Literally just made an account to comment on this thread, which seems to come up on every Google search for anything related to egg boards!
Looking for some advice. I can’t really try out an egg board but want to get one and give it a go but not sure what size to get and then similarly what size trucks to get.
I skated as a kid and now back on the board in my 30s. Bought a fairly cheap 8.25” popsicle complete and been having fun for a couple of months doing 50-50s, boardslides (intermittently!), rock to fakies, etc. so almost back to where I was as a kid. However, my feet have grown since then and with size 12UK/13US, my deck doesn’t seem big enough.
Been looking at the Heroin 8.9” boards, which I believe tapers to 8.5” over the trucks? So I could match with some 149mm indys or something similarly sized? I like the sound of this setup because it’s not a massive jump from my current deck up to the 9.0+” eggs out there.
Has anyone dipped their toes in with eggs boards like this but then wished they’d gone bigger? Or conversely, gone the other way and back to popsicles?
My hope is that I can settle on a setup that keeps the same trucks, as decks come and go (snap) but trucks last longer. With that thought, I’m maybe thinking about getting 159mm/151 trucks so if I want to go bigger later on, I could.
Anyone, I’m waffling. I should probably just buy one and skate it myself but thought I’d ask the egg hive mind first!
