new WKND egg-ish shape.  Parade is low on details and only lists the width at 8.875.  Looks like it has a pretty severe taper towards the tail (or could just be the photo angle), which seems like that would be a nightmare trying to figure out which size trucks would be best.

That Coda shape looks nice, but what a terrible graphic.

I tried looking thru this thread, but didn't see it-

Anyone with the Heroin Soft Boiled 8.7, can you please tell me the wheelbase?

It's listed as 14.5 on a couple retailers, but that seems long.

Just picked the soft boiled up, 14.5 is pretty accurate



Also wanted to make it as egg-y as possible

imperfects - symmetrical/twin tail
8.75 x 31.75 - 14.5 WB - 8.25 wide at axles. 6.75 tail/nose
found a use for the indy 144 mids
spitfire 80 chargers (down to about 50mm) bones super reds
rolled around in front of the house, low and stable
only thing not stock are the bushings, threw in krux 92a barrels. felt a bit stiff, not sure if was the fact it's sub 30 degrees out. may put the stock indy 90a back in.
this board will be a curb/manny pad/cruiser

Looks sick, what do you think? How much does it taper to around the bolts, and then how wide is it halfway between the bolts and the tip of the nose/tail? Also any idea what woodshop they use?

thanks! it's 8.25 wide at axles. lined up the bolt holes with the tail end of an antihero eagle 8.06. same taper/shape.
website says 'All of our skates are pressed and designed right here in San Diego by the most legendary skate factory in the world.' assuming that's Watson.

Good to know, still a bit expensive with shipping and tax but that sounds pretty ideal. Maybe if they go more on sale. Thanks!

New egg looks dope, wish there was a new egg to pair with 169s. I shoulda grabbed a 9.4 while I had the chance.

yeah 9.4” egg is what I’m really curious to try too. Even the 9.125” egg is hard to find now, which id pair with some 8.75” trucks

Finally got a long session in on my Deedz w/ Ti 144s & 48>46mm Spits, and it was great.

My meager flip trick selection was all working well and first try (rarity for me). Stoked.

Will definitely look for this shape again if/when Enjoi makes more.

First time I tried it I had thunder 161 standard. While I like the wider grinding surface I prefer the height and turn of the 159 Indy. The 8.75 trucks made it a little more nimble and shrank the wb a bit. I like the ace trucks too but I like how the indys grind better.

We have a small run on the Very Big Eggs coming back in stock soon, they’re on order. It’s been hard keeping up with supply to be totally honest, I’d love to be able to offer every single egg size that we’d ever done, but it’s not possible at the moment.
Next catalog we have a 7.9 egg, a symmetrical 9.0 that I’m riding the sample for right now and loving it, and a wild 9.6 one that looks like it’s going to be really interesting.

Even though I haven't ridden it yet, 7.9 egg should be forever

We appreciate what we can get! I love my 8.9 Fried Egg, but I recently chipped it, so looking forward to the 9.0!
Super interested in the 7.9 Egg too... any foresight on truck widths to use?

The Eraseregg we just put out is the exact same shape as the Fried Egg. As for the 7.9, not sure, Indy 129's or 139's? Or the Little Aces or Thunders? I had lot of folks asking about a smaller Egg shape, so i went pretty small with that one, It's 7.5 above the trucks.

I keep checking this thread to find out the wheelbase on the 7.9 egg, ?

Would you be so kind to share??
