It feels odd calling a 9″ deck a “mini”, but Heroin’s Mini Eyeballer is exactly that – a wild shape with a more manageable length, perfect for younger skaters or people who just want something that bit more manoeuvrable.
In short, if you wanted a shaped deck with a flared tail that also spins faster, moves quicker and feels lighter, this is probably what you’ve been waiting for.
This deck uses Heroin’s “Razortop” construction; rather than the top edge of the deck being rounded off like most decks, it’s left cut at a sharp angle to increase board feel and grip to your feet.
Check the description below for details on the width of the deck at the truck holes so you can figure out how best to set up this shaped deck.

Choosing trucks for a shaped deck isn’t as simple as with a “normal” straight-sided popsicle. The widest point of the Mini Eyeballer is 9″, but it narrows to 8.25″ at the front truck and an amazingly svelte 7.5″ at the back truck.
With this sort of deck, you can run a 9″ truck like the Ace AF1 66s, supporting the full width of the deck and giving you the maximum grinding room and accepting the exposed wheels; you can match the axle length to the deck’s width at the front truck with something like the Film 5.5″, or you can split the difference with something that lands in the middle like the slightly larger 8.75″ axle of the Film 6.0. There’s not really a wrong answer here; normally we like to keep things tight at the front, but with a shape like this, we’d probably go for Film’s 6.0 trucks instead.
