My all time favorite skate company right here!! Best boards I've skated, always the best graphic artwork too, consistently some of the sickest skaters ever on their team for years and years, their logo/brand and style of skating, the affiliation with Girl, the whole family vibe, just everything about Chocolate Skateboards is rad as hell... Can't wait to watch this!
This is our "20 Years of Chocolate" episode. It gave us a chance to tap a lot of skaters that have never been featured on the show before, and its an honor just to ride in Chocolate's wake.
I used to ride ALL SORTS of decks throughout my skating years (skating for over 20 years), but the brand I bought the most decks from was GIRL skateboards... I experimented with LOADS of different companies first, like SHORTIES, ZERO, BAKER and BLIND, but when I got my first GIRL deck, it just seemed to fit me like a glove! Think it was a Rick Howard deck. I found the GIRL decks to be lovely and WIDE as well as LONG. They also had a perfect concave, which seemed to suit my style of flipping PERFECTLY. The GIRL decks literally made me a better skater, and by the time I was riding on their decks, I was busting inward heels and the like off pretty HIGH ledges, something I could NEVER manage on other decks... I think we ALL need to find the deck that suits our style, and for me, this was GIRL SKATEBOARDS. Respect to ALL you skaters, from Davey in Éire (Ireland)... PEACE!
Honestly when it comes to boards, i think the best way to go, if you can afford it, is to get the pro models of the skaters you respect and admire the most.
Same for me with boards from generator (zero, magenta, Baker, death wish, plan b etc). They are stiffer somehow. Crailtap decks (girl, chocolate) etc where always so low concave and soggy. Plus as they press 10 boards at one go you have never the same concave again as the boards in the middle come out differently than the others
I rode Girl for years.. I also had a few Chocolates and I really liked them too, maybe even more than Girl but they wore out a lot quicker than Girl boards for some reason..
In high school, one of the cool skaters had a Chocolate shirt, maybe Girl too. He graduated in 1996 cuz he was a grade ahead of me so it was probably 95 when i saw him with the shirt
Chocolate was such a smooth , good looking board. When i was young id skate Blind loved the designs but just felt weird Chocolate was perfect would fly home
world industries and blind were cool when you were 14, their graphics appealed to kids. Girl and Chocolate had more grown up graphics. I literally remember the point where everyone started skating girl and chocolate boards, usually when they hit like 17 or 18. I still like my toy machine decks, templton has some sick designs.
Psycho kids maybe, driller killer and accidental gun death were heeeeeavy visceral graphics. Kids might have enjoyed them for the edgy factor but artistically they were very appealing to people of my age back then, and also now as an older skater. The blind reaper, wet willy and flameboy were cookie cutter kiddo bullshit, but that marked a shift in both companies directions and also culturally. I love crailtap, their art direction was/is excellent and well rounded. I'm not being negative about them. I'm just saying that the world camp, the companies under the Rocco umbrella, were excellent at their peak moments. Changed the whole game.
Plan b, color, zero thats the shit i skated back in the day...jamie thomas. Kris markovich. Danny way. Colin mckay. Rodney mullen. Sean sheffey. My heros when i skated.
It's the first part in a series. They have to talk about the Girl and he origins of Chocolate in order to tell the whole story. The stupidity in these comment sections is amazing.
Jerry is one of my fav skaters but wtf is his wife the editor for epicly laterd or something he's on sooo many episodes hes sick and i dont mind but damn man
I'm very similar to Paulo in how he felt more natural in switch. I did martial arts from very young that taught me to lead with my left and therefore my left foot feels stronger, so I like to use my left foot to push and for popping (I would push in regular and then drop my left foot back to mongo and do all my tricks in switch as a kid. I used to incorporate my switching feet into tricks more and more though toward the mid 90's, like I'd do a 180 body varial and then do a flip trick. It just became how I skated. It fucked me up later in life though when I just wanna skate regular as pushing with my right feels weird, but also having my right on the front of the board feels weird. ha ha. I'm a fucking weird skater, man. never came across anyone with the same weird eccentricities as me.
Could vice make a video about Chocolate, the food? Don't worry you could visit some third-world hellhole and complain about the government not doing enough for the poor while ignoring it was the government involvement that was keeping people poor. Or something.
I wonder if they even know that cacao or chocolate is one the most nutritious foods on the planet and talk about sensual pleasure in taste ehh, Pure bliss and ecstasy in a bean from a jungle tree!
I rode Girl for years.. I also had a few Chocolates and I really liked them too, maybe even more than Girl but they wore out a lot quicker than Girl boards for some reason..

They need to make some of their graphics from their decks onto shirts 👍🏾
Didn't know Chocolate's team was basically 80% hispanics.
That's pretty cool.
lol
If you build a wall they will just skate it
Racial segregation is a beautiful thing
@paperchasin23 lmao someone’s mad
@@wes4192 indeed. Bring back Jim Crow laws! Chocolate is sick! 😀

The truth is that your were not getting any booty, so you got a Girl board in a last ditch effort to get laid.
chico is great. loved seeing him battle mike mo. Pretty crazy to hear how he came to America. Dude made a serious mark on skates
i feel like it's been forever since the last one of these, please keep making them.
JERRY HSU!! One of my all time favorite skaters. makes me wanna watch the Osiris vid next lol and I haven't skated in 12 years
One of the best i had his enjoi pro board with the panda fucking the blackberry on it lol
He’s not even a Pro Skater anymore
He used to skate hard asf take some nasty spills
@@slimegangavalon6155 flip tricks were way ahead of his time

I skated with Paulo when he was visiting Matt Beach in Portland for an adidas tour. His nollie pop on flat is absolutely insane.
I've been waiting for another one of these.
Spike Jonze’s voice sounds like someone old grandma’s voice 😂👵🏽
Finally!!! I've been waiting for one of these to come out!
I was witness to Paulos Nollie during the WIlshire era.
I have had a chocolate button up shirt for like 25 years and I still wear it. Made in America and still in great shape.

I rode Girl for years.. I also had a few Chocolates and I really liked them too, maybe even more than Girl but they wore out a lot quicker than Girl boards for some reason..

I used to know the origin and what T Dog meant but I can’t remember anymore
Chico say Nicaragua like an american lol

He's very good friends with Patrick O'dell
This content is above Vice.
Why is there no fucking part 2? Whole thing is ruined.

I'm a fucking weird skater, man. never came across anyone with the same weird eccentricities as me.
Kenny Anderson goes hard
Mike Carroll reminds me of an older Sean Malto!!

They have
I like your sarcasm.

Michael Tylke chill XD
Kids. If you can't skate. And are a full blown lame. You can still be part of a skate scene/industry. Just look at Sam Smyth😤🤷🤦
lol Just noticed, that one of the founders was on the Wolf of Wall Street
+Mason Kennedy look up spike jones. hes had a big career
+Mason Kennedy spike jonze is a very popular film director
Spike Jones is one of the best things to happen to skateboarding
3:40 d.r.u.g.s. lol
Lol i don't remember devine calloway looking like a lesbian.
PhattBudz LMAO bro I thought the same thing hahahah
He’s got a pretty mouth 😂
I got your fucking epicycles lathered in chocolate 🍫 for 20 yrs Right Here!
Lmao this aged so badly. Most of these people are gone from the team now.
That term "aged badly" doesn't translate to skating kid.
This is skateboard history, these guys literally pushed skateboarding to where it is today. Your comment aged badly
This aged like a fine boxed wine
That's skateboarding baby. Every empire has its rise and fall.
@@pinthetailproductions4859well said bro!!!
Did anyone see tony hawk?
I was looking for Waldo
Lol saw these guys at the park across the street from my house and they had a big van and shit
7:09

I miss epicly later’d
Sister would've been weird lol
I wonder if they even know that cacao or chocolate is one the most nutritious foods on the planet and talk about sensual pleasure in taste ehh, Pure bliss and ecstasy in a bean from a jungle tree!

Yeah fuckingawesome stole him ha
Used to skate and never had respect for world industries always see like a young kids company...

Steve Rocco kind of gets slaughtered in all of these series.

#BennyGold @ 1:04
Jerry Hsu would not have been on in 1994 at all
