I'm back on my Big Egg. Forgot how much fun this board was. Glad I hung on to it

I’d be super interested in hearing your thoughts on it

Thinking about getting big egg or bigger egg. Would it be crazy to put 169s on the bigger? I don’t wanna get new trucks... but could be worth it

169s would probably be fine on a bigger egg but a bit large for a big egg

i have a 139 on the front of my egg and a 149 on the back but its only this way cuz a shop accidentally gave me 2 different size trucks as a pair and im an opportunist so didn't return them

Nahhhhh That would bug me so much. I remember my friend bought a set of trucks and they sent him one hi and one low. He never noticed but I saw that his board was always rocked lol

I had that Zero Boserio 'photo' board which was the 8.625 egg shape. Loved it, glad it's back, but for the past 8 months or so I've sized up to Ace 55s, not sure if I can go back down.

Quasi has a 9” one. Limited and numbered. Like 1k presses. Jake Johnson board.

I personally wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t run Indies on something with that small of a WB. I’d probably run Venture 6.1a for that old school feel or else I’d run Thunder 151s.

I love running trucks that are .125-.25 larger than the board if the kicks are wide/squared but I hate it with footballs/pointy kicks unless it’s a cruiser.

It’s preference though so who knows you might like it.

Anyone ever skated a Krooked football? 8.37 x 31.7 x 14.12wb. Shape seems almost identical to the Deedz Enjoi one (never had one though). What trucks would you run on this? Only have 8.5 trucks, Venture Indy and Thunder.

Been sizing down very slowly and figure it might be a fun quiver

satan · « **Reply #44 on:** January 02, 2020, 05:27:35 PM »

I'm guessing 8" trucks cuz crazy tapered. I've got a Zagger shape and 8" seems to fit flush but I never checked my 144's.

munchbox · « **Reply #45 on:** March 09, 2020, 10:04:27 PM »

really hyped on the look of the polar football. the amount of taper near the trucks looks really good for flip tricks and potential techy stuff. are my assumptions true for tapered football shapes? i had an antihero cardiel but i wouldnt consider it a football at all in hindsight

I finished skating mine recently and it seemed like it’d be good for lots of flip tricks! I mostly skated curbs and transition with it, trying kickflips here and there. I’d recommend it for sure, especially if you want more room but a still functional board

Love how that shape looks but I also think that tail looks tiny and would not work well with my big feet.

8.5 trucks would work perfect for that.

Skated mine as a normal board with Indy 149s and 53 spits . Deck and wheels were pretty flush

Now it’s my cruiser with thunder 149s and 55clouds and the wheels stick out a little.
Overall, loved this shape and might pick up another soon

Yeah I’m a 10.5. Took a bit of adjusting but I was skating 8.5s before it so it wasn’t too bad of a transition.
