The Muska

Chad Muska is a legend.

I remember reading an old article in TWS about an SMA tour to Las Vegas, and the guy who wrote couldn't believe this kid they met, a local named Chad. Chad killed it at each and every spot the pros went to the extent that he managed to get a few photos in the mag and his first major sponsor.

Fast forward a bit and sure enough the Muska resurfaces and creates a tidal wave of approval from sponsors and fans alike. For a couple of years, The Muska was selling more boards than anyone else, touring the world, claiming last parts in the top-selling videos and coverage in every magazine. It was the golden years for the young buck from nowhereville.

In true rock 'n' roll fashion, Chad lost the plot a bit and fell off the map so to speak. Boom boxes, getting chased down the street by German fans, dating Paris Hilton, producing an album- Muskabeatz- with some of Hip-Hop's greatest rappers over one week in a hotel suite, skating in Burberry gear... The only person ever to come close to that sort of notoriety was Christian Hosoi, but every generation has their rock star and we've got Chad. It's good to see Chad has regained focus on the one thing that started the wild ride- skateboarding.
