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.

Crailtap Found 200 NOS Richard Mulder Decks from 2001…
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.
