Why Chad Muska Got Kicked Off Toy Machine 

muska looks like he's gonna ask to copy your homework

It doesn’t matter what year it is, Muska still looks like he’s dressed for high school.

I wasn't sure at first if Muska's headphones were for the podcast, or one of his accessories.

Chad Muska. The only guy to wear a back pack on his wedding day

this mfr is his THPS character everyday

I think it’d actually be hard to sit in a chair with a backpack on for over 3 hours

Pretty sure Muska dies if he removes the backpack like it's some sort of Ironman suit keeping him alive.

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.

I love these podcasts because it really puts the puzzle together of Skateboardings history. Chad Muska is such an Icon.

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”

Some would say that muska has fulfilled the dream.

Still remember when he pulled up to the hood on me and Eric

Im surprised he isnt carrying a boombox on his shoulder for the entire interview

"still waiting to wake up sitting on the curb" very well said follow your dreams everybody.

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

This episode is so so legendary. A Muska interview is rare, let alone 3+ hours

Muska was the reason why I started skating when I was 9 in 1998

Those are just the straps, no backpack lol

His shoes lasted forever. The PVC coated toe was brilliant

Used to play as Chad Muska or Rodney Mullen, exclusively, in the old Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. Dudes a legend

Shortys was dope in their prime in the late 90s

who else owned those Osiris D3's back in the day? Shoes were huge but loved them.

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.

This dude really still out here wearing a damn backpack lol.

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."

Who remembers looking at maple skate boards in their older siblings ccs catalogs?

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

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.

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.

He doesn't remember when he turned pro, but he remembered he had a bottle of goldschlager in his hand at the cancelled premier

Do you know what he keeps inside the backpack? i heard it's a spare backpack and headphones

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.

He just needs the blue jersey and boom nostalgia summer 97

Muska looks like an early 2000’s high school movie character.

This guy gave me a skateboard in New Jersey and told me merry Christmas

There’s 3 things for certain in life: death, taxes, and Muska leaving the house wit a backpack and headphones on

You just earned my sub in the first 60 seconds and first episode I’ve seen of yours. Awesome content and guests, from a former skater. And still ride around casual now!

20 yrs later i'm still asking wtf is up with this guy and backpacks

Thumbs up if you want Tom Penny on the next show.

“Muska chillin chillin!”

His backpack is full of snacks like Randy Wagstaff.

Saw the thumbnail and thought “dude is STILL wearing that backpack??”

Jesus dude, you can set down your backpack. Nobody is going to steal the joints and potato chips you keep in there.

Of course I gave it a thumbs up it's an interview with Chad the Man Wow Awesome video!

When’s the t shirt with the built in backpack coming out

Love that Chad always has his skate bag on ready for a session 🙂

My favorite character at THUG 1.. Yo' Merry Christmas.

Legends talking legendary happenings.

I love how he still rocks the backpack during the interview

Does he dress like his Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 character the whole time?

Chad has become so humble in his later years!

Chad was the man that of my early skate days and this story is crazy

Haven't been watching the Nine Club in a hot minute, but I'd love to see Ed on here at some point.

I would love to have seen Muska skate for Zero.

Muska needs to come out with the Muska Boombox Backpack yo

That was always the rumor, he just confirmed it all, except the part where he punched Templeton

This is like the true intro 2 full fill the dream!

Ed asked him to Jump Off a Building. The Muska said, "no thanks, that sounds like a Welcome to Hell." The rest is history.

lights out geurilla radio!!!

Chad Muska was my favorite skater in Tony Hawk! His swag

Dude I love Chad Muska... He's my inspiration to keep skateboarding !

Muska on Flip woulda been crazy as fuckk.

Muska seems like the guy that pretends to be your best friend when he hears your gonna go smoke a blunt

this guy brought fun to skateboarding so rad living the dream having fun pure freedom. not industry just legit dude.

Some say The Muska sleeps with his backpack on.

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

Chad Muska fueled my passion for skateboarding, a love that I still share to this day and have passed on to my son.

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.

That goldschlagger is black out fluid for sure. Been there!

Bro! To see Muska on Flip would have been amazing!!!!!!

nobdy offered him to place his backpack down?

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

Amazing story

Muska looking like he's still in thug 1

Amazing!! He still sports a Backpack!!

Muska’s Rising Sun was my first deck. Then I got it in green.

Got kicked off for improper frontside flips

The Law of Attraction as being described by Chad Muska.

2:33 that man crush look is legit!!! MUSKA!

Muskas a legend I remember his shoes with the hidden weed pocket

He looks like the kinda guy that once had a Muskalade but now drives a prius.

Muska on Flip wit Penny woulda been soooo dope

Muska; A legend.

“I can’t explain it” after explaining it.

Still wearing a backpack even sitting in the chair lololol

They need to get Ed Templeton on the 9 STAT.

goddamn, we are witnessing some skateboarding history class. my fav history class.

Musks looks like if there was a movie about a THPS 2 character got stuck in the real world. 😅

what a legend🙂

He hasn’t changed since the 90’s.

Chad Muska was the first pro skater I remember.

Love watching these. Takes me back!!

Chad was outside before the interview with those headphones on his head

I remember once I got that drunk like I didn’t know what happened at all just fragments I feel him

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

This dude grew up in a back pack lol love the muska
