Heroin Skateboards has run on pure DIY attitude since Mark "Fos" Foster launched the brand out of a UK hospital bed in 1998, building a hand-scratched art style so uncompromising that CCS wouldn't stock the brand for over a decade. The Tall Boy is an offshoot of Heroin's game-changing Egg platform (introduced 2016), stretched into a longer, steeper deck for riders who want an old-school feel without a symmetrical twin-tail. This one comes in the Merged graphic, another entry in Fos's tradition of mashing horror and pop culture into something unmistakably Heroin. Built on a 15/15.5" wheelbase for stability at speed, it's shaped for the kind of physical, confident skating the brand's videos — from 1999's "Good Shit" to 2006's "Magic Sticky Hand" — have always celebrated.
