We are stoked to see Chocolate slowly rising back up to the relevance the brand used to have. A reason for that probably is the breath of fresh air brought by the new team riders, but also still including some OG riders on trips. Who doesn´t love to see a Vincent Alvarez skating the same spot next to the young Erik Herrera?
Filmed & edited by John Marello.
Harry Lintell, Austin Kanfoush, Matt Gottwig, James Capps, Alex Conn and Sean Greene in “Avenues and Alleyways” a video shot in SF for Spitfire Wheels. Harry is on another level, it seems! S/O to Mister Lintell.
Even in the sunny land of LA it occasionally happends that it is raining. So for the latest Crailtap Weakdays episode the crew had to take shelter at the Crail Park.
Featuring Jerry Hsu, Vincent Alvarez, Justin Eldridge, James Capps, Jon Sciano, Andrew Brophy, Braydon Szafranski, Rick Howard, Brandon Biebel and Chris Roberts.
With its ups and downs I’d say 2016 was all in all a solid year for Girl and Chocolate Skateboards. Some of the good moments of the past year are composed in this review edit.
Featuring Vincent Alvarez, Tyler Pacheco, Brandon Biebel, Simon Bannerot, James Capps, Jerry Hsu, Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Rick McCrank, Justin Eldridge, Kenny Anderson, Andrew Brophy, Elijah Berle, Cory Kennedy, Chris Roberts, Jeron Wilson, Zach Saraceno, Griffin Gass and Johnny Jones.
Fly outs, lines, back-to-backs and good times. That’s what Girl and Chocolate Skateboards made of their day at Rosemead, California. To see Andrew Brophy in there as well is maybe not enough to claim that with Girl he might have found a new board sponsor after Cliché went out of business, but still interesting enough to start a rumor.
Featuring Tyler Pacheco, Vincent Alvarez, Simon Bannerot, James Capps, Andrew Brophy, Justin Eldridge, Rick Howart and Jerry Hsu.

Das Supra Footwear Team hingegen ist in DaPlaygrounds auf Mission gewesen. Da sind auf jeden Fall ein paar neue Moves am Start!
James Capps ist ein Amateur aus den U.S.A, der verdienterweise ein Video Check Out bekommt.
