One time Muska came to my dump of a home town and shredded a demo. He even pulled a few of us aside to show off the hydraulics and the sound system in his Escalade, lol it was louder than a Metallica concert in there and he had like 7 screens for the DVD player. The best part was that the dude actually watched me pull off a sick line and gave me some pointers about looking into a sponsorship at my local shop. I think he went to Australia or something after that.
Honestly , and look this is just my perspective, Chad knew how to use his self generated hype to his advantage.I appreciate that he was a rail chomper, but that's where most of his skill lied, so it didn't surprise me that Shorty's team only lasted 3 years, and skaters trip so hard on "Fulfill the Dream", but in that video Smolik destroys and was far ahead of his time, where I saw Muska as just an attention seeker.
@@capo_di_capi It's easy to underestimate the level Muska was on at the time. In an Epicly Later'd, Phelps uses Muska as an example how crazy it is some guys never got SOTY - and he knew a thing or two about skating. Watch Anthology and see what kinda shit Muska would do on any given day. That rail stickin out from a banked wall that he 50-50'd first try after filming a whole part in one day is the same wall David Gonzalez got destroyed on in his part that got him SOTY.
They do in my erea we call them old school frontside flips looks sick when the board goes through your legs you can do it with back heels to dudes like muska kareem chet ryan kenreich and ryan gallant all made that trick look good
The worst possible frontside kickflip is where you land 0 degrees and complete the 180 via g-turn. And that's what everyone seemed to be doing in 92/early 93. Illusion flips were way smoother, and all over the scene by '93 until Mike and Eric raised the bar. At least that's the way I remember it. Nobody I knew even considered the Muska flip a separate trick until well into the millennium.
Back in 1998, I remember a friend bringing a skate video to class and it had a part with Chad at a contest or event skating down a handrail with a boombox on his shoulder while wearing a backpack. We thought that was the illest thing we ever saw.
I used to skate the Shortys park every other week back in the early 2000's. All you had to do was call the park, ask Skitso what he wants from McDonalds and BAM instant park access. I wish i remebered his order. I think it was a bigmac combo with nuggets on the side. That park was so clean because of him. Respect.
@@stevebean1234 totally different than what he's talking about. He doesn't mean unfiltered and raw skating he means like drugs and sex and crime and immorality ish like that
It's hilarious....."when you did the research on Muska you found bad things...like hate crimes and drugs"......Muska ....drugs?!?.......that's like 90s peanut butter and jelly.
Christopher Sawyer - I seriously don’t get why people are acting so shocked about this. That time period for skateboarding was very menacing. As a Christian, I will never sign off on the more extreme things that happened back then, but it’s not like it’s a big secret just recently revealed. haha
Christopher Sawyer - Yup. Different times. It was definitely reckless. I definitely feel nostalgic talking about it. Everyone loved Muska back then. He was definitely not the worst person in the skate scene either. That’s probably why people don’t talk about Muska’s clouded past.
@@BrandonBowditch youre totally right; i started skating in 2003 and i could sense a weird residual effect from the 90s and i was 10 years old. It wasn't so much of the light hearted- everybody get some , inclusive mentality we have now.... It was dark and heavy lol.
As someone who champions the illusion style frontside flip, I thought it was interesting that you talk about its limitations. Ive never seen someone do a muska flip to a grind of some kind for example.
Closest thing I've seen to an illusion flip to a grind was Chris Cole's sw FS Flip into a 5-0 in the Cold War vid. It wasnt a true illusion flip, but the flip was vertical than usual.
I had a very similar up bringing to Muska, Skateboarding was a way to escape my home, the guys I grew up skating with became more of a family to me than my own, I was also involved in crime and recreational drugs, I always looked up to guys like Muska, Stevie Williams, and the Menace boys, they were relatable, I wouldnt encourage any kids to live that kind of lifestyle, but honestly I would change a thing and if it wasn't for my skateboarding family I would probably be dead or in prison for real.
It's crazy how everyone's pallet is different 🤔 cuz I think the look like u learned fs flips going up into a bank and they stayed like that. Although I bet for ghetto birds, learning the illusion flip way, is a huge help 💯
Cool video Rad Rat. I’m from Las Vegas and skated with Chad before he was the Muska. I boardslid my first rail with him. It was his first switch rail. He was a super chill guy.
I was about to write the same comment. It wouldn't even be too weird cos I've even seen those poor bastards sponsoring music and guitar related channels, not just gaming. Raid has no limit.
Good vid. I remember you were saying you might not be able to actually do commentary over skate footy anymore, glad you got permission for this hope to see more longform with tons of clips like this.
In my circles, before I quit, my friends and I were doing both the "Muska Flip" style and the "Frontside Flip" style. I referred to the former as a hardflip 180, and I'm kinda surprised that hasn't caught on over the years. Not because I was somehow this massively influential skateboarder, but because it seems like the most appropriate name for the trick.
@@666nacirema666 I guess things are different now. I still think hardflips look best when done vertical, but any recent footage of pros I've watched, they've gone back to the original hardflip, that being an inward kickflip backside pop shuv it. Guess it shows my age that I prefer the 90s version of the tricks.
im pretty sure toy machine ran an ad with that handrail photo..i could be wrong but im sure toy machine had to change the cover of welcome to hell to take that photo of muska off aswell..thats how i remember it at the time..but it was a few years ago.
You're doing a great job telling the younger skaters about Muska, Penny and other older masters that, unlike Mullen or Hawk aren't as known today, this story in particular is very necessary for the way he lived outside of skating too. Keep up the good work, RadRat!
Muska was my idol in 97. The graffiti, the boom box, the clothing. He was so lit. Yall remember the ccs cover at venice? It was fresh af. Plus he was the dopest dude in the Tony hawk games. Check it out, Tom penny is a great as well. But can u see penny step up to the hubba or rails muska stepped to? Nope. Jamie Thomas was the only dude close by. Having kalis and muska on the same team during the toy machine days are my 2 favorite skaters. Gangstalicious
I heard this story and I have a feeling it wasn't the gonz skateboarder and may have been the gonz BMX rider who actually was really big in BMX street in the beginning of that but he road a skateboard to so maybe he didn't have his bike that day and he is from Phoenix so it does make sense his name was Mark Gonzales to
I think a lot of guys Muska's age were at a place in time where they were raised in really homophobic times, and became more enlightened later on as they grew up. There's a lot of Gen-Xers and older Millenials, some guys I know personally, that are completely ashamed of their behavior, that with confronted with old evidence of their ignorance, react like politicians to a scandal; Deny, deny, deny, and when the evidence is overwhelming, admit to a tiny bit of it, and then spread the blame around.
I wonder why the 5050 in the kinked rail wasnt mentioned that much on the scraped video by unsane. They even show when he hits the rail with his ribs in one of the tries! I grew up doing Muska flips and its my most viewed video!!
I’m 39 & I remember all fs flips & hard flips were vertical in skate videos from the 90’s. I got pretty bummed out when they went out of fashion & the newer sideways ones came in. I always thought the vertical ones looked so graceful & stylish!
Back when muska flips were hardflips that's how I learned because 1) first video I saw then bought was fulfill the dream. Then I learned how to flip it easier over a kickflip. Long time later when playing skate with people is the 1st time I ever heard muska flips.
Where you ended the video is where I learned about Muska, his red silhouette Shorty's deck was my first deck I ever had. I grew up in Santa Barbara and Shorty's was a big company over here they had a warehouse and a skateboarding shop called church of skaten so shorty's was everywhere.
After a nine club interview, an epicly laterd and just overall like career interviews/coverage, I think we can be done with Muska research lol. I say that out of love. Like do a retro rippers on Gino or Koston or Kenny Anderson or something. Maybe somebody just as legendary but not quite as much coverage or something so there's more mystique. This was still sick though.
Muska flips are like doing an ollie-late front shuv with a body varial. I think doing them off bumps makes it easier as you just have to launch the board. The catch is weird though, i have been practicing them recently
things u said about him at the beggining of this video are ridiculous. muska is top 10 most influential street skaters of all time without a doubt. have some respect
We were drinking one time at Vegas skate legend Paul Smiths apartment and Mike Chu was there and I had the A-1 Meats Dancing in the Dirt video and I think I had a bit too much St. Ides malt liquor and was telling Mike Chu how awesome his part was in that video. Chad puts his arm around me and leads me around the corner and says, I’ll never forget, “Oh don’t do that bro, they’re gonna think yer a dork” I then tried not to act as drunk and star stuck.
Have you ever considered doing a retro rippers episode on the Gonz? It's easy to argue that he is the most influential skateboarder of all time, yet there are almost no longform documentaries that explore his background or influence. I think if the subject was handled with care, which you seem to do with your video pieces, it could be the ultimate retro rippers episode!
Never liked his skating, really never liked his attitude. But I gotta say, seeing him on the Nine Club, and even more, seeing his concern for Bam when he walks in during Bams interview... He's grown up A LOT. And seems like a good guy now.
Hey man. Not sure how you’re doing irl. But you seem to be doing better. More confident and happier. Buying a shirt soon cuz I really appreciate the hours of content you put out.
Really bizarre how many negative comments this video garnered. People were really getting up in their feelings about Rad Rat being mildly critical about Muska. Between part 1 and 2 of this series, this is the most comprehensive look into the life and career of a character I admired since I first saw him in THPS2 as a little kid. Especially gratifying for me because I wore Circas as a kid until I couldn't find them anymore and I still slap a Shorty's sticker on almost every board I own.
no, rad rat didn't specify when, he just said baggy pants were "never" in style. that's just wrong. not to mentino swing revival in the 90s, ever heard of the mask or swingers asshole
An oz to China? I'd probably still try sending it. My older brother brought weed on a plane in the early 2000s he was like 16 and my mom had no idea lmao
japan is strict but it's also case by case. a guy i know was caught with a few joints in japan, he was deported and banned for 2 years. sounds harsh but hey, if you don't have an actual need to be in japan 2 years isn't bad if you think about it.
Speaking of footage from “Welcome to Hell” featuring Chad Muska, here’s this music video that features bails from that movie: th-cam.com/video/2dy7Cg36qfY/w-d-xo.html
@@undisclosedsteve6361 Tom Penny 🤑 sure skaters can be inspiring, but I think they are first and foremost skaters, and not life coaches. They sure are characters.
@@aakkoinThose people I listed are major role models, and I'm sure the Aaron Kyro's and John Hills are too. And there are small time skaters that I bet are role models too that kids look up to. There are police officers who skate, old men and women who skate, and young children who skate better than you or me probably. And when skateboarding hits the Olympics, you better believe they will become role models too.
You'd never need that much for personal use? Tom Penny and Chad Muska couldn't get through like a half ounce to an ounce of weed? (You said 30×.5 gs) Pretty sure they could.
Bruh I ran thru a half ounce in a whole weekend for my 25th bday lol. And re up'd that monday for another half lol. Some folks just are square to the core 🤦🏿♂️
Why the hate on Muska flips?. That’s the only way I can do fs flips. It’s how I learned them. I don’t think it’s any harder to do them down stairs or gaps than a regular fs flip.
One time Muska came to my dump of a home town and shredded a demo.

Muska's front side flip is sick, so much better than "todays"... It's basically a hardflip fs 180.
Is that censorship sound Biz Markie from the song Body Rock from the Muskabeatz cd?

been hoping for this for a long time now thank you for the hard work man!
You're actually pretty handsome

@@devinkk Chad's are alpha males with blonde hair basically. You know , the jock preppy guy with the sports car? That's a Chad lol
Never doubt the muska he was a ripper to the max
Muska flips look better, the board moves like a hardflip but with the rotation.
Speaking of footage from “Welcome to Hell” featuring Chad Muska, here’s this music video that features bails from that movie: th-cam.com/video/2dy7Cg36qfY/w-d-xo.html
And now he's old, broke, and drives a prius. Long live The Muska!
WE LOVE THE MUSKA AND WE LOVE RAD RAT
It's almost as if skaterboarders are not the greatest role models
Tony Hawk, Daewon Song, Rodney Mullen, and Modern Day Muska are all great role models
@@undisclosedsteve6361 Tom Penny 🤑 sure skaters can be inspiring, but I think they are first and foremost skaters, and not life coaches. They sure are characters.
@@aakkoinThose people I listed are major role models, and I'm sure the Aaron Kyro's and John Hills are too. And there are small time skaters that I bet are role models too that kids look up to. There are police officers who skate, old men and women who skate, and young children who skate better than you or me probably. And when skateboarding hits the Olympics, you better believe they will become role models too.
@@undisclosedsteve6361 🤘💀🤘
@@aakkoin Exactly!
Shorty's is, was and always will be the best decks. That shits got pop! SHORTY'S 4 LIFE !!
Haha the way you introduced the vid was hilarious!
Just like Bam i hope he is doing okay to this day, his skating was such an inspiration to me as a kid
Yeah I seen him in a interview recently and he lives sober. I think it was Chris Rabb's podcast.
He's doing fine much better than bam 😎🤘
Follow him on IG, hes got alot going on and is living sober.
3 yr update he a chicken farmer in Ohio now.
You'd never need that much for personal use? Tom Penny and Chad Muska couldn't get through like a half ounce to an ounce of weed? (You said 30×.5 gs) Pretty sure they could.
Bruh I ran thru a half ounce in a whole weekend for my 25th bday lol. And re up'd that monday for another half lol. Some folks just are square to the core 🤦🏿♂️
Why the hate on Muska flips?. That’s the only way I can do fs flips. It’s how I learned them. I don’t think it’s any harder to do them down stairs or gaps than a regular fs flip.
