theMisfit81 but he’s in his element. You can tell that he enjoys his time on the Nine Club immensely... I bet he stood up at the end and had even more energy than at the beginning of the podcast.
Him not removing the backpack in this video reminds me of what always made me dislike Muska. I always dug his skating, don't get me wrong. But he always seemed to be too much into 'image'. He was always putting on a show or trying to portray himself a certain way. It was and is very childish and foolish. There was the boombox...then all of the wigger crap. Killer skater...but very foolish, for the lack of a better word.
Around 2002-03 I had a buddy who had connections and knew ppl connected to shortys. I was lucky enough to tag along to trips to the shortys warehouse skatepark. It was sick even hit the bong on top of the high ramp(there was a couch n shit up there). I never saw chad there tho, which I always wished I had.
Chad Muska, single handedly got me on a Board ... I literally played Tony Hawk Pro Skater, used Muska and fell in love with his style. I ran right out and got a board and followed Chad as close as I could (Before internet was a real thing)... love this guy. Great heart, great guy and AMAZING Skater
Yes! You wanna know the secret? BELIEVE you can do it. If you believe it with everything you've got, it will either come true or at least steer you down a path that can be even better than you can imagine. Positive thinking coupled with action can fulfill dreams.
I got that DVD set they're talking about, bought it the day it came to my local skateshop back in 2003. here's what the easter egg says on the DVD regarding muska: "Chad Muska filmed almost an entire section with Jamie Thomas for "Welcome to Hell." The filming was cut short by a plague of injuries, nonetheless Chad had the last part in the original version of Welcome to Hell with plans to follow it up with another full section shortly after. In May of 1996 just minutes before the video was scheduled to be laid to tape the computer that "Welcome to Hell" was edited on crashed, causing the world premiere in San Diego to be canceled. This was a huge disappointment for everyone involved. In common celebration fashion, Chad was really drunk and the news hit him the hardest. A dead end argument ended with Chad and Toy Machine parting ways. Although most of his footage ended up in the TSA video with a few of his gnarliest tricks going to the first Shorty's video, his part was never seen in it's entirety. This is the first time Chad's original part as it would have been in the video has ever been shown. It has spent the last 7 years in Jamie's video archive. I would like to extend a serious thanks to Jamie Thomas and Chad Muska for making this section possible for the DVD. This is an anomaly of skate video history and we are putting it out for the fans. enjoy. ed templeton."
His shoes were the gift that kept on giving. No cop ever thought to unzip your shoe tongue and find an 8th and $500.….still waiting for you when you get out of jail the next day.
@@phlooke Lie. If you went to jail, they’d have found the stash spot. Maybe not quickly on the street but you’re full of shit if you think you’d make it through a night in jail without them being checked. If it was overnight, they most likely never booked you, nor took off your shoes.
Legendary. One of my favorite Nine Club podcast. I started skating in 96' when he was transitioning to riding for Shorty's skateboard. My first vid ever on VHS also was Toy Machine "Welcome To Hell" and it was legendary. That vid will always be embedded in my memory as well as Mouse and Trilogy in the beginning stages of my skating. Thanks to The Nine Club for this great pod, getting to hear the Muska on this was so good.
I also started back in 96. Till the early 2000s. Skating had a huge impact on my life and will forever be a part of me. Although I no longer skate I’m still down with the culture.
@@donniedarkko422 yeah I'm from Long Beach and came up w/ Scott Kane, Darrell Stanton, and all the LBC dudes. They were going AM when I gave it up. I started back up in 04' and was going hard for a few years. I'll always love skating and starting back up. 35 but still feel good.
Those were like circas first show ever. I remember everyone hated the style and the pocket was the only cool Thing about them. Now I had the Peter smolik Osiris wit the Velcro back for the matching TSA pants to stick to so they wouldn’t get all torn when skating. I wish I had those shoes, I still have the box they came in. It was the artwork from his shortys board. (Dice and pig head)
There was a mystic thing about skating when I first started in middle school(mid 2000s).I appreciated it so much the videos were so dope. Now There's amazing clips everywhere not the same feeling.
I first started in the late 90's as a 9th grader and back then the only thjng you really had at all were magazines or videos. Skating got really really huge because of THPS1, which Muska here just teleported from
CinemaJohn missing the ghetto blaster. I met him in London about 8 years ago, told him how my first new deck was the red Shorty’s one and then I asked him where his ghetto blaster was 🤣 Visted NY a year later and saw him riding up a road on his bike as I were cruising down on my board and he waved at me!
That would be be pretty wicked, if ya watch Bam's episode he tells a couple stories about Tom Penny that are pretty cool if ya haven't watched it already
I remember Tom Penny visiting Milton Keynes, I skated all day every day back then I was so stoked to see him, he rocked up white as a ghost, got out the van, rolled to a bench, sat for about 20 minutes texting then went back to his van and we never saw him again. From what I heard from the pro locals he was just partying hard the whole time, I was really gutted to be honest. A few months later the Blind team were in town and those guys skated hard for like 6 hours straight, James Craig was awesome.
The only people that think it's real are the ones that have been successful, the 99% that it doesn't work for? Ahhh they must have just not believed hard enough!
My waxed kr3w jeans were the greatest pair of jeans I ever spent 40$ for and only pair I had that weren't Levi's, I forever fuck with muska, people making comments about his swag but he changed skateboarding fashion forever, I'll always remember rocking my black kr3w tee with the white logo back in 2007 in middle school when no one knew wtf it was super rare, like even people that knew muska didn't know what it was
I remember groups of kids in HS almost self segregating between the tech shorties style skaters and the kids that dressed and wore zero and baker etc. Pretty funny looking back because it was like you were one or the other
Chad muska had a contest in CCS and I had won it and got to go skate with him. Coolest dude ever. Went home and couple days later he sent me a signed signature shoe. They were black and yellow with the stash pocket in the tongues. Hooked me up with a bunch of shorty t shirts and stickers.
When I was younger, I didn't like Muska at all. I'm a metalhead, and he's into hip-hop, so idk if it was just the looks, or the attitude or what, but I just didn't like him. Many years later, im now 40, and im watching all these videos, hearing him talk about his life, his career, meeting with the thps crew years later and being so thankful to Tony Hawk for including him in the game, and being thankful and humble in general... I gotta say it changed my mind on him, completely. He seems like a really nice dude.
Muska got kicked off Toy Machine because he was drunk and stepped up to Jamie and Ed? Lmao fuck them. Muska was good enough to do so, he was just too young at the time to realize he was being used and then thrown away.
Yo,Chad Muska lived in Las Vegas .. he used to be a tagger he wrote" FILA" from "SAcrew" he still had a landmark running from 92' on Flamingo......I grew up w JEILS N ALDO.....ROTS OFA!
muska looks like he's gonna ask to copy your homework
Chris Moran lmfaooo
Always lmao. Hello fellow students!
Cause he spent his time learning tricks not homework haaa
I'm dead
he got the "bro" accent
It doesn’t matter what year it is, Muska still looks like he’s dressed for high school.
The look is timeless. He's both ahead and behind of his time.
Wait take off the cap im 40 this yr im bald.or maybe i age bad 😆
its the backpack
@theblueengineer1 that went right over your head my friend. That was not the point. Unless you're being captain obvious...
I can't believe how young he looks.
I wasn't sure at first if Muska's headphones were for the podcast, or one of his accessories.
Honestly though im still not even sure
No one can be sure.
Dude. Ha ha ha ha. I just assumed he had his beats playing the entire time! So funny.
Bro I thought the same
lol honestly that's some shit he would rock lmao... but they all are wearing identical headsets soooo yeaa...it's for the podcast
this mfr is his THPS character everyday
His THPS character was based off him. the dudes a goofy character for sure.
Sorry but what’s THPS?
@@iphishy5484 Tony Hawks pro skater
Lol!
Fishy Mc Fish Man get tf out of here
Chad Muska. The only guy to wear a back pack on his wedding day
😂
I think it’d actually be hard to sit in a chair with a backpack on for over 3 hours
that was my first thought, it was strange 25 years ago, with 40+ its even weirder.
theMisfit81 but he’s in his element. You can tell that he enjoys his time on the Nine Club immensely... I bet he stood up at the end and had even more energy than at the beginning of the podcast.
Weenie
He’s got orthopedic pillows in it for his bad back
Colin Wood damn for real? I might need me some of those 💀
I love these podcasts because it really puts the puzzle together of Skateboardings history. Chad Muska is such an Icon.
@Black Devil Yeah that sums him up right? No it doesn't dumbass. Who are you?
Yea I’m glad I grew up at that time and was heavy into skating before Instagram ruined skate videos and street league and big companies took over
Pretty sure Muska dies if he removes the backpack like it's some sort of Ironman suit keeping him alive.
I think the headphones keep his brain from falling out of his ears.
I always knew he was a cyborg
Spaghettaboutit or a turtle with its shell
Its filled with energy cells. He can survive without the pack but his strength is reduced to a normal human. It must be recharged once a week
Him not removing the backpack in this video reminds me of what always made me dislike Muska. I always dug his skating, don't get me wrong. But he always seemed to be too much into 'image'. He was always putting on a show or trying to portray himself a certain way. It was and is very childish and foolish. There was the boombox...then all of the wigger crap.

Still remember when he pulled up to the hood on me and Eric
Extremely underrated comment
yes indeed, extremely underrated comment
best game of all time
"Muska, chillin' chillin'."
Whoa, Chad Muska? I'm a huge fan!
Muska wearing same outfit as he in tony hawks skateboarding 2 is EPIC
Stoked he showed me his Cadillac Escalade, when the sound system went off he said “it’s louder than a Metallica concert in there”
Dude...he gave me his skateboard because i had a ghetto ride xD super nice dude!

Some would say that muska has fulfilled the dream.
including a dip in Paris
"still waiting to wake up sitting on the curb" very well said follow your dreams everybody.
Yes! You wanna know the secret? BELIEVE you can do it. If you believe it with everything you've got, it will either come true or at least steer you down a path that can be even better than you can imagine. Positive thinking coupled with action can fulfill dreams.
And I'm here wishing that would happen. Let me wake up and be 16 lol
Man has the nuclear codes, the Queen's crown jewels, and a 20-pack of pre-rolled joints in that backpack. He cannot take it off.
.. dont forget the parachute and narcan 😂
@@DonAltopio Safety is important in this life. 🤣
who else owned those Osiris D3's back in the day? Shoes were huge but loved them.
Used to play as Chad Muska or Rodney Mullen, exclusively, in the old Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. Dudes a legend

Yo, is this Bobby Worrest from Krooked? 😳😳
@@From96TilDeathperhaps
Im surprised he isnt carrying a boombox on his shoulder for the entire interview
Lol, blasting muskabeatz.
Muska was the reason why I started skating when I was 9 in 1998
Whoa I was 9 in 1998 but it was short lived
I started because of mullen but fell in love it with because of muskas style
Those are just the straps, no backpack lol
Or its a Special Kind of seatbelt for the Musk
This episode is so so legendary. A Muska interview is rare, let alone 3+ hours
Shortys was dope in their prime in the late 90s
Yea peter smolik !!! Shortys was dope.
Where are all the mad brands and clothes gone ?
The hipsters who couldn’t skate ,took over haaa
T’s Life bro is miss Droors, DUB, planet Earth
His shoes lasted forever. The PVC coated toe was brilliant

John Carter las nuevas vidas de paco(chocolate/girl) was the one that did it for me ..misled youth was dope too..
Do you know what he keeps inside the backpack? i heard it's a spare backpack and headphones
Ounce of grass and a bong I bet
Just a spare backpack and a ghetto blaster
I still got a Muska rising sun (blue) shortys complete hanging in the garage and my son's signed shortys hat hanging on the rack. Good times.
Nice !!!!
Ive got my red one!!!
I got my blue one also!! Brandon turner was always my fav tho!
This dude really still out here wearing a damn backpack lol.
Who remembers looking at maple skate boards in their older siblings ccs catalogs?
First Name Angel I always bugged my pops for a blank deck because he thought the name brand completes were way too expensive.
@@venomninja30 my dad made me go to copelands. Wish they had them around still.
@@firstnameangel6841 damn, I actually loved those old CBS blank decks. TY for taking me back to my 20s for a minute :)
Haha I had the Muska shoes with the stash spot and everything! This dude was definitely a huge influence on our group back in the late '90s
The stash spot on the toungue
Those were like circas first show ever. I remember everyone hated the style and the pocket was the only cool

@4Thug2Life0 the éS muskas, which I also had, came first and also had a tongue stash spot
20 yrs later i'm still asking wtf is up with this guy and backpacks
His backpack has a backpack inside of it, and another inside of that backpack, another and so forth
Just livin' that backpack life yo
He originally had it with him because he was some what homeless for a bit so her carried his belongings with him. He stated that on interview
Thata where Chad hides his siamese twin
@Robert Craig Backpackin' ya Dad.
He doesn't remember when he turned pro, but he remembered he had a bottle of goldschlager in his hand at the cancelled premier
There was a mystic thing about skating when I first started in middle school(mid 2000s).I appreciated it so much the videos were so dope. Now There's amazing clips everywhere not the same feeling.

I feel like Muska has annual backpack transplants due to the original melding with his skin.
the skateboard industry is mad senstive, that's a fact.
Muska looks like an early 2000’s high school movie character.
Does he dress like his Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 character the whole time?

They modelled the characters off what they wear ?! THPS wasn’t the beginning of skateboarding lol he would have dressed like that forever.
He just needs the blue jersey and boom nostalgia summer 97
Muska looking like he's still in thug 1
I would love to have seen Muska skate for Zero.
There’s 3 things for certain in life: death, taxes, and Muska leaving the house wit a backpack and headphones on
Thumbs up if you want Tom Penny on the next show.
That would be be pretty wicked, if ya watch Bam's episode he tells a couple stories about Tom Penny that are pretty cool if ya haven't watched it already
I dont think tom penny is allowed back in the states
Jens Lorbeer for real, Tom penny so naturally gifted and smooth love watching him skate

His backpack is full of snacks like Randy Wagstaff.
This guy gave me a skateboard in New Jersey and told me merry Christmas
That was always the rumor, he just confirmed it all, except the part where he punched Templeton
Saw the thumbnail and thought “dude is STILL wearing that backpack??”
Legends talking legendary happenings.
When’s the t shirt with the built in backpack coming out
Chad Muska was my favorite skater in Tony Hawk! His swag
Chad has become so humble in his later years!
Jesus dude, you can set down your backpack. Nobody is going to steal the joints and potato chips you keep in there.
“Muska chillin chillin!”
this guy brought fun to skateboarding so rad living the dream having fun pure freedom. not industry just legit dude.
I love how he still rocks the backpack during the interview
The Law of Attraction as being described by Chad Muska.
100%! I have lived a similar life and my dreams have come true and it keeps growing. You just gotta believe with everything you've got.
The only people that think it's real are the ones that have been successful, the 99% that it doesn't work for? Ahhh they must have just not believed hard enough!
Chad Muska fueled my passion for skateboarding, a love that I still share to this day and have passed on to my son.
nobdy offered him to place his backpack down?
The 1997-2003 era of Muska was crazy. Good old days. I fucking love Chad dude
Muska needs to come out with the Muska Boombox Backpack yo
This reminds me of 8th grade
He has one it's a Shorty's back pack or Osiris ..it has speakers on the side look it up no joke
Muska on Flip woulda been crazy as fuckk.
*yup*
they hit so extremely hard
Love that Chad always has his skate bag on ready for a session 🙂
Haven't been watching the Nine Club in a hot minute, but I'd love to see Ed on here at some point.
Muska’s Rising Sun was my first deck. Then I got it in green.
My waxed kr3w jeans were the greatest pair of jeans I ever spent 40$ for and only pair I had that weren't Levi's, I forever fuck with muska, people making comments about his swag but he changed skateboarding fashion forever, I'll always remember rocking my black kr3w tee with the white logo back in 2007 in middle school when no one knew wtf it was super rare, like even people that knew muska didn't know what it was
Everyone talking about the back pack fuck that listen to wut he been through to make it man. Inspiring
That goldschlagger is black out fluid for sure. Been there!
Got kicked off for improper frontside flips
lights out geurilla radio!!!
I remember groups of kids in HS almost self segregating between the tech shorties style skaters and the kids that dressed and wore zero and baker etc. Pretty funny looking back because it was like you were one or the other
I was a Zero kid from '97-2000... Lol I was like "wtf is Baker?". Didn't hear about them until mid-2000's
Same shit as I remember...Even though i live in germany
It was like that 100%
Muska; A legend.

He looks like the kinda guy that once had a Muskalade but now drives a prius.
It's true too lol
My favorite character at THUG 1..
Yo' Merry Christmas.
Of course I gave it a thumbs up it's an interview with Chad the Man Wow Awesome video!
Chad the lad
Every chad muska come with a free complimentary backpack . Order now
Chad muska was my idol growing up his style was so dope. Tnx chad
Shout out to the real backpack boy 🐐OG
They need to get Ed Templeton on the 9 STAT.
word
He will clear up everything that truly happened
YES
Muska over Templeton after this one. I'm extremely sorry about that. Please nobody FLIP out on me ;)
Thabk god it happened and things played out the way they did with shortys
Ed asked him to Jump Off a Building. The Muska said, "no thanks, that sounds like a Welcome to Hell." The rest is history.
He hasn’t changed since the 90’s.
Why does this look like Aaron Carter trying to disguise himself as Chad muska
Some say The Muska sleeps with his backpack on.
Chad was the man that of my early skate days and this story is crazy
When I was younger, I didn't like Muska at all. I'm a metalhead, and he's into hip-hop, so idk if it was just the looks, or the attitude or what, but I just didn't like him.
Many years later, im now 40, and im watching all these videos, hearing him talk about his life, his career, meeting with the thps crew years later and being so thankful to Tony Hawk for including him in the game, and being thankful and humble in general...
I gotta say it changed my mind on him, completely. He seems like a really nice dude.
So why was the premier canceled? Cutting not finished?
Hey there. I also came here to address his backpack
To see that hes still wearing that same back pack from the stair gap on the intro credits for tony hawks pro skater makes me not feel so old
Muska got kicked off Toy Machine because he was drunk and stepped up to Jamie and Ed? Lmao fuck them. Muska was good enough to do so, he was just too young at the time to realize he was being used and then thrown away.
2:33 that man crush look is legit!!! MUSKA!
Muskas a legend I remember his shoes with the hidden weed pocket
Chad Muska was the first pro skater I remember.
This is like the true intro 2 full fill the dream!
Yo,Chad Muska lived in Las Vegas .. he used to be a tagger he wrote" FILA" from "SAcrew" he still had a landmark running from 92' on Flamingo......I grew up w JEILS N ALDO.....ROTS OFA!
Salvador Portillo he wrote Fila fucken crazy I new he did graffiti but never thought he had a name he was writing
eh
That’s some nice history right there bro, didn’t even know that.. Did Chad have styles?
goddamn, we are witnessing some skateboarding history class. my fav history class.
Bro! To see Muska on Flip would have been amazing!!!!!!
Chad was outside before the interview with those headphones on his head
Muska on Flip wit Penny woulda been soooo dope
Watch videoradio
