When Keenan passed, we set aside all inventory bearing his name – sadness all around. Among these were several dozen board boxes from the City Series 2, labeled Milton. For over 16 years, they remained untouched, until Crailtap recognized they deserved a better home. They belonged among those who cherished Keenan’s spirit – those who shared laughter and admiration alongside him.
Now, as we celebrate 30 Chocolate Years, the moment feels right to share these vintage Richard Mulder decks with the world. This release features new old stock, only 200 available, each screen printed with art by Evan Hecox.
21 years ago today, (August 13th, 2003) the crew headed out to SF to begin their month long adventure. Hot Chocolate is a documentary-style tour video that follows the Chocolate Skateboards team as they travel around the US, skating streets, demos, and filming skits. The team is also interviewed before the trip for a sense of anticipation, and after to reflect on the good times had.
The boys took the trip up to Sequoia Lake for a weekend of fun with our friends at YMCA Skate Camp. Featuring Tyler Pacheco, James Capps, Mike Carroll, Jeron Wilson, Rick Howard, Derick Glancy, Cody Chapman, Tony Latham, Austin Barks and Sam Smyth.
