Chad Muska sat down for a seven minute interview with Route One during Supra’s recent trip across the pond. We’re still waiting for the footage from the tour to surface. In the meantime, the ever philosophical Muska breaks down why he doesn’t feel like he has a defining moment in his career at the 6:35 mark of his latest bit of Q&A. His explanation makes loads of sense.

I would say that it’s like a puzzle. Every single piece of my life makes up the person that I am now. I would say that each piece is equally important to become the final memory that you will one day become. So there’s no one defining moment. Because without all of those moments, one of them wouldn’t be as special. It’s like ying / yang, light / dark, summer / winter, the balance of it all. So for me to say that one was the most important would take away from the rest of it. They’re all a part of my life; and I cherish every single moment. The good with the bad, the worst parts are equally as important as the good parts. I take them all.

Watch the full interview above.

Nyjah Huston has only good things to say about his rivals for the 2022 SOTY.

In the ONSTIX Episode 108 streamed on Thrasher’s Twitch channel, Nyjah described the 2022 SOTY Tyshawn Jones as the “King of Pops” for “skating over anything and everything possible.”

He also said that Louie Lopez is just straight-up creative and had a good chance of getting SOTY for many years now.

He also commended TFunk’s latest video part.

Nyjah said in the interview that he watches almost every video that Thrasher posts, even those names he hadn’t heard of.

I love watching everyone’s skating because everyone skates differently and that’s what beautiful about what we do.

Tyshawn Jones eventually got the 2022 SOTY title. He is one of the three double-recipients of the title, the other two being Danny Way and Chris Cole. He earned his first SOTY in 2018.
