What is your favourite shaped board at the moment?

[@dadboard]

Riding this 90’s shape that’s kinda egg adjacent. It’s 8.75 in the middle, 8.5 over the top trucks & 8.25 over the back. Absolutely love it. I didn’t like the last heroin egg I tried but I think it was due to riding a 14” wheelbase and AF1 trucks which shrunk the WB even further.

[@XxEnterTheKrakenxX]

​@@dadboardI'm hoping to see u give it another shot with the thunders. I have the same egg board and I'm gonna run it with thunder 149s

[@LeonPaxton]

Oh true, I did see your video about that deck pop up. I'll have to check it out asap! Yeah that could be a possibility. Most of the eggs I'm riding are about 14.25" wheel base and I'm on Indy's now so it's definitely short but I have gotten used to it and it works really well with the bigger boards I've been riding lately 👌🏼 @@dadboard

[@LeonPaxton]

I second that 🙌🏼 @@XxEnterTheKrakenxX

[@westonvirginia6458]

I want that board, but right now I'm riding a Blood Wizard gauntlet shape that's a lot of fun for transition.

[@stoneybolognarly9376]

Props on the truck size explanation.

[@Panda_trax]

Great content! You also answered a lot of the questions I had on the egg shape deck, and truck sizes. Thank you!

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks dude, glad I could help!

[@Mardinovic]

i like doing this combo. tilting and rotating into it instead of tilting and poking/lifting will definitely make it easier.

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah dude, it’s such a sick trick! I definitely need to practice it more and get smoother with it lol

[@gumbi8989]

Heroin graphics kinda reminds me of World industries decks, with having the Egg mascot in different themed graphics; like Industries did with Wet Willie & Flame Boy. I love it.

[@LeonPaxton]

Yo I never noticed that but can definitely see it now!

[@ashjamben]

Another great video Leon, thanks for all the egg info! I’ve recently returned to skating in my mid 30s after skating as a teenager. Got a cheap 8.25” complete but just recently upgraded to a 9.1” egg/lozenge (from Death Skateboards, a UK brand, not sure if they’re available in Oz?) with Indy 159s after watching your vids!

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks a lot man 🙏🏼 Sick, welcome back man! I've definitely heard of them but I haven't seen them around for a while 🤔

[@SkinnySkates]

I skate the Thunder Hollow Lights 8.75" axle with 52mm Powell Nano Cubics on my Razor Egg. Perfect fit. Wheels stick out past the axle tip by like 0.125" - 0.25" so it comes out perfectly. I feel in love so hard and so fast that I bought a second Razor Egg 2 days after the first just to make sure I'd have another the moment this one is wrecked. 😂🎉

[@LeonPaxton]

Oh dude, the Razor Egg shape is the best! I usually try and buy a few of them at the same time too whenever they drop 😂

[@duriduri9042]

Haven't tried these boards yet, but they do look pretty I can not lie.

[@LeonPaxton]

They are so fun dude, it's so hard to go back to popsicles lol

[@YouFit100]

Do love this setup, riding it with aces

[@LeonPaxton]

Sick! I've got some Aces ready to go, I just need a free day to set the, up 😪

[@YouFit100]

@@LeonPaxton nice, yeah I don't think you'll be disappointed bud!

[@boardhousefilms2284]

I also put landyatch longboard trucks on the egg 10.75 and that was a good cruiser for going 20 mph or faster down hill skating

[@LeonPaxton]

Damn dude, that sounds sick!

[@ichista]

Really thinking to try one of these currently ridding re issued shortys decks the shape reminds me of the good old days hahahaa

[@LeonPaxton]

Hell yeah you should try it 🙌🏼

[@ichista]

@@LeonPaxton waiting for fast times to get some more muska decks so I can ride them 🤣

[@61936]

I would say for basically all shaped boards above or around 9 inch just use 8.75 or 9.0 trucks

[@LeonPaxton]

Definitely around the 9" mark but up in the 10" board range you'll definitely need bigger trucks lol

[@joelrobertandersen]

What wheel size does anyone recommend for these. I was given this same board. I put indy 169 on it and 52mm wheels. I have not rode it yet as im recovering from foot injuries. Im coming from riding transitions and vert style with loose trucks. I assume i need to tighten my trucks? I have a bunch of bigger wheels in the 58, 60 and 64 but didnt know if 52mm is too small? I will use it to practice more park stuff. I assume people don’t use these for bowls?

[@LeonPaxton]

I always ride 54mm wheels dude 👌🏼 You can still ride the 52mm wheels, they won't be too small but you just won't be able to ride on rough surfaces since it is a smaller wheel and will be more rough. Nah bowl skating is better done with a bigger or wider wheel so you have lots of grip and keep your speed

[@boardhousefilms2284]

I have the 10.75 board and 10 inch ace 80 trucks and it feels great I just gotta test the grinds tho but I love the egg boards have had many skateboards over the years and the heroin egg board especially the 10.75 one is my favorite board ever It feels like it’s a wakeskate sized board under you , any tips for the best bushing for ace trucks ?

[@LeonPaxton]

That's sick man! I actually got that board recently too and have a video coming out on it this week 🙌🏼 I'm not too sure about Ace trucks yet since I haven't ridden any yet but I have a fresh pair of Ace AF1 hollows ready to go soon so I'll let you know what I find and what recommendations I have after riding them 👌🏼

[@octo2228]

Love the vids keep what ur doing I also have 2 questions 1. What shoe size are you? 2. How long have you been skating?

[@LeonPaxton]

Thanks dude, appreciate that heaps! I'm a US11 and I've been skating for 18years! 👴🏼

[@bagis9066]

i'm on my 4th Krooked Cromer 8.25 egg in a row. With thunder 147 and 48mm f4 spits tablets. My favorite setup. My 9.5 Heroin is just collecting dust atm :D

[@LeonPaxton]

That set up sounds sick man! Yeah the 9.5" would feel huge compared to the 8.25" right?

[@bagis9066]

@@LeonPaxton Yep 9.5 feels like a boat :D. Still like it though.

[@oniongummy8969]

48mm!? Bearing condoms?

[@vincemallow9019]

This sounds right up my alley. Do you know the width over the bolts?

[@villavins8r69]

I liked the shape! A bit too big for my liking tho, a size 9 would’ve been perfect for my preference! And idk if mine was defective but it snapped in a week, and I wasn’t skating hard :( snapped doing a front shuv out of a lil kicker… ill try again in the future tho!

[@LeonPaxton]

Aww damn, that sucks man! Sometimes you just hit your weight in the sweet spot and the board is done lol

[@neck919]

Could've been slightly warped. They need to throw those boards out.

[@justas7021]

would a set of 149s be fine opn the swampy egg board, ik that its 8.88 over trucks but i really cant get a new set of trucks

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah dude, they would be fine! They will just slightly sit in on each side of the board but that won't be a problem at all 👌🏼

[@westonvirginia6458]

I want the one with wheel wells

[@LeonPaxton]

Yeah I prefer that one too!

[@janitorpants1]

Wow😍

[@JarrodRodosTaylor]

I’ve ridden this board with ACE 60 and 55 classics both feel great, definitely for my old ass flipping it is easier with the 60’s which are 8:75.

[@LeonPaxton]

That's sick man! I'm about to set up some AF1 66's soon and I'm so keen!

[@JarrodRodosTaylor]

@@LeonPaxtonYou will love them 👌Word of warning once you ride ACE you won’t be able to ride another truck brand ever again, they are that good in my opinion.

[@LeonPaxton]

Damn, That's a big call to make! lol I've been riding Indy's lately though so they should be similar I think 🤔@@JarrodRodosTaylor

[@MikkoHenrikki]

9.0 egg board with 159 indys. Never tried yet Heroin board. If there will be available in my local skateshop 9.0 size Heroin deck I will give a try. We have this 9.5 Heroin deck available, but sounds quite a size up from 9.0 -> 9.5.😅

[@LeonPaxton]

What brand is the 9" egg that you've got? Yeah half an inch bigger might be a bit too much in one go lol

[@MikkoHenrikki]

@@LeonPaxton ”Happy Hour skateboards.” Local skateboard company from Finland. Quite recently they released first shaped boards. Got their 9.0 football shape. 😃

[@LeonPaxton]

Oh sick, their boards sound fun!

[@cooperl3194]

looking for an egg board in my area n came across this one. 9.5. my foot size is 8.5 us. im currently riding a 8.25 but want a lot bigger. do y’all think it’s dumb decision as i have small feet?

[@LeonPaxton]

Nah dude, that's sick! It will obviously be way heavier than your other board but you'll be way more stable and in control having a wider board to stand on 👌🏼

[@shittoi_bean1055]

Yo can you skate a 8.88 egg heroin? only cause i just bought it and i wanna see ur thoughts abt them lol

[@LeonPaxton]

I could try but that size is way too small for me lol

[@shittoi_bean1055]

@@LeonPaxton same thoughts for me lol, but my local shop hasnt restock any heroin egg for 7 months lollll, its the only egg they have and honestly surprised it feels like my 9.125 primitive egg

Dude I really like the Franky 9.125" Primitive egg so I could actually end up liking the 8.8" egg 🤔@@shittoi_bean1055

what size trucks & wheels are on your board in this video?

[@LeonPaxton]

These are 169 Indy Forged Hollows (9.125") and 54mm Spitfire Radials 👌🏼

[@gumbi8989]

@@LeonPaxton What bearings would you recommend for someone getting back into skating at the park? I want something that's gonna be forgiving when landing. I don't want the board to kick out from under me when I land cause the bearings are all juiced up; or pushing 7 times just to roll up to the rail like a slug. I'm looking for that middle ground. thanks for getting back to me.

[@LeonPaxton]

I usually just recommend Bones Reds dude, they are such a good quality bearing for only $35aud 👌🏼

[@sasaprodanic3785]

169 Indy or 161 Tunder,but i saw 10" thunders last year.

[@LeonPaxton]

161 means different sizes in Indy compared to Thunder though so it can get so confusing choosing trucks sizes lol

[@Suicidal_Ideations]

@@LeonPaxtonif you ever try the 161 thunders they are a mm taller than the 148/149/151 thunder. 53mm is like the perfect height. Not to high not to low.

[@Anonymous-kr3cj]

It looks like a lot of fun. The only reason i stay away from them is the price factor $160 AUD is just to much. Could get 2 popsicles for the same price lol just being honest. Still really appreciate your videos tho 👍

Thanks dude! Wait where are you getting boards for $80 each!?

@@LeonPaxton I usually just go through boardworld or kingpin they usually have the best sales But sell out super quick

[@RIPTurhaAKACryptidHunter]

I have my Ace trucks in my Antihero popcicle deck and both are 9" so those Ace's would fit perfectly. I'm really thinking about buying that razoregg with wheel wells but God damn that cost 99.95€ in Finland... 😢 This is expensive hobby and I haven't skated so much in couple years and prices are trough the roof. Well everything cost more now days but holy shit, these decks are going high as me when I'm smoking some high THC indica 😂

[@LeonPaxton]

I love that deck! Good setup 👌🏽 Oh dude, I’ve spent way too much money on all these set ups 😂

[@Spurgte]

independent trucks turn so sluggish thunder has more responsive/faster turns but are less durable than indys ace af1's are the perfect medium imo

[@LeonPaxton]

I've got some new Ace AF1 Hollows now but I'm just waiting for a free day to set them up and make a video about them. I'm so keen though!
