This seems like it could be a slightly smaller version of the Baker Impact Stripe deck re-posted a couple pages back...

Looks perfect

Looks great but I thought Jameel and Jesse got on magenta after northern co went under? Why a guest board.

For any UK people who were after Heroin eggs or big boards, I saw that Ripride Skateshop has just put some up:

I had the Mutant Egg ordered, and after waiting for 4 months, apparently it was never shipped.

Very gutted as I wanted to try it.

Haha, that was insane. Refreshed until stock went up, checked out two, completed Paypal. Came back with an error message ("redirect customer to Paypal"), then it was out of stock.

Yeah!

How are some of those comments too: Can I buy 30?

As per post: 9.25” Blunt Egg with 14.75” wheelbase

A good alternative to the AH Huffer shape Cardiel deck too, if people wanted those and couldn't get any.

What are egg boards good for

animalflesh · « **Reply #1004 on:** September 03, 2021, 06:57:49 AM »

A lot of stuff

The board has more real estate in the middle to make setup more comfortable

Tapered kicks makes flicking easier

Tapered kicks makes crooked grinds and slappies easier

Wide center makes the board tip easier so better for flip tricks and more centered on shuv tricks

Wide center also makes good leverage for slappies

what size egg shape should i get for thunder 147s? im guessing its hard to find out the actual width of the deck where the wheels are online

Frank and Fred · « **Reply #1006 on:** September 07, 2021, 03:38:00 PM »

Eggs tend to taper at least .25" to .5" from the wide point to the trucks, so I'd say get an 8.25 to 8.5" egg for your 147s...

But honestly, I recommend going bigger and getting some 149s for a better egg experience.

listentoaheartbeat · « **Reply #1007 on:** September 10, 2021, 02:42:07 AM »

This is the board I didn't need, my fourth one in fact, and it's where I will stop with the setup madness (hopefully). But hell, I cannot wait to skate this thing. I remember I was still riding a late 80s board as a kid when big pants and small wheels started popping up in magazines, and I thought it looked magical. I don't recall ever riding an egg back then, even though I had 40 mm wheels at some point. Was thinking about getting the "really" sml. wheels but love F4 too much.

that setup looks so much fun. i'm jealous.
thought about trying the 48mm Spits too but i don't think i can run those on the crusty streets here.

Where did you find 48mm Classics?

They're F4s. These particular ones are branded as "lil smokies" with the minimal graphics. You can also get the 48mm bigheads which are the classic spitfire urethane just in a slightly wider shape.

My skate shop has that primitive egg. 9.12 And while I know I won’t get the full use out of it. I still really want it. What should I do?

Get like 2 or 3 of them and become an egghead..

Went for a lunch break session yesterday. So much fun indeed though you really need to watch out for cracks. I wouldn’t want to push long distances on this but could do Slides and Shove-Its all day.

Set it up for low impact flat and curb sessions, and it’s perfect for that. Really nice shape with a medium to deep concave. Wood feels good, too. I wish the WB was shorter, might drill some extra holes.

Yeah, they are the Lil’ Smokies that some shops carry at a lower price than other F4 wheels. The 48mm ones are also available as Tablets.

I bought an uncut blank and made my own. It was very satisfying shaping a board myself. It is a lot of work though, especially when you do not have the right tools.

Picked up a Heroin symmetrical egg a while back, finally set it up and I'm not going back. Had the Gerwer Grimple egg a while ago and loved it but symmetrical boards are now all I wanna skate.

Measured this one out of curiosity. 8.75 at both trucks. 6.75 tail, 7.0 nose, 14.5 WB. Kind of shaped like Cardiel/Phawt
