I love Heroin and Polars shaped decks (both generator). I think footballs/egg shapes are a good intro to shaped decks as they handle like popsicles but get you used to looking down at something different than a popsicle.
I’m riding 169’s on a 10’ Heroin egg shape, which I love, but that might be a bit much if you aren’t used to it.
I have definitely read that Heroin was apart of Baker Boys before, but this weekend as I was looking around, I didn’t connect the dots until last night. Baker is rad.
Ended up grabbing the 10” Gold Egg and the Street Baller 9.625”. Street Baller says razortop construction, hope I get along with that. Wanted to try a short board with long wheelbase. Gonna put Indy 169s on them. What size wheels should I grab, was thinking 54mm? Bigger than I’m used to, but not too big, and no risers needed with 55mm Indys.
I was ready to buy a 9.125 egg, but read posts saying 8.75 trucks are ideal for that shape. Not buying anymore skate gear for a month or two now, after these wheels. I read the post from Fos, about a 9.4 Space Egg and 8.7 egg coming this fall/winter, will wait for one of those as they work with my current trucks better.
Got a lot of info from this thread and the egg shaped thread, thanks to all.
