egg/football decks are for people who cant fully commit to a popsicle or shaped deck
I think eggs are the only shape besides popsicles that make practical sense, because they’re nice if you just want more room for your front foot. Shaped decks are just for show.
I used to think the same, but this video changed my mind:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-_ZJo0mn4sI definitely understand why people ride them now. So much of skateboarding is mental, and if it puts you into the mentality to skate the way you want to skate, then more power to you! Fun is subjective, and who are we to say what is and isn't fun to skate, right?
They're not for me, but that video gave me a lot more respect and understanding to people who do ride them. I think its kinda cool that there are still people riding them.
Also, any arguments we could make against shaped boards can also be made against any non twin tail deck if you think about it...
