There are many pro skaters in the world, each with their own unique style. However, no one can compare to the intense style of Chad Muska. If you like intense skateboarding then I highly recommend watching some of Chad Muska’s videos. He is known for grinding long railings, gapping staircases, and all-around intense skateboarding tricks.

Chad Muska wasn’t always a skateboarder, during his younger years he was heavily involved with BMX, and it was a passion of his. Chad moved around a lot as a child, and when he moved to a new town he saw kids skateboarding and instantly wanted to try it out for himself. As he got older he became more involved with skateboarding and ditched his BMX bike. Around this time Chad also became heavily involved in the graffiti scene. This mix of skateboarding and graffiti shaped Chad into the person he is today. He is well known in the skateboarding community not only as a great skateboarder but as a brilliant artist.

Chad Muska has been sponsored by numerous skate brands but most notably for Shortys and Element. His unique riding style and personality helped grow his brand, and his notoriety helped these companies sell thousands of skateboards. Chad has also been sponsored by éS a skate shoe company and is currently sponsored by Supra another big name skate shoe company. Through skateboarding, Chad Muksa became a wealthy man.

As years went on Chad Muska began to get hurt a lot more frequently. He suffered broken ankles, and on one occasion hurt his back while attempting a trick. Eventually, Chad had to take a break from skateboarding due to his health. This gave him more time to focus on the business end of skateboarding and his artwork.

Chad Muska is an amazing skateboarder, he is one of my favorites and for good reason. He has a unique style and a great personality. However, his achievements arent limited to skateboarding. He is a wonderful artist and businessman. Chad Muska’s story shows us that skateboarders shouldn’t be put in boxes, because every skateboarder has passions and skills outside of the skateboarding world.
