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?

Best looking one I saw in hand were two 
reissues, smile and Chiquita. Should have bought. It was on some prime shit I think. Would have been dope for a few days tho.

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.

while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Sorry for flooding this thread but now I'm done with this board.

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.





Heroin Golden Egg 9.125"x32" with 14.5" WB
Ace 66
Spitfire 58mm 99a Classics
1/4" risers
MOB
Bones Swiss

I skated it for like an hour and I'm thinking about removing the risers or putting 1/8" risers on, and switching to my F4 54mm tablets

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
