For this year’s Skateshop Day Crailtap reconnected with Girl alum Eric Koston to bring back an iconic piece of history-the Koston “Pictionary” board, originally designed by Lance Mountain and released in 1994.
Here’s the kicker: They’ve got four original, 1994 samples mixed in with the new batch, and one of those four features Lance’s hand-drawn artwork! Each deck will be shrink-wrapped in a mystery black bag, so you won’t know if you’re getting a re-issue or an original until you crack it open.
Made by PS Stix on the original Girl mold, this re-issue is available only in skateshops, releasing on Skate Shop Day, February 15th, 2025.
Introducing Double Duro CHUBBIES. Wide, plump, and round CHUBBIES feature a super wide road surface and big rounded edges for controlled slide and easy lock.
Longtime Birdhouse pro, and get this, inventor! Shawn Hale’s product isn’t a new griptape formula either (thank god), it’s a acupuncture slide called Avos. Something tells us this product will be everywhere in a few years, so enjoy this early look into Shawn’s foot relief revolution. – JENKEM
“Take yourself back to 1997. A young art student from Cal Arts is at Chocolate HQ in Torrance, California pouring chocolate sauce into a foam-core mold. Geoff McFetridge is working on his first board series for Chocolate. McTNT, as we called him, was introduced to the Art Dump by fellow Cal Arts alumni and Girl in-house artists, Bucky Fukumoto and Johannes Gamble. Johannes video taped the process and later created the animation for the intros in MOUSE. Fast forward almost 30 years. A now much respected and sought after artist, McFetridge heeds the call to pour more Chocolate Drips. Thank you, Geoff.” – Andy Jenkins

The “Drips” series by Geoff McFetridge releasing January 30th at crailtap.com Featuring Jordan Trahan, Erik Herrera, Carlisle Aikens, Vincent Alvarez and James Capps.
