Seriously. I’m on the 9.5 Razor Egg and love it. Might sell off some popsicles in my stack to fund that Space Egg and Dressen Egg.
yeah! You still liking it with the 66 classics on it?

It’s great. It’s a heavy beast though. Which kind of makes it a great curb board.

The live isn't up, can we get a quick run down?
Looks like another mutant(hoping for a good graphic I need a new one), like a 9.5 egg, and something

Was feeling a bit bored of my regular popsicle. Looking forward to trying this. Wanted to cop 161s but the 151s seem to fit well enough. Not sure how I’ll go with the symmetrical given trucks are quite broken in.

9.5 Heroin egg
151 thunders
56mm f4 S.L.A.G classic swirls
Blurs ceramics

thanks I missed that

Same here. Thanks

Anyone know the wheelbase of the Pink Mutant?

Love the DD shape mut sometimes I feel I could have a slightly longer WB (15") and toned down width. I have "only" size US 9 shoe, 9.5" deck would still be plenty enough. Pink Mutant looks pretty good...or maybe that Streetballer shape? (15" WB if I remember right?)  edit: both of those shapes would still go nice with Ace AF-77s, which I really like

Hey, so I tried to repost that “Live” from the other day and it crashed sadly. I’ve picked up all the new boards from Baker Boys now, so I’m measuring em now and I’ll post soon. The pink mutant is 9.5 wide and double drilled so you can have a 14” or a 14.625” WB. The Dead Dave actually came back on a 9.75 mutant this time. Dressen’s egg is 9.75 symmetrical. Space Egg 2 is our 9.4 non symmetrical award winning egg shape.
Official release date for our catalog is July 13th. Baker Boys are starting to ship out to stores from tomorrow though, so I imagine they will be popping up early next week.

Wait, the Mutant is smaller this time? The 10.1 Mutant is my favorite shape I've skated so far, you guys changing the specs on it?

Nah, that's the pink version. I mean the Dead Dave Mutant, Fos said it measured out at 9.75 this drop so that'd mean that the shape is different this time.

'Twas a glitch, Dead Dave will be back to 10.1 next catalog. Also, all the previous Dead Dave models for the past couple of years are that 10.1 shape.
WB on the Dressen is 14.25.

Good to hear! I was contemplating panic buying them but in that case I guess I just have to wait 1 drop.

been contemplating this shape with 6.1s and radial fulls
looks like things will fit perfectly

Yep 8.75 trucks and wider wheels should be perfect, especially if you prefer a touch of magic carpet.

Thanks man, looks nice and eggy after all.
Those boards look sick. I wonder if I can skate them short wheelbases.

I put together a cruiser board for my better half:
Polar 9" Surf sr shape if I recall correctly.
Socket griptape and hardware
Ace classics 55
Pig risers
Nomad ABEC 5
Nomad 85a 55mm
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

according to polars website, two bigger shapes changed:

1992
9.2" (Widest Point) X 32"
Nose: 6.85"
Wheel Base: 14.3"
Tail: 6.65"

DANE 1
9.75” (Widest Point) X 31.3”
Nose: 6.4”
Wheel Base: 14.375”
Tail: 6.5”

used to be 14.25 and 14.125wb respectively

I’m curious to know why it was decided that the Dane1 needed .25 more WB
