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!
