't mind a few warts as long as it feels good under my feet. Glad to hear they're mellowish. There's a little shop north of me where the guy presses his own stuff, but it's way more primitive and the one he showed me was far too steep to be comfortable, the kicks had to be 25°+

I like what the dude is doing too, a lot of the guys who make boards that way try to market them as bespoke and charge double for them, but he's right around what you're going to pay for a heroin egg in shops these days. Seems like he's in it for the right reasons.

Does anyone here have a searat egg? I've been looking real hard at them lately and if he restocks the 8.5 I might have to pull the trigger.
[close]

I haven’t skated one of his eggs, but I have a 9” popsicle and two 9.25” Capt Walker Shovels from Sea Rat and they are absolutely phenomenal boards. Highly recommend.
[close]

what do you like about the sea rat popsicles?
[close]

They just feel great under foot. Nose and tail steepness is a degree or two more mellow than the Quasi BBS boards I’ve skated, which is really nice. And they’re sturdy as hell. I wouldn’t call them heavy, but I’d venture a guess that they’re very slightly heavier than your typical BBS or PS. However, I don’t have a board that isn’t setup right now.

Plus I like to support Dominic. One dude with his own molds, cutting, shaping and screening boards in his garage in San Diego. He’s always been super cool about answering my questions and even just bullshitting about boards.
[close]

Yeah I mostly ride shaped boards for curbs and cruising so I don't mind if it's a little chunky, hell I've even enjoyed skating waterlogged 18 stain pennswood boards in the past so I can't imagine it can be much heavier than those. I personally believe that the shape is far more important than the manufacturer when it comes to how well a board fits you so I don't mind thinking outside the box a little either. The only mfg I've outright disliked everything I tried regardless of shape has been control, every other woodshop I've found something that I like. Additionally some of the best boards I've skated have come from smaller shops that do a lot of the work by hand (RIP Watson, dunno if Gangemi/Popmaster is still a thing but loved those too) so I don't mind a few warts as long as it feels good under my feet. Glad to hear they're mellowish. There's a little shop north of me where the guy presses his own stuff, but it's way more primitive and the one he showed me was far too steep to be comfortable, the kicks had to be 25°+

I like what the dude is doing too, a lot of the guys who make boards that way try to market them as bespoke and charge double for them, but he's right around what you're going to pay for a heroin egg in shops these days. Seems like he's in it for the right reasons.

Cross post from Big Boys/Big Boards thread, new Curb Killer V on 77s with 58 OG classics and Snot stuff.

Last egg was a 9.1 Uma, liked it but really appreciate the extra size on this guy. Now tempted to splurge and get a Wide Boy to complete the large egg armada.  Rails are making a hefty board even porkier so I may pop them off at some point.

Bonus top shot for my eggheads.

I think for the most part the Heroin eggs are all on the shorter side with shorter wheelbases.

John Lucero is definitely out there doing his own shapes and sizes in the past for Black Label boards, so I would say this one is a special shape, not just something that someone else has done and they have used.

Yeah it’s interesting…I think all the BL popsicles are the generic BBS shapes, but BL does seem to pay for the other custom shapes. Probably gonna pick this egg up, just sucks it’s at the dawn of NE winter

They're definitely a bit more expensive, but he doesn't benefit from bulk supplies like BBS or PS or bulk ordering discounts like Skate Warehouse or CCS. Plus he's a one man shop. So I'm good with paying a bit more. But I do understand that, all told, his stuff runs about $20-$25 more including shipping than something like a Baker or AH you get off SW or CCS shipped FedEx Ground.

Any way, I'm just a big fan of his boards.

Yes, I'd even say it feels shorter due to the egg taper. I skated a Girl Mike Carroll popsicle board with a 6.3 tail and that felt more manageable. I ended up skating my Grimple egg backwards a lot of the time because of the small tail.

Rode one with a previous graphic, but same shape - really enjoyed it, was my first egg so it actually felt a little smaller than I expected, as I typically skate 8.75-9” boards. Set it up with both 55 classics and 6.1 Ventures, and found it lends itself better to a narrower truck. Some thunder 151s wouldy probably be a blast on it if that’s your jam.

You inspired me to pull it out of the garage and roll around the park with it on some old trucks and fresh wheels. Still too small for me, but a fun shape - very nimble and maneuverable after the tanks I’ve been riding. If you (or anyone) are in Orange County and interested it’s yours.

slightly downsized. to hopefully get more consistend crooks compared the the massive magic carpet i normally ride. so far it felt better. actually wanted to get a 9.4 egg but it wasnt for sale anywhere in my country anymore. but i'm liking the symmetrical so far.
had the 10" non symmetrical eggs before but allways tought the tail was small. that isnt a probelm with the symmetrical shape. dont really car for the ride both ways idea, as my front truck is a lot looser than the back.

the rails are made from recycled plastic, i like that these are really short (13.2"), as i allways wheelbite on my rails even when i cut them down. whenever i ride shorter wheelbases normally i wouln't even put rails on for that reason.

Heroin Bailgun gary 9.75
Indy standart 169's
spitfire OG classic 50mm (worn down to 48mm)
Wentelwave Rails.
1/8th risers.

slightly downsized. to hopefully get more consistend crooks compared the the massive magic carpet i normally ride. so far it felt better. actually wanted to get a 9.4 egg but it wasnt for sale anywhere in my country anymore. but i'm liking the symmetrical so far.
had the 10" non symmetrical eggs before but allways tought the tail was small. that isnt a probelm with the symmetrical shape. dont really car for the ride both ways idea, as my front truck is a lot looser than the back.

the rails are made from recycled plastic, i like that these are really short (13.2"), as i allways wheelbite on my rails even when i cut them down. whenever i ride shorter wheelbases normally i wouln't even put rails on for that reason.

i'd disagree. but thanks anyway. i set it up at the shop so i rused it a bit more than usual.
this is a mental thing i guess but horizontal lines in the middle make the board look wider and then i feel more secure on it.

Yeah, I think you’re right on the money.  I’ve ridden both 9.25 and 9” symmetrical heroin eggs on ace Af1 60’s. I bet a 9.125 would be perfect for 8.75 trucks.

I prefer 8.5 trucks with 8.8 - 9.125 eggs. I tried 8.75 for a while and was harder for me to flip my board.

i measured mine from heroin and its like 9.3 where the axle sits.
i'd say Indy 169, ace 66 classics or AF1 77. depending on your preferences.

Here's the impact stripe, kennedy and big egg side by side.  The kennedy has a pointier nose and slightly fatter tail, big egg is more symmetrical football, and the impact stripe is more like the kennedy but just feels overall bigger.

That Kennedy shape is nutz! Looking to set up a cruiser and I got to track down that board.

Crail always has Phawts on sale. You can get one for $42 right now. Also, it is essentially the same shape at the Antihoer Huffer with differentiations concave and nose/ tail steepness.

Anyone know of some good smaller egg shapes out there (like 8.0” or 8.25” over the trucks)?  I’ve skated the Cromer egg and the Shimizu egg.  I like both, but the wheelbases are bigger than I prefer.

Definitely not wack. I've seen Swampy and some of the SNOT dudes running big old wheels on their eggs. Looks great. Probably feels great.

yes. they look terrible with big wheels.

kidding of course. there are no rules. mixing and matching product from different eras can be fun. like riding an 80s 10" deck with 52mm wheels, why not? it can open up new possibilities.

8.4 = what? ~8.25 over the trucks? 8" taper/nose?  Tiny.

Those kicks look long/skinny/pointy and gross.

Looks slightly over 8.0” over the trucks, but you could probably get away with 8.0” or 8.25” trucks.  The kicks remind me of the Cromer egg looking down at it.

i have it. it would definitely magic carpet. I was running it with Ace 60s and it was pretty even, not really hot rodding. board sits on its side perfectly. but I am getting 149s instead.
