Who here buys 'em regardless of the China wood situation?

Seems like, despite all of the belly-aching, people still rock 'em anyway.

Let's talk about this.

They always feel weird after a few sessions to me so I don't ride them. This was years ago so it's not an issue for me.

I would never purchase a Girl board, although, I like their image and team.

Mandown · « **Reply #3 on:** August 17, 2007, 02:50:38 PM »

The team and the graphics are the biggest selling point and that's why girl/chocolate are still around.I myself am not gonna buy a board of theirs till i know the boards are of quality again.

the last girl deck i had was a carroll in like 2002, 2003? was that pre- or post-chinese wood? it was fine, but i have my usual companies shit that i skate and you know, like some dood once said, if it ain't broke don't break it. i would like to note for the record that i had gino iannucci's first board on chocolate.

i gave in and bought a skate mental because i liked the graphic and it was a little longer than most boards. it was amazing the first couple sessions, but it lost it snaps really fast.

I feel the same about them as I do Enjoi- Love the team, hate the decks.
It’s a shame, because I had a couple of their boards when the first started and they were sick, and then I started getting the ones that turned to mush in three days and snapped on flat ground ollies.
I wish it were different, because I’d love to support them.

Add art direction, minus Sam S.

All my encounters with him he's come off like a cokehead deuche. Just sayin'.

kools · « **Reply #11 on:** August 17, 2007, 06:01:38 PM »

sam s is definately a wannabe baby sitter.
I was having drinks with friends once and they were friends with some of the guys on girl/chocolate and sam s was there. he was trying to vibe me all night because i was having drinks with my friends.
teams rule/ boards not so great.
royal trucks were pretty sucky last time i rode them aswell.

idk, girl boards r my favorite..i think its worth it even though i broke two biebels in a week skating flat....they feel on point..like flip it breaks fast but the while skating it is tha shizznatch!

Smyth seems like a dope nigga..i like the dude..seems cool. plus he slumps all the good ass music from the YAY! yay!

koots · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2007, 06:26:07 PM »

I'm riding my first Chocolate board ever at the moment- a Scott Johnson.

It came with a stamp on the top that said "made in usa"...but I don't really care about that nationalist bullshit.

Been over a month now and it's still as snappy as the day I bought it.

what graphic is it? is it a new model?

dirtjers · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2007, 07:13:42 PM »

the stevie bar series was like my 5th board ever. keeping in mind my first two boards lasted damn near a year a piece. i later had the york bar series, both were so good, probably sticking out in my mind as two of the better boards i have ever had.

whatnot · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2007, 07:16:11 PM »

My last set up is a Sheffey OG series around 2000, and it is still the same shape till today.

Weeks ago I went to Sydney, I think what the hell and set up a Chocolate Anderson there, didnt think too much about the china wood issue.

And after a few sessions its nose just chipped, it never happened to my Sheffey deck, so I think it is really different.

Edward Penishands · « **Reply #19 on:** August 17, 2007, 08:16:37 PM »

i bought a pappalardo chocolate, and i love that thing so much. something about chocolate boards, that the tail is nice and snappy..........like i don't have to put as much effort to pop my tricks, the tail pops nice and fast, which i absolutley love. definatly getting another, quality wise? feels the same as my zoo york, if not better after 2 weeks.

al boo boo · « **Reply #20 on:** August 17, 2007, 08:20:15 PM »

i was bout to quit and rollerblade becuz of brink...until i ran into shane rodriguez...i tried his board and he gave me his number..he ended up giving me a guy mariano board and a sheffy some swiss bearings and girl wheels a dvs shirt and hella stickers..when he rode for blindside..i was super fucking stoked outta my mind...anyways he ended up leaving the scene on behalf of Romp related subjects..now hes back..thanks man! REMEMBER THE GRAPHICS WITH THE BUGS ON IT..fuckin dope.

theroyaltrout · « **Reply #23 on:** August 17, 2007, 08:37:57 PM »

I ride allot of chocolate decks - the shapes seem weird to me but for some reason they just work so well

al boo boo · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2007, 08:43:59 PM »

i love to give a new girl board a nice tailslide mark..or a few front boards just to spice things up..i keep it simple, hardly put stickers these dasy.

ive had some good girl and chocolate boards and some bad ones. i had a mccrank girl board in may/june and the nose chipped really fast on stuff a board shouldnt chip on. right now im riding a santa cruz with the fiberglass top layer and its seriously one of the best if not the best board ive ever ridden. it responds so good im getting all these tricks back that i lost years ago, i love this santa cruz deck so much
