Feels like they are going for some weird enjoi vibe but these are all really bad.

very un-chocolate of them :(
can’t hate on them for trying (?) but it feels like they’re jumping the shark (maybe not the first time).

I'm for these. Better than the new Girl graphics imo. My shape is the Roberts cat one, too, so I'm down to ride that board.

I like that one comment "Who on the team is stoked on these?"

These are terrible. Sex and skateboarding don't mix, much less on a brand like Chocolate. I had to wonder what they were thinking with the Ian Reid/Girl collab but this is even worse. Sure sex sells but skateboarding is above that, and even if they were trying to put an alternative spin on that antiquated maxim, it still doesn't work. I want Chocolate to grow again so this is annoying to see and hopefully Megan Baltimore sets the fucking art department straight.

Remember when chocolate was the coolest thing in skateboarding? God damn, this isn’t it.

Feedback TS made a really good point at these.
But, these are very off. Chocolate does need to get it's shit together.

I like chocolate figuring out fun graphics. It’s more interesting than the typical chocolate “ bigchunk script pro name”.

The board with the presumably parents fucking with the kid presumably walking in is creepy as fuck.

These are gold. Yeah they might look like enjoi ads from 2008 but theyre rad. The parents having sex on the kids bed is hilarious. Hope its an 8.1

reported. user name is baby on board, referring to a child as an ‘it’ and hoping the child is only a hair over 8 years old, which is far too young to be viewing such sexually explicit imagery.

I get the impression it's an artist who normally does stuff like this....I don't think it's, Rick and Mike or sam smyth asking him to do this, more so giving an artist some freedom to do what he wants....

It comes down to the fact that it’s shitty crailtap wood. Idc what people say about the new woodshop, the boards are still garbage. What’s the point of a good graphic if the board snaps in a week?
