Why Did Muska Quit Shortys?

[@average_weenis]

Muska, still with a backpack 20 years later. HERO

[@larrytwotimes2097]

Its never been taken off

I skated with a backpack because of him

[@gregoryhauserman5927]

More backpack than man nowadays

[@josephpossanza5022]

Muska was so much bigger then skateboarding at one point. Its crazy to think how popular he really became. And this was all before social media and all of that shit. Muska was and will always be a legend and pioneer in skateboarding.

[@louisesaintmartine2320]

Even non-skaters knew the name

[@ivaerak]

Pioneer of WHAT lol. Perhaps of carrying unnecessary large backpacks and giant headphones and boomboxes while ollieing? I don't get it and I'm glad it died out. That phase in skateboarding was pure jock athlete attrocity.

[@seanwilks7712]

erak Preach brother! And why he STILL wearing one? He doesn’t even skate anymore. Makes me think he peaked in the 90s.

Skating in the 90s was definitely THEE shit. I would do anything to go back

Skating in the 80's killed the early & mid 90's. The 80's had everybody skating in more of a counterculture scene, not mainstream, but with real identity I went to UCSB in 93, so these guys were around

[@TheBroLounge]

@@JointFive 80s was mostly ramp and pool skating. Probably was more genuine because in the 90s the hood/rap influence started to happen. The early-mid 90s was still pretty cool.

[@TheOne-fe8wk]

I’m 35 and I skated from around the age of 13 - 15, not long at all. Fulfill the dream was a video that had such an impact on me I still think about it every so often. I became a rap fan around the same time and still am now. It was such a big part of all of that. What an incredible video. It signified the end of the 90s and was a coming of age thing for me. Classic video

[@knowgood4206]

I still rock skytops

[@jaehx7805]

Shortys was my shit. I got Fulfill the dreams on VHS I wanna say like 1998 (Whenever it came out, can;t remember) , Me and my homies watched it every morning before we went and skated all day. Every damn day n night. I was pretty poor and from the str8 up hood but we always found ways to make skrilla to get our own shit if our parents couldn't supply it. Had the backpack, shoes n all. Shortys was what gave me my fuel to keep going in skateboarding. Fulfill the dreams will always be my favorite movie of movies! Thanks for that Chad, It was and still is a huge part of my life and who I am today!

[@youngboyharless9769]

Met muska years ago probably in 06'.. he was cool af. I still have the picture, I just said "Muska" he looked over and threw up some rock horns 🤘 and I got a picture of him 😂 I think he genuinely loved skateboarding and his fans. Those early 2000s were the best ❤️

[@SKATERHATER25]

Justin Reyes EXACTLY. Dude needs to shut up

[@ambientjohnny]

Exactly this. Crob's constant and TOTALLY unnecessary repetitive comments and constant misinterpreting of where something is going etc. made me stop listening to the Nine Club... Did try for a bit with the Muska episode though, but christ, he says the same fucking things every episode when he doesn't need to say anything, there's no need to feign interest like that, and he derails guests' train of thought so often it got too much in the end... Once again, shouting at the sky, why interupt guests, with 100% unnecessary comments that always fuck up the flow of the conversation... 159 episodes and no self-reflection. Sad.

[@spacecaserecords1204]

I skated the Venice Pit and went to the street gap (the one Rick Howard 360 flips in Mouse) later that day, sometime around 1998. My friend Stu rode for Society Skateboards and Grind King, later on for ATM Click. He was trying to switch heel the street gap -- he was stomping them -- and Muska was there hyping him on like he was part of his crew. Muska was/remains such a good dude. By the way, Victor Fonosch, who Kelly and Muska briefly talk about, was really talented. He wasn't in the spotlight for very long, but all the footage he put out was strong. He could hold noseslides for miles.
