Jordan Trahan On Chocolate

[Pappy Jones]

Funny that they waited almost two years to announce him but I imagine the chocolate vid will be out real soon

[Baby on Board]

bout fucking time crail! pretty cool to see them putting on east coast/nyc people (even if theyre transplants) instead of keeping the same old west coast style theyve had the past few years

Louisiana/Texas are about as east coast as it gets without being on the east coast. The spots are haggard, the concrete sucks, humidity is killer.

So stoked for Trahan, will buy his board. Crail wood is real good

It's sick, but they've had quite a few NYC guys on Chocolate over the years. Pops, Gino and Keenen (although Gino and Keenen lived in Cali when they got on). Girl has had a few guys from the east coast but most of them lived in Cali (Jereme, BA, and Sheffy. Tony Ferguson and McCrank are from Ottawa, but have lived in BC forever).

He got his pro board reveal alongside with James Caps on the last trip to Costa Rica. Someone posted the photo in another thread.

When is the chocolate video coming? can't wait

agreed, maybe the most interest I've had for a Crail project since Pretty Sweet
would love some Jordan, Carl, Erik, Hosea and Stevie footage

Him and Capps are officially on.  Looks like they're finally bringing back the Hecox portrait decks too.  Carl's gotta be next soon.

Better late than never.

Stoked for Trahan! He's wickedly good.

I do not understand how James Capps went pro before Carl Aikins but maybe I've just been missing something

Dude's in his early 30's so it might have been that.  Capps, I mean.

Carl is turning pro shortly. Its already in the works. Just wondering if the second is going to be Hosea or Erik.

[Murge]

Stoked girl and chocolate both seem to be getting it together somewhat. Legit thought Trahan on chocolate was gonna be a slap inside joke like “I could see whoever on krooked “

he a powerhaus

Looked at that graphic too fast and thought Trahan was an air bender

It'll be Erik for sure, but Hosea will follow. Im loving the new Chocolate team

fuuuuuuuuck yeah

Damn now if they kick off crob, eldy, kenny, Stevie and Vince off we have a legit company going. I’m sure people will hate that opinion but the only way crail makes it now is it to kick off the old blood and see if they can survive with out crob and eldy boards funding the company. Wait isn’t raven still on somehow? Kick him off too .

The first 9 club episode after Roberts & Eldridge being dropped would be truly something. You think either of them have met the newer guys?

i agree with everyone but vincent. he fits the new chocolate so much better than the old one. unfortunately crob probably outsells the rest of the team

"felt like a lifetime working on this" lol

[#switchgod]

One to hang, one to skate. So stoked to see the new vid!

[mattchew]

So sick. Love his 5Boro part so much. Very excited for a new Chocolate video.

[PatrickSkateman]

Solid addition. Chocolate very much benefits from The Ewing Theory in modern times. Crazy to think they’re a sleeper company now, like The Houston Texans of skateboarding (almost literally 😂).

[LebowskisRug]

I don’t think they need to kick anyone off, even dudes I don’t love. They don’t need to add tons more new people and have never had to create space in the past. Even back in the day a lot of their roster was past their prime and they had dudes like Castillo whose boards no one bought. I’m down for money to roll in whatever way possible so they can keep adding risers I want to see.

I do feel Griffin fits the new Chocolate more than the new Girl.

If they put out a Castillo board right now and it was my size I skate I’d buy it ASAP.

[Eggie Vedder]

I once saw Jordan Trahan front nose slide the ledge over across the curb at LES in an unplanned run first try. It’s like a 20 foot front nose. The new Chocolate additions are really good.

[anthonym]

Can't be cutting my boy James out of the picture!

[Reed Richards]

As good of a time as any to post this again.
