My male chinchilla suddenly would start chasing my feet and bite. I pull away pretty fast so I can't really tell if its a bite or him just nibbling. I'm unsure if he is playing or being aggressive.

Hulk is probably trying to play with you, as I have never seen chinchillas act in an aggressive manner in this way. Make sure he always has plenty of chew toys, branches, and hay to keep his teeth occupied, and away from your feet!
