"Chico Stix" https://www.chicobrenes.com
Chico coming out with a line of shaped boards
Defo grabbing one
-
This is sick
-
ngl, came here for the candy/skate crossover, but this is cool too
-
Posted about it in the big boy thread while back, surprised he went back down to 8.75 on his big boy shape through. I love that shape though so I’ll be down either way (and if he’ll ship internationally)
-
He's will instantly sell every board he can get made. Good call, Chico.
-
Where do I sign up?!?
-
It was only a matter of time, these will sell like hot cakes.
Maybe should’ve done this last year
-
Very down with this. Looking forward to seeing more
-
You had me at Chico
-
I think I saw 8.25 on his story as well.
-
definitely support anything Chico. still can't figure out why adidas pays MJ and has him on the team page instead of Chico, probably the biggest travesty in skateboarding
-
I am mad hyped about these decks. Not sure if I can get one. A bit surprised he didn't went with any company, but still nice.
-
10% of all proceeds go to shipping skateboards to Nicaragua, in case you need another reason to support Chico.

I feel the same….except they both deserve to be on the team page, lotta slander about MJ lately, don’t know how I feel about it, guess he pissed off a lot of older dudes with the whole Lakai thing I guess, but he’ll always get a legend pass in my book, his whole tiltmode opus was a hell of a thing, and as watered down as business and whoever is, he still is the dude who made shuv it reverts on flat look pretty tight

Chico puts out 500x times the footy MJ does these days, the fact that Adidas doesn't pay him coupled with the reality that since he left chocolate only Krooked could give him a single guest board is a crime against skateboarding culture as a whole!

Dude hasn’t done anything on a skateboard in a few years. Gino and Penny have put out demonstrably more in the last year or so, for instance.

Hard agree

I know I often miss the instagram stories but saw these so took a snap of them for anyone who didn't see it.

That is for the first lot of special signed boards with that graphic, from what I read.
So yeah 50 and that is it for that lot, but there will be more with other graphics in future runs.
Limited supply and what seems like very limited distribution too, so US only at this stage, but he is able to ship them (at your expense) where ever, which seems almost crazy to pay twice to three times for a deck, but each to his own as far as that goes.
Good luck to anyone keen to get one!

Maybe he waited until all the " Covid one hit wonders" came and went. That we can all actually skate them and they won't be leaned against the wall in someone's garage covered in dust.

Yea uhhh Mj and Chico are two different people, Chico doesn’t skate like MJ and MJ don’t skate like Chico, that being said you are correct in the fact that Chico has put out more footage, but some would argue that MJ footage prolly isn’t a couple nollie heels on flat or a bank somewhere, apples and oranges kid, love Chico and live MJ, they both deserve to be fully on adidas
-
Wonder what the price is going to be, planned on grabbing the shape to skate but don’t want to pay for the signature. Guess I should wait for a later drop unsigned so I don’t feel bad about skating one

and MJ went to adidas because lakai couldn’t handle all of his big “ideas” while Chico (who also had trouble with crail) just let his skating do the talking. I’m not even taking about Chico’s daily footy on Instagram, I’m taking about the full 6 minute part he released last year (with no real paying sponsors), I never thought that out of the all the original girl/ chocolate crew that he would be the most productive in mid 40s.
You’re right though, apples and oranges, You can’t compare any other street skater in Chico’s age bracket to him because they simply aren’t that productive.
***
I love that he’s doing his own thing, but it would have been better if a bigger/ well established brand picked him up and let him have fun with his shapes…

I can totally agree with that, i probably sound a little bitter toward the MJ hate though, he was like my first favorite skater and will always have a soft spot for that bald weirdo, Chico kills it and deserves everything, and it’s a fucking shame that adidas can’t recognize that this dude has been a running billboard for their brand since I can’t remember, on a side note…..a MJ and Chico brand would pretty cool, ha I feel like MJ is gonna close up business and whatchamacallit soonish if not later, how tight would it be if he started riding Chico stix lol

Any dimensions listed aside from width?
I also don’t give a fuck about a signature and just want to skate one of them so might hold off until there’s a regular run. Stoked regardless.
-
14.5 WB on the 8.75
14 WB on the 8.25
-
I have no opinion about Chico vs. MJ, but I know for certain that if I had to pick one of those dudes to go skate with some morning, and then get some burritos for lunch, it'd be Chico by a country mile
-

Probably couldn’t get stock or at least not quality. Sick for him tho . I don’t think everyone should start a brand but if he just keeps these small batch it’s genius. He makes those old school shapes look like so much fun in his footage. Be funny if snagged Cory and just did all those phawt shapes together . That’d be a fun company.

Chico of short wheelbase on his big boy? Either way it’s already sold out…
-
Hope you guys coped some. I was going to but at that price I’d need a shit and free shipping included. Idk but I think that too high of a price for him. I get it’s limited... but like another 10-50 (looking at you Muska) won’t pop up. Lol
-
$98 deck with $22 shipping? $120 for a deck I would skate... I love Chico but I couldn't do it. I picked up a new Cardiel deck at the local for half that price instead.
I'm presuming these were priced b/c they were a limited first run graphic and signed. I hope he put's out a less exclusive run at some point.
Anyone know what wood shop he used?

Like Chico's shit? Or maybe a guest shit from some random pro?
-
For that price I probably wouldn't skate it. Let's all hope for a bigger run with usual prices. But that clip got me really stoked and the shapes look nice.

Definitely copping a pink stain. Dig the orange logo on grey too.

New boards in stock and they’ve got wheel wells too. Just picked up a couple. Shipping is same price for two boards as it is one.

Just got the same for a fun board, definitely not my normal setup. I’ve been on the Chico stix popsicles since December and am fully stocked. Love the shape.
-
Curious if all 75 of these special editions will sell at US$98 each.
Barnyard shape so I am guessing a whole lot of "wall board" more than skate action or just for memories.

I feel like the "El Raton Speedy" graphic was the best, but that is just me.

Not just you. El Raton has that classic World vibe where this is closer to Stereo’s cartoon rebrand.

this! I’m so glad I snagged one, he should just make it a a regular release and sit back and count the cheques
-
Speaking of El Raton graphic...
Second pic = just perfect.
The clip is awesome too.

On second thoughts, I just wanted to see the board without having to do anything else.

Sorry, sometimes I go a bit stir crazy.

Can anyone compare the girl loveseat shape to chicos big boy shape? They seem fairly similar?

Chico’s board is longer and the nose tapers a lot more, the nose on the love seat is more round/ full.

Ok good to know. Never tried his shake before but it seems super fun. Might have to cop
