Watching this in 2023 you can see how powerful and burly a skater Muska was. Dude was a beast in a time when most people were trying to be super smooth.
The way Muska man handles handrails in this video was groundbreaking at the time. Why compare it to the skating of today? Appreciate it for what it was then. I still see guys who dress and (attempt to) skate like Muska and that speaks volumes. The guy is a legend of skateboarding.
robbie tarnay dude I was gonna post a comment saying the exact same thing! so I'll say this instead, Watching chad muska skate, BACK THEN, was like hearing rock n roll for the first time. it was fucking witchcraft!
Love all these old skaters, each had such a distinct style. Skating has progressed so much since then that it can start to look a bit mechanical among pros and a tre flip is a tre flip is a tre flip. Back in the dizz,e you could see that Muska 50-50. It's just a 50-50 but the way he stands up nearly perfectly straight, feet move very little from the ollie up onto the rail. A distinct personal style. Like Andrew Reynolds with fs flips -- lots of people can fs flip, but the way the long legs would suck the board up under him made it his. It's like playing a jazz standard; everyone technically plays the same song, but then you hear that one band just absolutely kill it. Every little movement is perfect
This was so rad back when it first came out. These old videos have so much nostalgia. Man those were the days. Skating for 8 hrs a day all over town. Crazy how far it's come. Still dream about skating even though I only skate with my dog now haha.
That original shorty's team was the personification of 90s skateboarding. I don't think we will ever have a peak like that again. That's when style and persona trumped all the robotic technical shit that's become skateboarding.
Couldn’t agree with you anymore✊ I remember being a little as kid watching older kids and guys probably in their early 20’s skateboarding 🛹 in front of my building and fell in love the lifestyle. Great Memories
I remember becoming a skater in 1995 and lived through this era as a teenager in the 90s. Unbelievable times to be involved with skateboarding for sure.
goestovalium11 Yeh smolik had the sickest style. the days when a lot of pros where doing kick flip backside tail slide shove it out. that pose doing the board slide down the handrail was classic. I had the brown/orangish looking muska board and that shit really did have pop
A true OG when it comes to building your own brand. Muska and Shorty's were the controversial side of skating and brought that street edge to the game back then. True pioneers
nwmxrider Youre right, it was a nice time in the 90's. I have a brand new pair from kareem campbell's axion nutek in my collection...pure skateboard sneaker history
Muska: hey, ima ollie down these three huge ass sets, all in a row! filemer: you should do it with no shirt on! that way if you fall you'll skin yourself raw! Muska: hell yeah dude
Friend of mine who introduced me circa 2002 to sk8boarding, linkin park and other heavier music and extreme sports, i remember him showing me this exact Chad Muska vid. RIP dude you inspired me a lot.
that day was awsome and the forst go having to leap frog a 4 year old at the last second before comming off the rail then going back and doing it again flawless that was style fuck ya what up WR with all my boys in back ground brings back memories RIP dallas
It's crazy to think about how much fun you had in the late 90s, rolling as a group from spot to spot, finding spots from videos, eating blueberry muffins and chocolate milk... holy shit those were good times
@@Lifaceyeah but the kids coming up now don’t do that. Sure some do but the majority of them just skate a parks and complain about little scooter kids when they can be in the streets.
Chad muska had one of the best skate dawg styles I’ve ever seen. Almost like cartoon esque like that goofy movie where he’s just shredding lol but he was also one of the coolest of his time.
Met chad in south africa around 98 i think it was. Such an awesome guy down to earth smoking buds with locals under the ramps. He also had serious balls, skating FAST & big no fear proper OG skater
this was my shit back in like 7th grade. I'd watch this part everyday after school to get pumped to go out and skate. crazy how far skating has come since this.
I'm 28 now. There was something about that time in my life that has always given me an advantage. The advantage to know how to push yourself, to overcome fear, to be creative. Skating has saved lifes no doubt
LEGEND!!!! Damn I wish I could get a pair of those grey ES muskas. Those are probably extinct by now.. Luckily es reissued the accel last winter. Rockin those now. Best shoes ever. And the muska deck was my all time favorite board. We're getting old!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
Haha. Did all his models have that? I didn't think I ever had the ES muskas but I looked them up when you said stash pocket cause I remembered that shit. Mine were the circa muskas though.
This never and will never get old, awesome stuff, I remember when this came out I was just a kid now over my 30’s and it still very enjoyable to watch.
The intro to this is so good, so smooth… the style… the vibe! I remember seeing this back in 1998 thinking this guy is the definition of smooth and chill. Ahhh the 90s skater...I miss those days.
Muska is one of the greats that brought a whole new vibe to the public skate scene. He is a legend and this is such an amazing video jus for the style it brought to the scene
This part is/was historic. One of those parts u don’t forget. Like So many I remember from the 90s when skating leaped forward. The magic I felt when skating in the mid to late 90s in my hometown in San Francisco it’s hard to really explain. Special times.
Muska was my boy back in the day! It was about 2003 or 2004 when I got the red Muska deck and I was so syked. It was for my birthday or Christmas or something and I found it - I would try to sneak it out at night and try to do a kickflip or something with it before sneaking it back to its hiding place before my parents caught me. Ah good times!
He brought skateboarding to the Top. He was so influential, A whole movement of skaters! city stars along with Kareem, Reynolds, Steamer, and the Chocolate Crew! RIP Keenan, Shane and all skate legends!
unbeatable swag man muska was the definition of cool. for those looking for his thps1 character outfit and special trick "ghetto blastin" its at 5:41 also the thps2 school house big kink rail is at 6:51
Crazy good. I never got to see much Muska footage growing up, I always thought he was more of a hype man than a pro. How wrong I was; he deserved every bit of the attention he got.
That's incredible. I can't believe that dude is doing these insane tricks, while skateboarding with a heavy backpack full of stuff and carrying a boom box at the same time. Oh my gosh. This video is awesome
5:55 the old wedge before it became a full skate park. i remember seeing chad muska show up there occasionally and all the kids would gather around. good times
don't know why YT show me now this part 11 years later xD damn watched the old skatevideos so often at this time when i'm skate activ, good old times :)
Funny story... When I was around 13 Chad Muska was my hero. I remember asking Dad if I could change my name to Chad and he laughed and thought it was ridiculous. He still reminds me about it and I'm now 37 😂😂🤦
Miss these days. No fb no cell phones. Just bunch of friends hanging out and skating.

nah u thinking of Koston.
@@westsyde_LAnah I'm not, I'm talking boombox
lol growing up I always wanted to be the guy with the boombox
What you don't realize is this guy fostered a culture of hip hop and skateboarding. They're now and always will be one.
One of my fav skateboarders. Always used his character when I played THPS when I was in high school
The crooked grind down the railing w/ the boom box has to be one of the most iconic 90’s grinds, that sht just smacks nostalgia right in your face
5:42 🥲 Love to Muska thanks for the childhood memories 🙏🏼
I had to come search this video just for that clip
100% cringe 🤣
That original shorty's team was the personification of 90s skateboarding. I don't think we will ever have a peak like that again. That's when style and persona trumped all the robotic technical shit that's become skateboarding.

shut up. You lost all credibility once you try shit on new age skating. Shit evolves. Move on pussy.

crazy to think that this is "old school" when this shit was so goddamned hype to me growing up.
+Nic Griffin yeah and he as sooooo new school....
i mean smolik and penny are damn oldschool^^
+Nic Griffin its funny when people are like "muska sucks". Muska was the Nyja/Sheckler/Malto of the 90s.
+Tighty Mimbers I mean... if you're old, that's how time works ;P

Now we have cameras and editing equipment on phones to get rid of everything in the background which is a crying shame.

I just bought a fresh red one like 2 years ago just for the wall, best memories

Probably one of the most influential skaters to surface the earth.
He was do relatable, original and big. He was true to his team and showed skating as a culture, he's the definition of influential

And 6:05

Greatest part of all time
It'll haunt me forever that I never got a pair of those grey/white/royal blue Muska es shoes. These were the days. A legend in skateboarding.
I had those! Cost like $100, had a hidden "stash" pocket in the tongue. Awesome. .

The Gonz rail. He boardslid that thing for the first time wayyyyy back in the day.

It is best if when you start out, you carry a boom box when you learn to ollie. It gives you more pop in the long run.
great compay segundo from Cuba!!!
The film had so much hype coming out. Good ol days.
Anos 90 ele era uns dos melhores extremamente radical
Thought I was the coolest dude on the block with my S HORTY' S hoodie. This brought back so many memories.
Back to my days. Big Shoes, all baggy clothes, no Karen's and crazy Times with my board. I miss that.
I remember looking up to this guy as a kid in the 90's. He had style in the way he skated. Rodney Mullen was another favorite, very technical.
Wow.....this take me back to when I used to order shoe snd clothes from the little CCS catalogs!!
5:42 crooked grind down a handrail with a boombox and a backpack!? That's ridiculous
That was not ridiculous, it was a special trick in tony hawk pro skater ;)
Eveeybody kbow him...nobody know you.
That was his style... The one and only, Chad Muska!
It's a nod to when he was legit homeless and would shred around w/ his pack and jambox ...
Chad Muska is the man. Loved watching his epically later'd and his nine club interview. Seriously such an inspiring dude.
So many classic skate spots on this video!!!
They became classic after this footage
Please, if you haven't, go watch the whole video Fulfill the Dream, it is such a classic.
Ohhh yes Chad Muska and the Wu Tang Clan. Brings back so many memories of my childhood in Denmark :) :)
he pulled some amazing shit back in the day.
Yeah, he was already legendary even back then when he was still young af.
This beat has more problems than my last marriage
2:50 that out of sync drum comes and things really go south, like my future marriage will.
I'm pretty sure this is the first beat he made he mentioned that on the nine club
yeah that ride cymbal is fucked. i never noticed it when i was a kid but now i'm a music douche, lol
Still a catchy beat. It has a style that matches Muska’s persona.
just when u thought the beat was over lmao it randomly comes back in 6:35 😭😂
Holy shit, I remember watching this when I was a kid on a VHS. Muska's boards were sold in local skate shops here in Czechia back then.
Chad Muska was always my favorite and still is! Always chose him in all the THPS!!
Pioneer and a legend. Muska was way ahead of his time with the bangers he threw down.
5:55 the old wedge before it became a full skate park. i remember seeing chad muska show up there occasionally and all the kids would gather around. good times
Muska is like a movie character 😂😂
He can probably get away from anything on that skateboard
Chad Muska is the 90s
What a blast from the past! Grew up watching this dude, plus I loved his Muska Beatz. He has such a cool chill style.
Something about the way he’s skates is just different!
Still one of my fav. parts !!
Muska is king
don't know why YT show me now this part 11 years later xD damn watched the old skatevideos so often at this time when i'm skate activ, good old times :)
Hell yea muska was the shit i always loved him in that scene tony hawk underground with his hydraulic escalade and speakers bumpn hahah
man that boombox surely brings the 90s back :')
that was beautiful and flawless skating. No disrespect to the current generation, but those guys in the 90s were fire.
dude can ollie....and great style
and that bike cop sucks
He's all good bro it's his job.
Funny story... When I was around 13 Chad Muska was my hero. I remember asking Dad if I could change my name to Chad and he laughed and thought it was ridiculous. He still reminds me about it and I'm now 37 😂😂🤦
That's such a sweet and hilarious anecdote
Crazy. if you sent this vid in to get sponsored in 2021 they would say... NO lol
Muska was a savage back in the day. One of my all time fav skaters.
This is nostalgia. Used to watch this on VHS when I was skating as a kid. Awesome.
