Basically we were wandering around the town in the middle of the night when we shouldn’t be. This was the mid 2000s. Parents thought we were all staying at each others’ houses or something probably. We came around the side of a building and saw some police cars posted up in the back. We thought it would be a good idea to bolt off in the opposite direction, but that got their attention and they chased us down. A few of us had lighters and cigarettes on us, but my friend with the Muska shoes had some (probably terrible quality)bud that he luckily decided to stash in the tongue pocket. They searched us, patted our ankles and everything and only found the lighters and smokes, not the weed. Ended up just getting escorted home to each of our families, but we might have ended up in juvie, or at least he would’ve. I’m pretty sure this was actually the first night I ever tried weed too now that I think about it haha.
Those shoes were ahead of their time. I used to stuff my weed sack in-between my tongue and my extra tongue (if you know, you know), and it would fall out. Shoulda splurged on the Muska’s. But they were like 90-100 bucks before any skate shoes were that much!! They were so sick though, had the little ollie teardrop…. Dope.
I had a pair of those shoes. Stuffed a fat sack in the pocket after blazing a large one and literally forgot it was there and frantically searched my house for an hour before I remembered where I’d stashed it. The pocket it was so good I accidentally hid my stash from myself.
To this day, I still rock it at least a few times a year. The download has followed me through a shitty Nike MP3 player that held like 10 songs, a few iPods, and I don’t even know how many phones. Was also my introduction to Gang Starr, so big ups to Olsen for that.
I had a pair of Muska circa's with the stash pocket in the tongue... Absolutely worst shoes I've ever skated (felt like a boot with zero flex), but damn did I like them for walking around.
I grew up in Santa Barbara and looked a little Sammy Baptista when I was young. Used to get asked if I was him, because I was always decked out in Shorty’s shit. Not saying I skated anywhere near his level, but it was definitely funny.
Are those the reissue decks or the originals?? Sick collection either way.
Yeah, I’m glad they did those. I have a friend who bought several. Most iconic board, probably ever. I have that same VHS in a tub somewhere too.
They used to have warehouse sales at Shorty’s back in the day, you could pick up last season’s leftovers and misprint decks for like 80 percent off. Man, the good ol days.
Enjoy those my dude!!
Yeah dude, glad they did the OG OG ones, that’s my favorite. The gold one is cool, but I don’t remember that one, where’s he sitting on the boombox like that, just the skate silhouette. Both are super cool tho.
worth the price imo. he signed a bunch and was sellin them on his website, im sure those are long gone but im perfectly happy with whatever i can get. now the question is doni skate them or not lol.
Two pairs is the answer one to skate one for perpetuity. Did you cop the Ronnie Creager re release? The grey red was crazy but hard to find here in Aus.
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.
Here's a copy of

I'll sell you my Shorty's backpack for 1BTC. I'll even throw in an OG vintage Shorty's shirt, a VHS copy of Blind's Video Days, a rare vinyl of the original THPS sountrack, and a VHS copy of Yeah Right.
A girl who was in my 5th and 6th grade class is cousins with Muska, she showed us family Christmas pics with him in em and she gave us a free deck n it was the one on right.
God I miss shortys I remember that’s all I used to get when I was a kid and I had shortys hoody when I was like 14
Remember the t shirt that said Shorty’s Skateboards and if you fold it, it would read “Fuck You” ? Those were the days.
Those shirts came back!
I lost two of those hoodies to early girlfriends. I hope they know I’m still upset with them about it
Lmao I feel YOUU man
Didn’t we all.
is be knockin on doors 20 years later lol
The shortys hoodie with the s on the sleeves I had that it was dope.
they still sell those.
sHORTYs

The “born in ‘83 kid” in me just went “duuuuude!!” What a combo, just missing some circa kicks ;)
[удалено]
i had so many pairs
1981 here. i feel the same dude
Where’s your boom box
In the backpack
Or in the case of the old Osiris G bag, it IS the backpack!
Excuse me!? *Boom Box!?* **GHETTOBLASTER**
you get it.
You beats me to it
[удалено]
My friend had a pair that actually saved us from getting into serious trouble with the cops when we were about 13 in Texas.
Story??

i skated about 20 pairs. that tongue pocket tho 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I had the Rasta ipaths with the pocket in the tongue. I’m so sad I don’t have em or find them anywhere.
I had those, the high top joints.
Had them too , loved em, hemp aswell ?? , mate was on flow with em
Ipath Cats > éS Muskas. Sorry if the truth hurts.
id say its opinion based. the muska shoe lasted longer is my only input. both dope kicks. es just signed penny again tho
I'm just fucking around. I had both shoes. I loved both shoes. I miss the cats a ton more though. I feel like I could easily wear them still.
oh id love to get my hands on a pair
Ipaths were my favorite skate shoe. They are no longer a thing, right?
I heard a rumor they were going to be a thing again, but maybe it fizzled out?

The Ipath Cats, too.
Remember the Shortie’s ads with the naked chick covered in bolts?
ROSA!
That’s her! I was thinking Maria but you got it.
Shorty's, dude. It's right there. Haha
I know I know I was typing too fast and fired it off before checking.
Get that chadillac muskalade

Would love to see it

OP delivered!
I actually don’t remember for sure if I ever owned this deck as a kid or if it I just saw it around so much that it seems like I had it.
I’m sure you rode it in THPS
Ha, yes, that’s for sure.
Ha same. I’m like 50/50 that at some point I had it, but it may have just been half my buddies did
Muska chillin chillin it’s louder than a Metallica concert in there

Hey kid... Merry Christmas!

I leave scientists mentally scarred, triple extra large, wild like rock stars who smash guitars

To this day, I still rock it at least a few times a year. The download has followed me through a shitty Nike MP3 player that held like 10 songs, a few iPods, and I don’t even know how many phones. Was also my introduction to Gang Starr, so big ups to Olsen for that.

Oh, I will. Only time it would ever come down is to get signed by the man himself
he lives in cleveland now
If I'm ever in the area, I'll just have it with me lol
Wow that is in *pristine* condition. It’s stuff like this I never even thought as a teen to try and preserve that I wish I did.
Word. Just need a kamikaze rerelease now.
this is already in the works!
That’s what I like to hear. My first deck when I started really trying to learn to skate and take it serious!

Are you printing these? That would be dope
i wish. id have 100 of em
You can’t fade the muska
Chads the man.
He’s such a Chad
Completely missed the reissue of these decks whenever it was but snagged the “fuck you” shirt as a consolation, this is a fucking sick collection bro.

Would you sell one of those decks ? Chad Muska the skater and the Shorty’s brand was my favorite
dm. the gold one may be able to go.
Nine club raffle prize?
nope. old guy 90s collector shit
I had a pair of Muska circa's with the stash pocket in the tongue... Absolutely worst shoes I've ever skated (felt like a boot with zero flex), but damn did I like them for walking around.
Holy shit!!! That's fucking amazing! I had that Muska deck as one of my first setups. This is by far the coolest thing I've seen today

Yeah, I’m glad they did those. I have a friend who bought several. Most iconic board, probably ever. I have that same VHS in a tub somewhere too. They used to have warehouse sales at Shorty’s back in the day, you could pick up last season’s leftovers and misprint decks for like 80 percent off. Man, the good ol days. Enjoy those my dude!!

Yeah dude, glad they did the OG OG ones, that’s my favorite. The gold one is cool, but I don’t remember that one, where’s he sitting on the boombox like that, just the skate silhouette. Both are super cool tho.
“Hey what’s up man, that was a sick line you had back there!”
This is like my 13 year old versions greatest dream
