Ok thanks. Would have to upgrade my truck size to 144's I think.

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

I was tempted, but too small/short for me. The 9.125 egg is already small enough.

that makes me wonder, other than the very big egg and the cardiel football, what eggs work well with 169's?

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.

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

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.

A lot of people ride 8.75 trucks on the Villani egg, including Villani himself.

Get an egg!

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

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.

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".

$60 too but no grip. I feel like I’ve seen it more expensive or maybe just heroin boards in general are pricier

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.

I almost got that before stocking up on brown bombers...but the length put me off....seems really short and potentially steep?

Whats an egg shape that isn't too pointy and doesnt have kicks that are super short, around a 14.25 wb ish. The real kelch 8.75 is pretty good but hard to find and the kicks are a tad shorter than I'd like.

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.

Grabbed one of these Visit eggs the other day when Gallant posted them. Came in last night. Not too shabby. 8.75 at widest, 8.25 at nose holes and 8.5 at tail holes. Those also could be swapped, I was kinda faded when I was measuring.

I already wanted it, but now I need it. Guess another board wouldn’t hurt
