Jordan Trahan On Chocolate

[Far from relevant]

Wasn't Dick Rizzo flow for chocolate ? woulda been cool to put him and trahan on together..

[natenola forever]

If true, I hope they don’t want Jordan to fully move to California. Would be nice to keep seeing his footage from there and nice for Chocolate to have an east coast presence.

Jordan doesn't live in New York, he's lived in New Orleans for 3 years or so now, he usually flys out for a month at a time when you see coverage of him.

Dick Rizzo is talented, unique, and stylish. There's no doubt in my mind that Sam Smyth would have found a way to snub him.

Yeah I thought he maybe lived somewhere else which is why I didn’t specifically say New York. Wasn’t expecting NOLA though, that’s rad.

Pretty sure that's where he's from originally, no?

Sam Smyth should go in the skateboard hall of fame as worst talent manager of all time.

I thought he talked about this for an interview. He didn't get on Habitat because he didn't want to quit Huf to get on Habitat shoes (similar to the ultimatum they gave other riders like Suciu) and Chocolate just hooked him up on homie flow with no real plans from either side.

I believe Rizzo was a Dan Wheatley recruit

I think it would be fun to sit down and make up an imaginary girl/ chocolate team, based on all the people theyve passed on over the years.

This is one of those, depends on whose version of the story you believe.

Henry claimed that he didn't want to walk away from World checks in his epicly later'd. Gavin and some other people have said Henry managed to piss everyone off on a tour before the official launch and that's how Gavin got a spot. Gavin's a good storyteller, so I think he's exaggerating, because of every creation of Girl story I've heard outside of his, he was key in the creation/planning (such as getting Jeron on, and it planning taking place at his and Koston's place). But, Gavin says he was the last person to get on because Henry pissed people off on Tour in his Chromeballed Interview. I feel I've heard the story of Henry pissing people off elsewhere though, and it wouldn't be surprising.

Kareem and Shiloh were supposed to be on Chocolate, but Rocco gave Kareem Menace so he stayed.

Reem and Shiloh on Chocolate would've been extra sweet.

He's from a small town called Abbeyville, it's somewhere outside of Lafayette, thats about 2 hours from New Orleans. The Lafayette area is where most of the Louisiana pros came from Charlie Thomas, Shannon May, Al Gibson, Justin Roy, I'm sure im missing a few.

Lets not forget that Jordan also had a sick crew of friends which include Christian Willis, Dj Gaudin (switch bs flip wallenberg), Zack Kuehne etc. I used to love these montages they used to put out a while ago.

Dear, Chocolate. Please make this happen. Don't fuck this up like you have in the past due to Smyth's idiocy.

[huggs]

still skating 5boro boards, plus 5boro in the comments too, but...

[Shifty Flip]

Jordan and Manchild both leaving for Pizza.  Confirmed.

[euro tm]

he quit 5 boro recently and is getting flowed chocolate boards but even people at crailtap don’t know what he wants to do yet.

[honey island]

could sense frustration in jeron wilson's voice on the nine club exp when he mentioned that crailtap let people go by like no other

Soooo many over the years. What kills me is keeping dead weight (lack of footage and bizarre picks) like Biebel, Jeron, Eldridge, Roberts, and Tershey and Brophy on the payroll. They are doing a slow changing of the guard and if they don't move soon, they will put Hosea Peeters on the fucked up list

[MeanestCleanestPenis]

So much dead weight. Killed me on the Nine Club experience Eldridge, Roberts and to a lesser extent Jeron lamenting about how dope girl/chocolate demo videos used to be. You guys basically never skate and talk how the company isn't what it was. You're on the team get out there and contribute or step aside for the youth.

yeah that convo made me uncomfortable. Dudes could literally drop a fun curb edit and it would get me hyped. They think it has to be this big production but like Rog was saying make that shit happen
