The graphic is epic and hella stupid at the same time.  It has to feel good for the Muska to say that a silhouette of him chillin was the highest selling deck of all time.

I don't mean to troll or hate, but I never understood the appeal of this guy back in the day. I'm not saying he didn't have skills.
I loved that he gave Hosoi respect with the rising sun deck.
It's crazy to think how big this guy was at one time, Damn, I feel old now.

he grinds handrails with boomboxes on his shoulder, a backpack on, aviators on his face, a sweatband on his forehead, rolled up track pants and stash pocket shoes. hes the greatest of all time.

can't believe this, just came from the park and there was a bloke up there with this red muska board, was talking to him about it and he said he hasn't skated in years and this was a board he never used so thought since we just got a new park he would set it up and start skating again....

needless to say all he was skating was a bank and illusion or 'muska' flipping the shit out of it!

Haha. Hey did you ever notice in that suckfest of a video "Guilty" that he actually did a proper fs flip over a table? I'm thinking he was getting word that his illusion flips were hideous.

I also preferred his Feedback part over his Fulfill the Dream part for some reason. Although I loved Olson's part!

Kind of odd now that Shorty's is back to nothing really considerinhg how huge they were in the late 90s/beginning of the 00s

i want to have this on my wall! shortys was the best back in the day. I have this brandon turner deck, where it says turner in big blue letters across the deck. I wish i hadn't skated it so hard. theres basicly no tail left on it.

dude that hi hat was ridiculously off... im pretty sure he uses reason now, but i dont think reason was around when that came out, meaning he probably did the entire thing on some sort of analog MPC type rig. my favorite is "we are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams" when he does the gonz rail... so good...

I wish he skated more, he has decent sponsors and only had his element part since his "return", and that only seemed like a glimpse of what he is capable

Every criticism of the Muska can be refuted with this sentence.

I had tons of that red muska deck. I think I got the green one too (the one that was the bigger size). It actually had a damn good shape too from what I remember.
Fulfill the dream was his peak in my eyes. The part doesn't really stand the test of time in a lot of ways, but when it came out it was so dope. 18 stair noseslide first try! ha.
Him and Jamie Thomas were like the two gnarliest dudes ever at the time. I remember kids having arguments over who was gnarlier.
Also, he still seems like the only guy with that whole hip hop thing going while also hucking himself like a ragdoll.
The Muska is still rad because he is a larger than life personality, an icon of sorts.
