I was a poor lil ghetto kid so we couldnt afford much at the time so I deff had to rack the long sleeve shirt with the S on both sleeves from a homie for a lil while so I could rock it haha but I deff had mad shortys decks... The BIG logo with the big swish flowing through the whole graphic I had in just about every color... And I really wish that Brands like Shortys never left or down sized however ya wanna say it... I dont understand why at the turning point of our era did lots of companies BIG NAME companies in the sport just evaporated into thin air... Like we grew up literally attached to this skateboard shit in everyway bro so when you take a brand off the shelf like shortys its like taking memories out of my head... Skate companies need to just buckle down and do what they can to stay alive no matter what because theres guys out here who will keep the doors open... If I dont have skateboarding and the culture that comes with it I might as well kick the bucket because that was the one thing im sure for a lot of people that kept us grounded... I never in a million years standing at the counter buying my last pair of oldschool Dc's thought that would be the last pair of NORMAL SKATE shoes you would be able to buy.... now everything is vulcanized and we fuckin hate it!!! We, when I say we I mean skate rats.. we hate that the dumb shit yall companies or whoever are doing to try to stick with the fads, trends, or "times?" There are no times we make the times and the styles and the trends when it comes to this skate shit so why are we changing everything to fit in with the rest of the world that was never the goal before nor was it even a concern if anything we wanted to be different from everything else.. now everything is the same... all skaters look the same... Skinny jeans Tight shirts and vulcanized shoes???? Why?... Was never like that before why start now?... I seen skating not only as a platform to show off your skills but to show off your style and the steez you have on your board.. all those thing combined made a skater who they were... how do you do that when every one wants to look the same??? Be ORIGINAL yall... I loved that there were so many diff looking skaters and styles of skaters out there when I was a kid... it was way easier to figure out who you relate to in the game... right away Stevie & Josh at love instantly made me feel like there was a section of skating dedicated to the inner city kids who are poor as fuck who find their skateboard is like a life line and that with out it they have nothing bc of how much their board means to their everyday life... thats the stuff from the past that we need to bring back.. Bring back the puffy shoes and the baggy clothes bring back the hip hop music hip hop/ Basketball influenced shoes, bring back the ledge skaters bring back the fuckin 90's early 2000s and we will be GOLDEN! Skating was that one thing you could do to be an individual, you could be you and that was excepted because who wants to watch a million Tony hawks?.. No one.. we all like to see diff skaters skate because their in fact different from one an other.. so just let these fools be who they are and dont take away the opportunity for someone to pick up a shortys board or shirt because you just might be surprised how many people would still be wearing that shit to this day... All the legacy companies need to realize they did just that and people will want that product for life.. sure times change so demands change... but dont delete the stuff they were asking for last week because other guys want something different.. the old heads still want the good stuff from back in the day so why take it away why not do both then you hit the entire market... I can honestly say I have to mix and match all kinds of shit now just to get what I want instead of going with one or two brands and pulling it off you gotta rock 50 diff brands to accomplish a look you want... I find that dumb and disappointing... I never thought in my head HEY AT ONE POINT THIS WILL ALL BE GONE SO GET IT WHILE ITS HERE I didnt think it was going anywhwere and didnt see a reason for it to... thats just my opinion though... I MISS THE 90s era of skateboarding!
also like I said I was a poor lil inner city kid with no money for any of this shit, half the time im skating hand me down decks just to stay on 4 wheels and keep the love alive and now Im grown and got money in the muthafuckin bank.. so its like haha! Now I can buy all that cool shit I couldnt when I was a poor lil kid and now the shit just aint around or available anymore???. Cmon man some of these companies couldve stayed open forever and wouldnt ever miss a beat in sales simply because its got a demand.... thats like saying well now that we are at the height of our popularity lets stop making Supreme tomorrow... you know how many kids would be pissed... thats what they did to us but only with multiple brands... like lots n lots of them!!! I honestly can say if I was a billionaire I would buy all the companies from the 90s and bring 90s skating back well most of it... and I would spend every dollar to do so until it was successful
Me too great time in skating and music.Remeber when California Cheapsk8 was cool?(CCS).New Scool,Menace,The Firm,neighborhood,Foundation,atm,60/40,Powell,Santa Cruz,world Industries,channel 1,Beer City,Workshop,etc
Growing up in Santa Barbara everyone and their parents had Shortys stuff literally everyone and their parents. Even teachers where rocking Shortys. The best era of skateboarding ever.

I'll never forget that day being there at San Dieguito Hs when Muska frontside 5050'd the triple kink rail. Remember the day so vividly just as it was yesterday! The school was basically my backyard while growing up skating it.. Being so fortunate to witness so much game changing skate history go down there all the time. But on that particular day that Muska grinded the triple kink. There were at least 40 or so skaters from all walks of life, we were all sitting against the wall below just the right of the rail. A lot of them were and are your favorite skateboarders. Still have no idea how grinded through that second kink tho... I was just a little kid then. But on the 50 he pulled and rode away from when he landed that he kept pushing all the way down the hallway and ollie'd the 7stair, that my buddies an i grew up skating as well. Everyone there was chasing him all the way down the hallway with such excitement and hype! That grind was so ahead of it's time... I mean there's much more to share about that day in general as well all the other legendary tricks which went down at San Dieguito too.. It's to call him a friend and knowing that he remembered in my from days haha. It's humbling. Anyway, rant over. Blessings!
Seeing all those products like doh dohs and black panther bearings brings back so many memories. My first real board was a shorty’s muska silhouette deck back in like ‘99.
Imagine if that stuff wasnt available either and there was no longer a shortys brand anything... Its almost like being robbed of all your childhood memories haha seriously though the shit means a lot to kids growing up in the culture and when big name brands like Shorties become unavailable thats a big part of skateboarding kids dont get to see... So basically think of any major brands that stuck with you over the years and imagine if they never existed and what that would do to skateboarding for you... imagine the difference that would make... no fast forward to now a days and there are hardly any legacy brands left... How can kids now ever get the effect we got from skating if nothing is the same?.. I just wish we could go back to the 90's to early mid 2000's with skating.. that would be awesome
The shortys skatetool sold in the early 00's had said it had a "secret use" in the instruction note. This secret use was that it could be turned into a weed pipe.
Just went through my old skate stickers I've collected since I was like in 7th grade and I found a ton of shorty's stickers. Muska stickers, ghetto child, black magic, doh-dohs and even a shorty stickers with Rosa on it. Jackpot.
After I bought Fulfill the Dream me and a buddy went over to sears and put the VHS in one of the TV VCR combo units and watched the whole thing standing there. Totally in awe. The salesman on duty must have stopped by three times to see if we needed help.
Fuck ya that's my favorite part especially the second half of his part when he skates to grave diggers that song the shit. He was the skater I look up to at the time use to try to bite his style
@matt rardin I traded a kid like 2 grams of some shitty regae seed weed for it i definitely wasn't in the rich category, maybe lower middle class 😅 but the kid i got it from was definitely a big goofy ginger rich kid, always had all these shiny boards but sucked and would have like super big 58mm pig wheels and thought he was the shit, i remember giving him some shit deal for a pair of brand new ricta Appleyard wheels to, i skated those wheels for like 3 years while that kid had new everything every few months, would have a new deck every month but barely skated would just hang around after school where we all skated up the street
gotta give props to anyone willing to go out there, put in the work; and try and make there dream happen. this is basically the natural geopgraphic of skating.
OK, so like my reply is actually 2 years later from this comment. My son at age 6 or 7 has a dream to be a pro street skateboarder. I told him If you can dream it, we'll then you can do it, and my son, who is now turning 33, has accomplished his dream of being pro, and soooooo many doors have opened for him and he has worked very hard to have every dream so far with Sk8 to come true. I know that with him beleaving in himself, thru Sk8, and listening to my words, I am an extremely proud mamabear and I thank myself everyday, for not taking his dream away of being a pro street sk8boarder. I have such love and respect for Sk8boarding ❤️
I always rocked silverados on my board. I was fully hooked after I bought a set of black panther bearings, though. I remember owning the silhouette deck but i think my all time fav deck was the stretch logo in yellow/green. And yes, I had a "horty" shirt and also the sport logo hat.
Consolidated 14 things tough to choose between Smolik and Turner but one of them besides Muska and hell yeah had the hoodies and tees with the s sleeves dawgggg
I still have my Shortys wallet from back in the day tucked away. My favorite shorty's rider was smolik, Brandon turner and Steve olson. 14 things you didn't know about Chocolate Skateboards 14 things you didn't know about zoo york 14 things you didn't know about 5Boro 14 things you didn't know about Alien workshop 14 things you didn't know about Blind Skateboards 14 things you didn't know about DGK skateboards
We definately need 14 things you don’t know about different deck shapes (popsicle-shaped ones: powell peralta, girl og, Madness, Welcome etc) concaves, widths and their usage in synergy best for your needs. 🥴✌🏻
I had the Osiris G bad back in the day, i remember playing rap superstar and other bangers in like junior high walking through the halls and the teachers wouldn't know where ot was coming from lol
I owned one of the tees. Also, I went by the Small Room factory when I was a grom because I heard the had a mini ramp inside. They let us sk8 it! So cool of them! We've had several companies come out of SLO and SB. SLO had Small Room, Simple, CCS, Skate Warehouse, Jamba Juice. SB/Goleta had Powell, and Shorty's which I did not know. I didn't know about the Small Room connection. Very cool content. Respect.
The thing I respect the most about the pros from that era & even before their time, they all built legacies. They made sacrifices to make it to the top.
I’ll never forget, an older skater sponsored by Shorty’s Boards helped me rock to fakie on a mini ramp at my local park when I was a kid. Such a cool dude..... I ate shit tho, slammed my cheek into the concrete 😂🤘🏽🛹 good times
Still got the shortys hardware vhs,a snowboard shirt and church of skating video, a Santa Barbara skate shop with alot of the og riders. Have/had the shortys wave shirt, 2 s shirt, legalize skateboarding shirt and hardware shirt.
I remember when I was a kid, I got some skateboarding magazine and it came with a Shorty's cloth patch. This was easily 15 years ago and I still have it. Awesome video and I always wondered the significace behind the patch.
I knew Sammy Baptista when he lived in Colorado and he was just getting on Shortys. In my opinion he is the best switch stance skater out there for how long ago he was doing it.
I wish I still had all my shorty's gear from back in the day! I had the s on the sleeves shirts, hoody's, multiple muska boards, multiple shorty's script boards, a backpack. Even had the red muska circa cm902's, still my favorite shoes of all time. Recently copped one of the muska re-issue boards, and found a mint condition team poster that was the first shorty's ad I ever saw, gonna hang them both on the wall next to each other. Love these videos, keep em coming!
Finally found a older video that I haven’t watched. It looks different but still great. I like ,subscribe and commented. through the whole library and made sure
Just the shorty’s script takes me back to 6th grade. The shorty’s adds were the closest that I got to a play boy, so they were obviously very important to me
From Santa Barbara Shorty's was probably the biggest (skateboard)brand in the area(early-mid 2000's). Had a few family members who worked for the company so always had the shirts/hoodies
Man me and friends skated and rocked shortys and fulfill the dream was religiously watched. Such a great amazing time when I was growing up skating 🖤🖤🖤
Back in the days, Shorty's even had a big impact in the small town in Denmark where I was from. Me and my friends all had a favorite from the team, and of course mine was Muska. My whole love for skateboarding circled around Shorty's, and I'm still rocking the backpack today (still in good condition)
Had some old Shorty’s shirts, also had the Ghetto Child Muska wheels, red silhouette and rising sun board. Those were good times!! Anyway I’d like to see a video on Black Label/Lucero... Later on and still my favorite skaters have always came from Label/Anti Hero/Creature! rip Grosso, Rip Tony B, and RIP Tim Brauch (that one hit me hard yo)
I bought 2 shorty’s decks back in the day first one delamed, got a replacement, it delamed too lol. Got an Acme board as replacement, loved it. How about a vid on Acme. They even had slick decks with marvel characters (before the marvel boom). Loved the Shorties brand, always wanted their backpacks! Rode Doh-dohs because you had to when you were a ninties skater Ha! Oh and Black panthers too, first bearings with replaceable rubber shields if I remember correctly. It allowed me to easily service my bearings. Great vid Shredz!
YES!! I skated the Red Backed White Letter Outline ACME. It was the only graphic I could ever find for the 8" board. I also had the Acme t-shirt with the scantly clad woman that got me suspended twice in Jr High lol
I'm old, I owned multiple 8.0 Red colored OG Muska boards, The shirts and sweatshirts, and the Circa Muskas with the stash pouch that kept me out of police trouble countless times. Best times of my life
@@ShredzShop, Bro those are legit worth some money. They were actually amazing shoes. They lasted forever. They weren't suede. They were almost a rubber material with multiple layers around the Ollie patch. Like indestructible. I really hope they remake them. The original OG gray with a little red.
I still have 2 original t-shirts, 1 sweater, also stickers and shoes, a beanie signed by Toan, all the hardware, my doh doh's, a brand new original set of quickies bearings.... Plus a poster and the Guilty VHS video.... I recently got more shortys clothing which was t-shirts, a sweater, and a new beanie lol I still even have my old Shortys backpack as well.. Those were good times!! I miss that era A lot!!
When I was in high school, I had all the Rosa ads and posters up on my bedroom walls. I also remember wearing a Shorty's hoodie to the movies one night, and a bunch of cornball douchebags started yelling, "Yo, what's up shorty" at me. And I still own that Muska Beatz CD. Not the greatest album, but there's actually a couple really dope tracks on there. And it came with a 25 page full color, mini magazine, where Muska talks about each artist on the album and why he chose to put them on his project. I don't think it flopped because CDs were dying out, cause a lot of indie hip hop was still doing very well at that time with physical releases. Especially compilation albums. And he had a ton of very well known artists on there. I think the main issue was that it was just poorly promoted. It under-promoted, and nobody knew about it.
we used to use a hacksaw to cut the mounting hardware before shortys. bridge bolts or regular. someone stopped using 6 inch risers under trucks. we would use a workshop grinder to make our wheels super small. sometimes the wheels would just be like barring covers maybe it was with the death of vert to have better street skating.
I used to have the sleeved "sit" in a medium when i was in high school. also still own the Shorty's baseball style logo hoodie in grey with blue sleeves. it was my favorite hoodie and still wear it on occasion.
I recently stored away my Shorty’s “Trix are for kids” Skateboard from 99’. It’s the series where they had all the cereal brand characters. I have the white rabbit.
Shorty's was my favorite brand/team as a kid, I had every t-shirt & a couple of hoodies. I even had Chad's "muskabeatz" pro model deck with the t-shirt!!
This was interesting. I'm born and raised in Santa Barbara so I'm very familiar with Shorty's we used to have church of skaten sk8 shop here (sadly now RIP) and there would be warehouse sales back in the day where you could get clothes and decks for real cheap. I've got the old classic muska silhouette deck on my wall of my room because it was the first board I ever got as a kid and I think it's a cool graphic
Deym didnt know Tony B. died..rip.. anyway i love those Smallroom boards from back in the day. Simplistic graphics. & il always remember those hardware, Black magic griptape & dohdoh bushings haha love them
Took my 8th grade class photo in a Horty T. I loved Shorty’s and that era of skating so much! I watched Fulfill the Dream on VHS thousands of times! What year did Shorty’s re-release decks? Was 2011 the last year or were there later releases? Does anyone know?
Tone's last name is just pronounced "win." Cool video though. I had the "hortys" tee. The kamikaze muska deck, muska flight wings deck, and of course their bolts, bearings, first aid kit, and grip tape (didn't care for the grip). Wanted the cm802s. Pretty well wanted to be muska. Lol.
Chad Muska was more than just a skater, dude was a trend setter with his iconic style and looks. Its hard not to remember a guy with a ghetto blaster on his shoulder and a backpack as he 50-50's a gnarly ledge with ease and style most can only hope to achieve, shit was fucking epic.
Shorty's design inspired the shit out of me late 90's. Still does. Very groundbreaking for the time. The backpack, the HORTY tee. We sold so much of that stuff at utility board shop in the inland empire, socal. Couldnt keep up with the demand. Im pretty sure C1RCA would not have been profitable without the previous success of shorty's and Muska. RIP big Tony!
Shortys is back just made and uploaded a video on my channell showing new products that my great friend and brother Steve Olson he just left my place an hour ago he dropped me off gear for a project we are working on ! Great video much love from the Enoch! The founder of shortys passed away and his wife is fulfilling his dream of restarting up shortys again I couldn't be happier!

I was a poor lil ghetto kid so we couldnt afford much at the time so I deff had to rack the long sleeve shirt with the S on both sleeves from a homie for a lil while so I could rock it haha but I deff had mad shortys decks...

Damn! That’s a sick story! Love hearing people’s little stories of the brands when we do these.
Thanks for sharing!
Yea ronson. I didn't know you where there. Thats tight
Seeing all those products like doh dohs and black panther bearings brings back so many memories. My first real board was a shorty’s muska silhouette deck back in like ‘99.

They still make all that shit! The Muska decks perhaps not, but I still ride doh dohs and silverados
The shortys skatetool sold in the early 00's had said it had a "secret use" in the instruction note. This secret use was that it could be turned into a weed pipe.
I remember that...what an awesome tool
I think I may have had that but I was like 11 so I wouldn’t have realized what it was lol.
Don't be Discriminatory.....it could be a crack pipe as well.🤔
Just went through my old skate stickers I've collected since I was like in 7th grade and I found a ton of shorty's stickers. Muska stickers, ghetto child, black magic, doh-dohs and even a shorty stickers with Rosa on it. Jackpot.

Steve Olson was the shit. His parts were always so good and just fun. Great to get pump to.
Fuck ya that's my favorite part especially the second half of his part when he skates to grave diggers that song the shit. He was the skater I look up to at the time use to try to bite his style
I remember his part that opened up with the song Mello Yello.
I forgot all about backpacks with speakers man those were the days
@matt rardin I traded a kid like 2 grams of some shitty regae seed weed for it i definitely wasn't in the rich category, maybe lower middle class 😅 but the kid i got it from was definitely a big goofy ginger rich kid, always had all these shiny boards but sucked and would have like super big 58mm pig wheels and thought he was the shit, i remember giving him some shit deal for a pair of brand new ricta Appleyard wheels to, i skated those wheels for like 3 years while that kid had new everything every few months, would have a new deck every month but barely skated would just hang around after school where we all skated up the street
My dude made his own g bag, electronics dude. Prolly 2001
gotta give props to anyone willing to go out there, put in the work; and try and make there dream happen. this is basically the natural geopgraphic of skating.
Thank you!!! Lots of work, stoked you enjoy!!
Connor Shaw-case if you haven’t seen love letters this is ok at best

OK, so like my reply is actually 2 years later from this comment. My son at age 6 or 7 has a dream to be a pro street skateboarder. I told him
If you can dream it, we'll then you can do it, and my son, who is now turning 33, has accomplished his dream of being pro, and soooooo many doors have opened for him and he has worked very hard to have every dream so far with Sk8 to come true. I know that with him beleaving in himself, thru Sk8, and listening to my words, I am an extremely proud mamabear and I thank myself everyday, for not taking his dream away of being a pro street sk8boarder. I have such love and respect for Sk8boarding ❤️
I want to go back to this time so bad this was my golden era
Steve Olson’s part in fulfill the dream was on heavy repeat growing up. He was true daredevil.
I found in the attic this old plastic Shorty's light-up sign, never knew I had it, and it's now permanently on in my living room.
I always rocked silverados on my board. I was fully hooked after I bought a set of black panther bearings, though. I remember owning the silhouette deck but i think my all time fav deck was the stretch logo in yellow/green. And yes, I had a "horty" shirt and also the sport logo hat.
You couldn’t tell me my gray hoodie with the S on both sleeves wasn’t the shit back in high school.
I was obsessed with Muska when I was young. I wore nothing but Shorty's clothing and skated on Muska skateboards only lol
I live nowhere near a Shredz but I have so much love for you guys for making these videos, much respect Shredz team!
Stoked you enjoy the vids!! I hope you have a local shop to support somewhere near you!!!
Consolidated 14 things tough to choose between Smolik and Turner but one of them besides Muska and hell yeah had the hoodies and tees with the s sleeves dawgggg
I still have my Shortys wallet from back in the day tucked away.
My favorite shorty's rider was smolik, Brandon turner and Steve olson.

14 things you don’t know about different deck shapes (popsicle-shaped ones: powell peralta, girl og, Madness, Welcome etc) concaves, widths and their usage in synergy best for your needs. 🥴✌🏻
always wanyed a "S HORTY S" hoodie but living in new zealand it was hard and Smolik by far my fav skater ever
They were always sold out at my local shop too!
I had the Osiris G bad back in the day, i remember playing rap superstar and other bangers in like junior high walking through the halls and the teachers wouldn't know where ot was coming from lol
😂😭😂
I owned one of the tees. Also, I went by the Small Room factory when I was a grom because I heard the had a mini ramp inside. They let us sk8 it! So cool of them! We've had several companies come out of SLO and SB. SLO had Small Room, Simple, CCS, Skate Warehouse, Jamba Juice. SB/Goleta had Powell, and Shorty's which I did not know. I didn't know about the Small Room connection. Very cool content. Respect.
The thing I respect the most about the pros from that era & even before their time, they all built legacies. They made sacrifices to make it to the top.
The skate competition at carrington was sick I got a shirt thanks Shredz
I’ll never forget, an older skater sponsored by Shorty’s Boards helped me rock to fakie on a mini ramp at my local park when I was a kid. Such a cool dude..... I ate shit tho, slammed my cheek into the concrete 😂🤘🏽🛹 good times
Still got the shortys hardware vhs,a snowboard shirt and church of skating video, a Santa Barbara skate shop with alot of the og riders. Have/had the shortys wave shirt, 2 s shirt, legalize skateboarding shirt and hardware shirt.
I'm 43. Shorty's for life. I even had a Kevin Young and Chris Brown snowboard. I wish this brand came back. Love the whole vibe.
I remember when I was a kid, I got some skateboarding magazine and it came with a Shorty's cloth patch. This was easily 15 years ago and I still have it. Awesome video and I always wondered the significace behind the patch.
I knew Sammy Baptista when he lived in Colorado and he was just getting on Shortys. In my opinion he is the best switch stance skater out there for how long ago he was doing it.
Some of the Best years of my life. I had a Camo backpack from shortys
the golden days...
I absolutely had one of those shorty T-shirts with the s on both sleeves. And fulfill the dream is one of my childhood favorite skate videos
🔥🔥🔥
I wish I still had all my shorty's gear from back in the day! I had the s on the sleeves shirts, hoody's, multiple muska boards, multiple shorty's script boards, a backpack. Even had the red muska circa cm902's, still my favorite shoes of all time. Recently copped one of the muska re-issue boards, and found a mint condition team poster that was the first shorty's ad I ever saw, gonna hang them both on the wall next to each other. Love these videos, keep em coming!
who remembers the shorty's pimp pack. i used to getem all the time out of CCS magazine.
Finally found a older video that I haven’t watched. It looks different but still great. I like ,subscribe and commented. through the whole library and made sure
Just the shorty’s script takes me back to 6th grade.
The shorty’s adds were the closest that I got to a play boy, so they were obviously very important to me
5:29
lmao. nice editing. "She likes travelling" - while showing a plane crashing and lighting on fire hahah
Just went back and checked my old cupboard under the stairs and lol I found an old shortys deck semi visible font man I miss the 2000’s
From Santa Barbara Shorty's was probably the biggest (skateboard)brand in the area(early-mid 2000's). Had a few family members who worked for the company so always had the shirts/hoodies
Man me and friends skated and rocked shortys and fulfill the dream was religiously watched. Such a great amazing time when I was growing up skating 🖤🖤🖤
14 things about Real Skateboards
They should do deluxe in general
@@connect._.5320 i Second That! I ride nothing but DLXSF!
I grew up skating with Jake Donnelly
Back in the days, Shorty's even had a big impact in the small town in Denmark where I was from. Me and my friends all had a favorite from the team, and of course mine was Muska. My whole love for skateboarding circled around Shorty's, and I'm still rocking the backpack today (still in good condition)
Ahhh I have a Shortys sticker on my car. Was always my fav bran of board growing up. Muska 4 l143
Had some old Shorty’s shirts, also had the Ghetto Child Muska wheels, red silhouette and rising sun board. Those were good times!! Anyway I’d like to see a video on Black Label/Lucero... Later on and still my favorite skaters have always came from Label/Anti Hero/Creature! rip Grosso, Rip Tony B, and RIP Tim Brauch (that one hit me hard yo)
CCS and Active have that Shorty’s shirt in stock now! I almost snatched one up for nostalgia
I bought 2 shorty’s decks back in the day first one delamed, got a replacement, it delamed too lol. Got an Acme board as replacement, loved it. How about a vid on Acme. They even had slick decks with marvel characters (before the marvel boom). Loved the Shorties brand, always wanted their backpacks! Rode Doh-dohs because you had to when you were a ninties skater Ha! Oh and Black panthers too, first bearings with replaceable rubber shields if I remember correctly. It allowed me to easily service my bearings. Great vid Shredz!
YES!! I skated the Red Backed White Letter Outline ACME. It was the only graphic I could ever find for the 8" board. I also had the Acme t-shirt with the scantly clad woman that got me suspended twice in Jr High lol
I'm old, I owned multiple 8.0 Red colored OG Muska boards, The shirts and sweatshirts, and the Circa Muskas with the stash pouch that kept me out of police trouble countless times. Best times of my life
My friend has a pair of those stash pocket muska mint still in the box haha serious collectors item!
@@ShredzShop, Bro those are legit worth some money. They were actually amazing shoes. They lasted forever. They weren't suede. They were almost a rubber material with multiple layers around the Ollie patch. Like indestructible. I really hope they remake them. The original OG gray with a little red.
Chad muska my all-time favorite team rider😎🌟
That rising sun muska board is LEGENDARY.
Fulfil the dream has the best soundtrack in skateboard history.
My first board was the Red Rising sun board. RIP one of the best brands around.
I still have 2 original t-shirts, 1 sweater, also stickers and shoes, a beanie signed by Toan, all the hardware, my doh doh's, a brand new original set of quickies bearings.... Plus a poster and the Guilty VHS video....
I recently got more shortys clothing which was t-shirts, a sweater, and a new beanie lol I still even have my old Shortys backpack as well..
Those were good times!! I miss that era A lot!!
That’s awesome! Just got a bunch of re-issue Shorty’s Rosa shirts in!
@@ShredzShop no way That's cool lol ima have to go on their website and check that out haha
You guys covered Powell & Peralta maybe also do Santa Cruz?
Santa cruz was the shit
Working on it!! 👍🏻🙌🏻
My first pro deck was a Muska sun deck. Good times.
Dude. I fuggin love these. You gotta do one on fallen. The dopest shoe company in 2008.
Dude I remember the shortys backpack!! That thing was crazy at the time
Yea I still miss mine... got stollen. Had it for years before that happened. 😞 I didn’t have the speaker one. I had the plain, but very practical.
When I was in high school, I had all the Rosa ads and posters up on my bedroom walls. I also remember wearing a Shorty's hoodie to the movies one night, and a bunch of cornball douchebags started yelling, "Yo, what's up shorty" at me. And I still own that Muska Beatz CD. Not the greatest album, but there's actually a couple really dope tracks on there. And it came with a 25 page full color, mini magazine, where Muska talks about each artist on the album and why he chose to put them on his project. I don't think it flopped because CDs were dying out, cause a lot of indie hip hop was still doing very well at that time with physical releases. Especially compilation albums. And he had a ton of very well known artists on there. I think the main issue was that it was just poorly promoted. It under-promoted, and nobody knew about it.
we used to use a hacksaw to cut the mounting hardware before shortys. bridge bolts or regular. someone stopped using 6 inch risers under trucks. we would use a workshop grinder to make our wheels super small. sometimes the wheels would just be like barring covers maybe it was with the death of vert to have better street skating.
Always look forward to these videos
I used to have the sleeved "sit" in a medium when i was in high school. also still own the Shorty's baseball style logo hoodie in grey with blue sleeves. it was my favorite hoodie and still wear it on occasion.
I learned how to do my first ollie on a Shorty's board
My first Shortys board was the trix rabbit 🐰 miss that board :)
I still have my camo backpack I bought bran new back then. It's in good shape still. Also have the sticker that came with it on one of my toolsboxes.
Nice work Shredz! Man did you see that Muska stuff Beagle released? So good 😊
Just watched it!! That channel is so sick.
Back in the diz-ay I never got to ride a shorty’s board cuz they didn’t stay on the wall longer than a day or two.
man this channel came a long way!
Dude I'll give you 100 bucks and I'll take you out to Benihana's if you do Blind next.
I recently stored away my Shorty’s “Trix are for kids” Skateboard from 99’. It’s the series where they had all the cereal brand characters. I have the white rabbit.
This is great. Thanks for all the info!
Favorite rider: BRANDON TURNER fo sure !!! 🤙🏽 Great vid. Mahalo and Aloha from Hawai’i
Man I miss shortys!
Shorty's was my favorite brand/team as a kid, I had every t-shirt & a couple of hoodies. I even had Chad's "muskabeatz" pro model deck with the t-shirt!!
Definitely had a grey shortys shirt with the blue S on the sleeves. saw it in an on old pic of mine not too long ago too.
i never stopped using shortys hardware. And always loved Black Magic grip and Back Panther bearings, do they still make those?
Yea! It's all back, not sure if it was ever gone in America, but it definitely was hard to find in Canada for a while.
I just made a set up a month ago with black magic, shock pads, dohs dohs and hardware. Don't think they make black panthers anymore.
This was interesting. I'm born and raised in Santa Barbara so I'm very familiar with Shorty's we used to have church of skaten sk8 shop here (sadly now RIP) and there would be warehouse sales back in the day where you could get clothes and decks for real cheap. I've got the old classic muska silhouette deck on my wall of my room because it was the first board I ever got as a kid and I think it's a cool graphic
Thank you so much for this vid!
Deym didnt know Tony B. died..rip.. anyway i love those Smallroom boards from back in the day. Simplistic graphics. & il always remember those hardware, Black magic griptape & dohdoh bushings haha love them
I had a shortys backpack. Not the speaker one but one of the joints that held my doses
When I was a kid I had two of the shortys original T’s and a navy backpack
Took my 8th grade class photo in a Horty T. I loved Shorty’s and that era of skating so much! I watched Fulfill the Dream on VHS thousands of times!
What year did Shorty’s re-release decks? Was 2011 the last year or were there later releases? Does anyone know?
Haha the nostalgia is real!
Tone's last name is just pronounced "win."
Cool video though.
I had the "hortys" tee. The kamikaze muska deck, muska flight wings deck, and of course their bolts, bearings, first aid kit, and grip tape (didn't care for the grip). Wanted the cm802s. Pretty well wanted to be muska. Lol.
Everyone and their mothers had the horty shortys t shirts and u weren't cool unless u had the first aid kit lmaoo such a throwback 🤘
We still have a really old ass dirty ass first aid kit at the shop.
I've got the first aid kit!! That was the coolest thing
Wow i was gonna mentaion somthing about snowbaording with you being in Canada. I want expecting a shortys snowboard. that thing is soo sick
very rare!!
I live for these videos
I remember getting the large print shortys board and tshirt for Xmas and being so amped
I didn’t have the shirt but I had the red Muska siluette board. Some punk stole it out of my garage.
Shortys was by far my favorite brand growing up in nineties
Chad Muska was more than just a skater, dude was a trend setter with his iconic style and looks. Its hard not to remember a guy with a ghetto blaster on his shoulder and a backpack as he 50-50's a gnarly ledge with ease and style most can only hope to achieve, shit was fucking epic.
Agreed. He was a superstar
Finally a video on something you know about, having a shorty... 😘
Bro, you just spent the day yesterday watching our vids? I respect it...
@@ShredzShop you're just so easy to rip on...
Plus I spent a ton of time on the toilet yesterday.
Shorty's design inspired the shit out of me late 90's. Still does. Very groundbreaking for the time. The backpack, the HORTY tee. We sold so much of that stuff at utility board shop in the inland empire, socal. Couldnt keep up with the demand. Im pretty sure C1RCA would not have been profitable without the previous success of shorty's and Muska. RIP big Tony!
Muska is back on Shorty's!
I loved my shortys XL as a big guy loved the width
Still got a shorty’s board from the late 90’s
