Richard Mulder & Mike York.

Double the chocolate.

Richard and Mike were both on Chocolate for much of the 1990s and early 2000s. Each had a stint on World Industries before switching to the Crailtap team. Richard also rode for Foundation and Mike was on Stereo in 1993. There was so much overlap between Chocolate and DVS that it's no wonder Mike Carroll and Rick Howard partnered with them when they launched Lakai in 1999. I dig the backside tailslide photo of Mike. Richard might be one of the first to explore becoming a real estate agent once the professional skateboarding ride was nearing the end. He had a clothing company called Heel Bruise, too.
