Fun, fun, fun! The ripping folks at Heroin Skateboards and Tactics recently teamed up for a limited-run of gear that—in my humble opinion—perfectly captures the gritty, offbeat energy of the Pacific Northwest.
Bold, big, bizarre, and undeniably eye-catching, this series brings Heroin’s random charm to life with a proper regional twist that fans of both brands will be absolutely up about.

Whether you see the “Eggzilla” and “Cryptegg” planks as novelty items or not is hardly the point—anyone who knows the Heroin crew knows these boards were definitely made to skate. That said… they’re the ultimate collector’s items and wall-hangers all the same. (Whether you live in the PNW or not.)

With classic Fos art that seamlessly blends absurdity and radness, and shapes that stand out from the standard popsicle, this drop is exactly what you’d expect from a Heroin.
It’s only fair to tell you that some of the planks have already sold out online, as the caption mentions (no surprise), but you can still cop a few at select Tactics shops if you move quick. Shoot, I would if I were you!

There’s no shortage of rad (and debatable) collaborations in skateboarding, but some simply make more sense than others. This is one of them. I’ve never skated one of those giant egg shapes personally, but they definitely look like a good time.
And all the apparel and accessories are rad, too! The colors, the graphics—good stuff all around. Want to learn more about the mind behind Heroin Skateboards? Tap that post above for a rad video with founder (and all-around epic human), Mark “Fos” Foster.
