The deck is part of the eleven piece 2014 City series released in august 2014, that commemorates the 20 year anniversary of Chocolate Skateboards. The whole series features every pro skater of the team in a Los Angeles Landscape and each deck has a letter or number on the nose truck spot, to form Chocolate94. On this board graphic we can see Jerry Hsu standing in front of the Jerry’s Donuts store. It’s inspired from the famous LA landmark, the Randy’s Donuts, which is located in Inglewood. If we take a closer look, we can see a bin with the Chocolate logo on it. It’s the only time the brand logo appears on this graphic. This series is one of the biggest made by Chocolate, with eleven decks. Evan Hecox did the graphics of it and it was obvious to mark the brand anniversary, because he does “probably a good 90% of the graphics of Chocolate”, said Andy Jenkins, former senior art director at Girl and Chocolate Skateboards, in an interview for Green Label.
