There’s nobody like Jerry. He puts in the work, he pays the piper, but the end result is always so damn sweet.
Fire up the group text and next thing ya know you got Eldy, Carroll, Jerry and the whole gang out at the Courthouse Ledges.
Jerry Hsu recently had a photo show in Berlin where Solo Magazine made this cool video showing his photos and his thoughts on taking pictures.
The Chocolate Team recently went to Miami for some shred and sunshine. Featuring Elijah Berle, Raven Tershy, Stevie Perez, Vincent Alvarez, Jerry Hsu, Chico Brenes, Kenny Anderson and Aramis Hudson. To see more check out Chocolate’s Spring ’16 Drop.
And you thought Nora and Daniel were going to be the only cute couple on here this week…
Top 5 things about riding for Maple
1. MJ surprised me with my first package at my house after school
2. The Donger reading his poetry to kids at demos
3. TM Ed Dominick, convinced my parents to let me go on a cross country US tour at fifteen and assured them I would be protected. Strippers and beer in the room on day one
4. They asked me to call Mark Appleyard to try and get him on one time. I did, it was really really awkward
5. Turned me pro Read More →
Some of the bozos around here are having a photo show this Friday night. Come on out, get your hands on a Jerry, grab Smyth’s Malto photo or nab one of Ben’s spooky scenics. And just so you know I’ll be undercutting the rest of the guys by half if you’re looking to fill some wall space at a discount. At the Paper Agency Gallery, 1050 S. Olive, LA, 90015 8pm to midnight.
Couple of weeks ago we took a little trip up to SF, did a couple of demos and skated some spots. Simple, but fun. Here’s the vid. Featurning Sean Malto, Stevie Perez, Rick Howard, Vincent Alvarez, Elijah Berle, Chris Roberts, Justin Eldridge, Brandon Biebel, Jerry Hsu, Raven Tershy and Johnny Jones.
Marc Johnson, Jerry Hsu, Justin Eldridge, Kenny Anderson, Chico Brenes and Sean Malto followed the 20 Years of Chocolate art show to Denver and New York City for some meeting, greeting and, of course, some skating. With Special Guest: Richie Rizzo.
After Denver we went to New York for the next art show. We had some time to skate and found ourself over here. Malto with a warm up crook.
We even made it out to Far Rockaway. Normally I wouldn’t post a photo of Eldy kickflipping in his underwear but he was very emphatic that I shoot it.
We spent a bunch of time down at the seaport benches too. Look out for the undercovers down there.
The NY art show was awesome too. DQM helped us put it on, and it was packed.
Matt Bell and Jahmal WIlliams! LI and Boston.
Too many legends. Tag yourselves.
Poorly poached photo of some rad dudes. Lee, Spencer and O’Mealls.
Andy Jenkins and Jeremy Carnahan. These guys busted their asses to make these shows as good as they were.
Get better Strubing!
CRM TECS!! Peter and Jeff!
Anthony Pappalardo, meet Anthony Pappalardo.

Matt Milligan and Matt Willigan. 20 years of confusion.
Epic Crew. Gino, Cheeks, Kenny, Pops, Bri and Tone.
Fashion week has nothing on a Chocolate art show.
Trying to explode the message boards with this one. 3 guys who love posing for photos.
Then it was on to the Fish. Seniors and Freshman.
Legendary DJ crew. Atiba and Sergio from Quicksand!
What’s up Mic-e!
The next day the crew met up at Astor to try and fight the hangover with slappies before the demo.
We even had a Brian Brown sighting!
Then it was on to the LES park where we were greeted by a 3 story Malto.
The demo was great until it was invaded by 200 bikers. Thanks for the great time NY.
The Chocolate 20th Anniversary Art Show took a little tour of the US earlier this week. First stop was Evan Hecox’ hometown of Denver.
Our crew plus the man behind all the classic Chocolate graphics, Evan Hecox. (Malto was guest starring).
Adult Eldy, meet Baby Eldy.
We had time to hit the streets in Denver before the demo, so we took it to a park. Kenny with a crail for Crail.
I think Jerry has been making Marc laugh since he was about 5 years old.
The first day we hit this rad spot about 4 minutes before it got dark. (Panera bread jam up). Kenny got in this back lip before we had to call it a day.
The next day we went back before the demo. Kenska couldn’t get enough of this place.
Don’t feed the animals.
Pre-demo excitement. Cheeks and Eldy (and Sam)
Malto can’t skate a demo for like an hour after he gets there. He’s like the pied piper.
More airtime for Kenny.
Eldy flipping out of a switch blunt.
It’s a weird world we live in. #selfie #twostoges
Jerry shut the demo down hard with a bs nollie fakie 5-0 on the hubba.
Time for the family favorite. Product Toss!
Hey Marc, now that you’ve finished having 900 conversations and signed a million autographs, pose for a portrait real quick.
Artshows, slappies and demos. If you can’t get down with at least one of those (if not all three) then you’re bumming. In honor of Chocolate’s first 20 years in the biz Marc Johnson, Chico Brenes, Kenny Anderson, Justin Eldridge, Jerry Hsu and Raven Tershy, plus special guest Sean Malto will all be traveling to New York to attend these events, skate, rage, make some friends, make some enemies and eat pizza. Please join us.
It’s been a while but what the hell. I don’t think Jerry ever got one. (Check out some oldies here.)
