Special treat for this session. Not only do you get Mike Carroll in fine wine mode but you also get the rarely seen, always appreciated, Scott Johnston being all stylish at South Pasadena skatepark. And if that wasn’t enough, young buck, Chris Chann came thru with his signature wizard style. Just so happens that they’re all rocking Adidas!
D.I.Why not?
Carroll goes to Vincent’s new DIY.

Eric Koston & Lance Mountain Revisit The “Pictionary” Board – Crailtap
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.
