Egg Shaped Boards

For comparison's sake, huffer, chico, loveseat

The holy trinity of eggs

For comparison's sake, huffer, chico, loveseat

Somebody gnar this dude a second time for me.

Huffer is clearly the best shape, I’m gobsmacked by the top graphic on the eagle huffer.

[Woodshop]

I can really see the wheelbase difference there too.

Definitely a longer wheelbase person myself, but all three look amazing right there.

huffer shape is perfection

It is a guaranteed good time. Something about it just works.

Have to agree on the huffer shape but have any of you skated a IV stamped one?
I've had one for a couple years and skate it occasionally but it's just too flat for me.
Also the last rider I've ever ordered online.

For me, that girl board is perfect. I want a million of them.

Kinda reminds me of a meme I saw about different penis shapes that start out fat then go skinny/pointy at the end. That Chico is one pointy penis. I’d ride it.

Looking at all 3 like that love seat works for me

I like how psyched alot of you are on the Huffer shape

 

Thx for that photo .

Flatter the better. I've had  couple of IVs and they are ideal.

I have a loveseat setup on 5.8 v hollows right now and it is an amazingly fun board. I also have a huffer shape on deck ready to be setup. Not sure exactly what to do with it because of its long wb. Probably will through my ace 55 classics on it with some cardiel 55mm spitfire tablets.

I always try to get a IV or at least a III in any DLX boards I have access to, more so than I or II but that is just me.

Others jump on my boards and some people love them, but some hate how mellow the concave is on them, but it is perfect for me.

The funny thing is I know a few people that are so conditioned to ride steeper boards, especially Dwindle and similar concave and kicks, with all those readily available bigger reissues coming out in the last few years, but they actually feel painful for me to skate more than just a single run here or there.

Everyone is different and it is just about finding what works and is comfortable for you.


If the board is too mellow (and you don't want to get rid of it), some people put on extra grippy coarse grip tape to combat that, which has worked for those people. 

I am sure any number of people on here would happily buy a Huffer in almost any reasonable condition too, if you did want to get rid of it.


Just an option or two though.

[Frank and Fred]

Huffer, Huffer, Huffer.

[Ok]

Huffer, Huffer, Huffer.

Between this and Schmitt’s gay, I’m hyped

Oof that Villani tho.....

Wow, how long will it take you to chomp that omelette?

That's probably about a year's supply. I'll go through a deck in 2-6 weeks, depending on what/where I'm skating. By black Friday this stack will be dwindled down to an actually reasonable amount. Then the floodgate hoarding will begin again until I'm eventually ashamed of the next stockpile I've accrued. I've got it down to a system...

I rode the same Villani a long time ago after loving the 9.125 Heroin Razor Egg, but I remember that it didn't quite feel the same. I read that Primitive used the same mold as Heroin but for some reason I often got ghost pop on it. Is there any difference dimension-wise between the Heroin and Primitive eggs, or was it just my brain screwing with me?

It's not really the concave but more the angle of the nose and tail. Used to have it set up with 159s and it got a bit better once I put some risers on.  Now there's some Films(risers again) on it and must say it skates better than with the Indys. It's a fun deck to skate once in a while but not something I'd skate as my main set up.

Your spidey senses weren’t wrong. That franky graphic was a one off run out of China. It had a slightly different shape with a little shorter kicks. It's closer in shape to the pilz egg that dwindle has been putting out recently. The bbs villani eggs are pretty much spot on with the herion eggs, though.

i almost bought one of those symmetrical razor eggs last weekend. soo tempting. but i got quite a stack of decks myself too and i dont burn through boards as fast as you do so i shoulnt buy any more. but its such a nice deck!
i dont snap boards and ride 2 difrent setups. each generally last me atleast 5 months and then i still feel like i switch them prematurely.
do plan on getting the Curbkiller 2 when it arrives at my local. but still havnt even gotten around to riding the first Curb Killer

Which (very era-authentic looking) trucks are those?

Ahh see, that explains a lot. I don't remember the wood being bad but the shape just wouldn't click with me. It put me off of wider decks for quite a while until I won a Curb Killer and my love for wider eggs got rekindled.

I don't wanna say, scared I'll get burnt.....
Mini logo thought I'd try them out, I'll probably change out to my 6.1 ventures. I think the trucks make SWB deck extra squirrely.

mini logos shorten the wb
6.1s should fix the squirrellyness
forged plates are even better if you have em

No need to worry, people know they're decent. Seeing them mounted on an egg with small wheels makes them look really cool.

[intendedreceivers]

Has anyone tried this 8.38 Gerwer Backpage egg? 8.25 in. trucks I’m guessing? What do you think of it?



Trying to find an egg on the smaller side and this one caught my eye.
