Real Skateboards Mason Silva Speed Egg Pro Deck

The egg shape provides a wider, more rounded platform compared to traditional popsicle sticks. This design offers more surface area for your feet, which translates to increased stability and a more comfortable, locked-in feel when landing tricks or cruising transition.

Not necessarily, though it depends on your preference. While a 9.25-inch deck is wider than standard street boards, many skaters find the extra width provides a more stable base for technical maneuvers and ledge skating. If you prefer a board with more 'meat' under your feet, this width is a great choice.

Because of the wider platform, you may need to adjust your flick slightly compared to a narrower board. However, the refined geometry of this deck is designed to be responsive, so once you adapt to the extra width, you will find it offers plenty of control for flip tricks.

It is a true hybrid. The stability of the 9.25-inch width makes it excellent for transition and bowl skating, but the responsive construction means it is still agile enough for street sessions. It is a versatile option if you like to skate a bit of everything.

To match the width of this deck, you should look for trucks that are around 9.0 to 9.25 inches wide. Using trucks that are too narrow can make the board feel unstable, while trucks that are too wide can interfere with your wheel clearance.
