from crailtap
"The Chocolate site is about to get a major overhaul. New layout, new content, maybe even a new dude!'"
my guess is vincent alvarez
-
lem villemin?
JAVIER IS FINALLY GETTING HOOKED UP!!!
-
I don't care who it is,
I'm just glad choco is having some ams again
-
Sarmiento would be some of that Chocolate they've been missing.

Now that would be sick! good call MS
-

no he was on the firm
and while on the subject of the firm who thinks it would be sick if lance jumped ship with flip and got hooked up by girl?
-
Well I assumed that was the Javier 808 was refering to so I had to agree.

i would be hyped if it was actually javi......theres something really wrong in the skateboard industry when someone with no board sponsor puts out this part

i hope its Lem...he rips in the new Adidas DVD promo thing.
-
kevin romar?
-
I would be surprised if it wasn't vincent.

Seems like Choco wouldn't be a bad fit for Javi... He needs to be hooked up proper though no two ways about. Seems like he'd fit in over at DNA as well, maybe Habitat?

habitat would be tight but i would rather him be on something that is about to put a video out

sarmiento on choco seems to fit. ;D

Lem, check his ride in the Adidas Paris flick. Picked Chocolate over Plan B, good for him.

berrics footy too. All chocolate gear. But you know, since industry people check this out and stuff, Javier would be a sick fit on Chocolate
-
i would purchase a javi chocolate

i remember reading mike carroll's panasonic blog and in one post there was a pic of rodrigo tx wearing a chocolate hat....you think rodrigo would leave flip for chocolate?

what ever happened to Marty? Wasn't he full on chocolate??? He got on then disappeared. I guess he popped his head up for a matix ad, but that's about all i've seen from him in the last 2-3 years.

my nigga devine must feel like the only negro in the class
jeron goes to the same school but takes classes in the other building
they must feel like the lead singer of bloc party at one of their shows
dammit tae sean shamil keenan (i miss u) and stevie
besides them two
they wont never let a negro set foot in that building ever again
girlchoc used to represent all races
and they did that shit on purpose to expose skating to EVERYONE
whether they acknowledge that shit or not nowadays
i cant believe people are still on thier nuts
they are far from what they used to be
and have gotten so caught up in thier legacy that
they have abandoned what they stood for
their on some straight emo bullshit
howard dont even skate to soul music no mo
carroll wears pink shoelaces
and jeron is the onli skategro on the team
and like i said 3 yrs again
lakai dont fukkks with niggas
never have never will
wait
beebs is a skategro
and my nigga
but thats the only reason i support lakai a lil bit
-
they aren't going to put javier on
because there is no justice in the skate industry
some people win some people lose

chocolate is very a diverse team. they even have a midget.

damn how stupid of me to mistake him for jesus... argh
-
:o :o :oGuy Mariano of Chocolate?!?!?!?!! :o :o :o
-
yeah i kinda agree with sheff.......i mean i dont think they should put on a black guy just for the sake of having another black guy
but when chocolate started it was all different races and backgrounds and was tight........still tight but it was like shamil, paulo, keenan, chico, daniel, richard, gabriel.....were there even any white guys on the team when it started?? ohh yeah york but anyways now its all spanish and white with the token black guy.....
-
YEah, devine seems to be the only colored dude, what's up?
-
What the fuck... It's not like they are United Colours Of Benetton.

You aren't allowed to talk about anything girl/choco related. You just called them a bunch of non-progressing 30+ year old dudes that can only do switch ups. So, you obviously just have no taste.
And Sheff in the choco tour 2003 they make fun of the fact that magazines called them a multicultural team, they were just skating with their friends, not trying to do some "we are the world" shit. Sometimes in big cities like LA, you see people hang out with people of all different races, not because they are trying to prove a point, just because there is a lot of diversity

Are you really so poorly educated that this is how you really type? Or are you just further perpetuating the stereotype that a staggering number of young, black americans are illiterate? I guess it's cool to act dumb. And as a previous poster said, Chocolate was only diverse at first because that's just the way it happened to be. LA is a multicultural melting-pot.

I hope the new dude is Lem Villemin. He's way sicker than the other options. I don't think Sarmiento is really an option, unfortunately. They're gonna put on an am.

I think people dropped the Mikemo hate after FF dropped, and saying Paul is boring is just an excuse to find something wrong with a prodigy.
For the record, I like all three.

lem is boring as is mike mo. mike mo fully flared part reinforced the fact that his skating is boring.......he had one creative/unexpected trick and they used it for his last one......id rather just skip to pops part and then rewind about twenty seconds than sit through all those double set nollie heels...same thing with malto.....zzzzz

How is this in anyway boring?

he does go really fast and he's teribly good at skateboarding but....I still had a hard time sitting thorugh that (maybe it was the song)
I guess that theres just so many different people skating putting out parts these days that you develop specific tastes for what you like and thats just not what I like.....all of his shit is just too perfect and expected and....generic

How is this in anyway boring?
its like puting up the intro to guilty and asking "How is this in anyway corny as fuck?"
he really didnt do anything in there i found interesting at all. some rail feebles and nosegrinds, hardflips, inward heels, backtails. theres dozens of ams doing the same exact things. just because he's on adidas doesnt mean im going to like him. maybe some day i'll change my mind, who knows. but there was nothing unique or interesting about that, really.
-
ugh shutup theres just as many ams doing the crap you wanna see, its a part from some random puzzle video if you're gonna judge him on his lack of creativy and spot selection at least wait untill he has a new part. And regardless i think the people over at chocolate might know what they're doing as opposed to some kid whos trying oh so hard to fit in on this forum for the past 4 years

yeah...there were a few sick things -- that pivoted-as-hell fs flip up a curb in a line was dope as fuck -- but he kinda has that "trying too hard to look effortless" snowboarder-y kinda style, and everything looks really, really pre-planned. he looks like the kind of guy that wouldn't know spontaneity if it bit him in the ass. doesn't seem very...chocolate-y. a little too trick-obsessed and not very fun.

correction: 5 years, get your facts straight
do you want me to like what you like? you obviously have a problem with me not being into him, so, if youre just gonna say "ugh shutup ya lol faggot GAY" like you do in every one of your posts i guess i'll like him
and for the record, i cant think of like 10 ams that im really into, but apparently you know them, so if you could name them for me, thatd be great

wait a sec isn't marquis preston on chocolate flow? maybe its him

javier has everything lem has plus a lil more
and way better style.
if he was 16 years old...
someone might care
why is that? can anyone tell me why?

I think Lem is a great skateboarder, but I do not yet see him make the same impact previous chocolate riders made, like Gino, Keenan, Stevie, York and MJ.
-

marquise isn't an idiot. He knows that its impossible to go anywhere on chocolate flow. He gets baker flow now.

ROBOT style? Lem? Are you fucking kidding me. Lem may have a similar trick selection to those dudes but his style is incredibly loose... Just shows some poeple on here have no clue what they are talking about. You can have your opinions but saying that he has a "robotic" style is just plain regular.

robotic has nothing to do with how you carry yourself. It has to do with doing that same thing every time you do a trick. Now I'm not going to examine every lem trick but he is definately not out of the ordinary. Now lem may have a "loose" style but theres also tons of other ams that have loose styles. The spontanious ones are the ones who stick out in my mine, like john motta.
-
i bet if mike mo and malto were from europe we'd like them more....
-
i understand the lem hate, i mean all his shit looks almost too perfect. but he's got serious talent, if he's the new dude on chocolate, im going to be hyped.
plus i thought the alvarez kid was on girl?
edit: as for javier, he needs to be pro damnit.
-
you guys ever think cookiehead will make a comeback?
-
If the dude is on a Girl company that means he fuckin rips.
I don't really follow the industry like I used to (this is really my only source of info) so I'm not sure whose hot and whatnot but damn that kid is good. I don't see how people can be critical. Not enough cellar doors or something?

I don't understand how it doesn't have anything to do with carrying yourself, since carrying yourself would have something to do with how you do your tricks. What I'm getting from your logic robotic could also include people like Chico and Jimmy Cao. Yes, under what you just said Chico would be classified as "robotic", but he's not so you're bullshitting so you can validate not liking Lem. Just say there's something about him you don't like.

Its about Vincent. If you don't get on chocolate immediately after getting on flow, you'll never get on.

wait guys, before you all judge lem on this part above ... that is leftover footage. the adidas promo part was 90% tour footage. the part before was a shop video part nobody saw here until it came out as rough footage 2 years later.
he's not generic, . he WILL make an impact on skateboarding, but you have to wait for that 4-5 years. he needs that time
-
if Lem is full am for Chocolate, their veterans will help shape him into one hell of a future. Dude is good whether you like his skating or not.
-
This guy is so good. I just think it's funny how being too good (ie Robot steez) makes you less ineteresting to watch. Skaters almost have to dumb it down a little just to make tricks seem a little more interesting.....
But wether with Javier or Lem, I'll be amped. I say bring Javier and Lem both on at the same time.....please everyone.

i dont know why folks here are so into lem vanilla or whatever. everyone's always complaining about mikemo and prod "robot" styles but this guy gets the free pass? i think it may have something to do with adidas
For the record, I like all three.
jesus, in every fucking post you whine about progression, shut the fuck up

Either way, Chocolate is pretty good at picking up talent that fits their team. Minus Justin Timberlake of course.

well, do you have a link to any good footage of him? he's obviously extremely talented, but i wasn't feeling that video.
as for the infallibility of girl fam's flow/am selection...uh, jereme rogers? they might be able to pick'em for the most part, but every once in a while a kook will slip through

hey when they picked him up he wasnt a kook

lem is boring as is mike mo. mike mo fully flared part reinforced the fact that his skating is boring.......he had one creative/unexpected trick and they used it for his last one......id rather just skip to pops part and then rewind about twenty seconds than sit through all those double set nollie heels...same thing with malto.....zzzzz
For mike mo, his fakie switch front crook fakie 360 flip out didn't get you atleast a little bit? Like the way he catches it 270 and kinda rips it around the rest of the way? I don't think I;ve ever seen it done before either? I mean, never been done, executed well, but not in a robotic way, what could be to hate? Its one of my favorite tricks in the video. He;s got other good ones too. Plenty of 'em.
-
shit man I actually did think of that trick you pointed out earlier after making the post.......it had slipped my mind because I only sat through his sleep inducing part once or twice
I like how you added the part about catching it 270 and ripping it or whatever as an example of how it wasn't robotic.....veeeeeery persuasive.

lem did a front 360 shuv, how could he not be on?

Mike-Mo is boring? Boring?
Mike-Mo is going to be one of the best if not the best skater of his generation. Barring some kind of career ending injury or drug addiction.
I know it's a little cheesy, but the guy does 720 double flips. That's not normal... And is sure as fuck isn't "boring".

Fakie Switch Front Crook? I think you're making up tricks there...
-
i actually am kinda feeling mikemo, he's not one of my favorites but he kindof has his own bag of tricks, i normally do skip his lakai part but he had some really good ledge tricks, you know the ones im talking about. the rest of it was just every nollie trick down different sets. i just brought him up seeing as EVERYONE was hating on this dude about his robotic style, just as they do with prod
th elem dude is good i guess, i just am not feeling him; if he had unique tricks or a unique style it would be different, but he's lacking both. the only thing unique about him is that he's on adidas and thats why a lot of you are jocking him so hard
-
i'm jocking him cuz he's azn

He's the only skater I can think of that actually has worse style now than when he was a little kid.

Who do you guys like? Every good young skater out now you guys dont like. Please name one person you like thats not on Deluxe. Lem is freakin unreal. Mike-Mo is only 17 for god sakes. What will he be like at age 25. I mean seriously.
-
please name one generalization you didnt just make
ok i guess you could have mentioned half cabs cords and flannels

Damn all this speculation, It could be Doug Brown. He'd go to the demo and have to run to the car to get all his pads...definately Doug Brown on Chocolate

Fakie Switch Front Crook? I think you're making up tricks there...
ha! that does look pretty funny. fakie ollie to switch frontside crooked grind. Also known by friends of mine as "the chocolate trick" and "the ftc trick."
-
earlier in this thread when everyone was talking about Javier, I at first thought they were referring to Nunez.
I mean, he skates the Supreme bowl, no?
His section in the Shut promo was on point....
-

typical nollie feebs
from what ive seen, lem can do almost all the flip tricks regular and switch, do all the shuvit tricks regular and switch, do almost all the slides/grinds regular and switch. he also appears to be able to do most flips/shuvits into his grinds and slides, and then has the ability to take his flat tricks over gaps and stairs.
now that to me sounds like hes got his shit down.
how can you have a unique trick if you can already do them all.
-
you just said he could do tricks; what kind of fucking 12 year old explanation is that?
"im better because i can ollie a deck, ollie two decks, ollie a 4 stair, kickflip and 180 a stair..."
i dont give a fuck really, im not into him, i never said he wasnt good.
but seriously the more in-depth you guys get about him, the more boring you are seriously making him sound.
its not a fuckin math problem, i just dont like watching him

They're baked right on there with everything else and then covererd in mozzarella and drenched in Mama Alvino's special sauce. I may never eat pizza from anywhere else.

big ups to vince.
hes a nice dude, he rips and deserves everything hes getting.
-
It's crazy cuz vince is from the Covina area and i always would see him around skating, and i heard some homies talkin about it and a few months later its official.. damn nice goin dude!
-
vicent is soooo generic, why dont they add someone sick like that always do? they have marqus preston and marty markrawski for fuck sakes ...crailtap has been slipping on banana pills lately
-
generic as fuck?
keep on sippin that haterade.
-
generic as in nothing special about him or his skating, your telling me hes sicker than matry markrawski or lem ? i dont think so fool hasnt been dropped a full part yet
-
i'd say legit switch tranny lines is far from generic
-
son everyone rips tranny nowdays
-
Nice :). I'm really glad it's Vince. Judging from how he spoke in the King of LA video on youtube, the dude seems to have a humble way about him and a healthy attitude towards skating. Good vibes.
Can't wait to see more of this guy. He already rips.

its not all about the tricks, fucko, its also how you do them.
sean young ring a bell?
he didnt do too many unique tricks (except he did a no comply to fakie 50-50, so funny you mention that), he just did it going ballsy fast and had a cool vibe to his skateboarding.
also, im not riding for adidas or chocolate, nor am i riding for anyone; it isnt my job to get "unique"
