The Lakai Staple 2016
The Lakai Staple was originally released in 2001, and was an immediate team favorite. The Staple has been updated to today’s standards, and given colorways inspired by three of Lakai’s riders who made the originals look so good: Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, and Mike Carroll.
Once again the Lakai Staple has become an instant team favorite. Lakai riders Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, Mike Carroll, Vincent Alvarez, Sebo Walker, Jon Sciano, Yonnie Cruz, and Tyler “Manchild” Pacheco were given the new Staple to test on a day in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles.

Chocolate’s Traveling 20 Year Birthday Party Part 1
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.

Marc Johnson’s Top 5 reason you should see ‘Her’
1. Go see the movie ‘Her’ because Spike directed it. Spike has given so much of his life and heart to skateboarding, and so many amazing things that you love wouldn’t exist without Spike Jonze. We should support our own. Spike is one of us.
2. Go see the movie ‘Her’ because Spike called me up to go skate one day around Hollywood when he had a break from filming, and he learned backside 360s off curb cuts and frontside full cabs down a set of stairs, and I thought that was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen. Here’s this director with amazing roots in skateboard history who wanted to learn 360 ollies and just went out and learned them one day. Spike is magical.
3. Go see the movie ‘Her’ because Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash in ‘Walk The Line’, a movie that made me cry a few times. Seriously. Joaquin is sporting an incredible mustache in this new film about a very warm, thought-provoking, and surprising love story. You should check it out and show some love to Spike, Joaquin, and mustaches in general.
4. Go see the movie ‘Her’ because Malto is super cute, and Malto rides for Girl and Girl was co-founded by Spike which means going to see ‘Her’ is kinda like going to see Malto’s good friend’s movie which will make Sean very stoked. You don’t want to disappoint Sean Malto.
5. Go see the movie ‘Her’ because Eric Koston is in the movie too! Koston really loved ‘Video Days’ which Spike also filmed in 1990. Guy Mariano was in Video Days. Everyone loves Guy and Frosty. Guy and Frosty co-founded Fourstar Clothing, which Brian Anderson and Tony Trujillo ride for. I don’t even need to tell you how awesome Anti-Hero is. It’s all connected, folks. Spike creates amazing cinema. For skateboarding and also for Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett is very very very very beautiful. And you can tell her I said so.
*All kidding aside, thank you Spike for everything you’ve given us skateboarders. All the cool skate videos and classic photography, and all of the work you’ve done and help you’ve given us at Girl, Chocolate and Lakai. We love you dearly and we’re gonna support the work you do too. Viva Spike!

Christmas in Hollywood
Last night was the annual Girl Christmas Party at Musso and Franks in Hollywood. Pretty sure I’ve only missed one in the last 11 years, it’s always a blast.
Mike was there last night acting as official photographer. With the lens cap on. Shier wasn’t impressed.
Sal and Cheeks aka Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless were hosting the “Skaters who don’t know enough about sports but still talk shit Show”. Sketchy table to get caught up at.
Eric Anthony was dressed to kill last night, Bill Nye science guy styles.
Double Daniels.
Then on the other side… These guys have been torturing each other since forever.
Sam somehow manages to get up in front of everyone and give an awesome speech every year. Last night was no exception.
Two Mikes and a Jerry. I think MikeMo looks so hard cause of the Mike’s hard lemonade he was double fisting.
Dubbs and Reda. Two class acts.
Wheatley and Scooch over by the bar. Scott is tall too, I swear.
Chris and Marc were having a Back 40 power lunch.
Rickk, Dubbs, Rudy and Eldy.
EMB over here. Good to have Lee back in town for one night at least.
Cheeks and DL!
SOTY sandwich with Rickk!
Then as is the tradition it was time to take the shitshow out into the parking lot. I think this was the first time no one ended up in a pile on the ground. We did manage to find a “working” pay phone tho. Merry Xmas Everybody!

Video Hype/Van Life Part 2: A River Runs Through It
The Salt Lake Demo ended with the best product give away situation I’ve seen to date. First up a push up contest, last one going gets the board.
Even Rickk and Eldy wanted in on the action! Casey would make a very effective cult leader.
Backwards race up the bank. Pure comedy.
These parents were stoked!
These guys are such demo machines they had to keep it going by the van. Elijah reenacts his greatest hits for the kids.
Human Hippie Jumps!
You ok big dawg?
Koston ended it with a free swing clinic for all the golf fans in attendance.
Then it was on to the SLC nightlife. It started out mellow.
Then Rickk took it up a notch.
Koston tried to kick it into high gear.
And before you know it…
“This happens every time you try to hang with the kids, Rickk.”
The next morning it was time to drive to Denver. First we had to film a quick “where’s my ID rap video”.
Then Cory and Elijah tried to get in on Carroll’s exercise regimen.
It’s a great team building exercise as well.
On the way to Denver the Coalatree guys invited us over to their ranch for a BBQ. Paradise.
MJ was born for this shit.
Locals.
The mini-ramp session was firing! Serendipitous doubles with Mike and Elijah. The ramp was rad enough to bring Carroll out of retirement!
Raven blasts while Mo eats.
“Enough with the surprise photo shoots!”
Cory is going to be in the next X-Games vert contest. Watch.
Still got it! MC.
Sick place to stand, Cory.
Meanwhile Eldy was filling out an application to move in.
Then as the sun went down and it started to get cold, Cory decided it was a perfect time to take on the rapids.
On ramp.
See you in Denver, Cory.
Ended the day with some solid country living.
“You sure you know what you’re doing Mike?”
Rick and Beebs by the fire.
Time to get back in the van. Thanks for an epic day Coalatree! Next stop, Denver….
