I remember seeing ads for you in skateboard mag

Ronson ! I was a skate rat growing up . Your part in the "- forecast " changed My child hood . Also your part in "time to shine " I'm 30 years old an don't skate any more but you gave me the best memories of my life watching your parts an go skating for hours . Your a legend in my eyes. I cam garentee iv spent atleast 40 hours watching your parts younger

Loved your transworld part

@Corey Gonzo It better be . I just told my entire family an friends that me and him had a conversation. Everybody thinks I'm friends with a professional skateboarder so this better be his acount fuck

@Corey Gonzo you don't even known him

I can totally relate to this.

Dude, skateboarding clothes were and still are expensive. To be fair, nowadays the clothes are at least pretty good quality, especially brands like Volcom.

@@sandhanitizer15 the quality has only gone down since then, not gotten better.

@@Joshuajames310 this is true

Thats soo cool back then those hoodies or the ones with just wet willy or flame boy were sooo based

To be fair, inventing the front shuv is worthy of a death threat

@@danielyeary148 fucking true

@@WuvPain y’all don’t like front shuvs? I think it’s one of the most fun and stylish tricks

@@wild4509 only if they’re switch

😂😂 i was thinking the same !

Spitfire too!

haha. Same, bro. Didn't ride World, I but was obsessed with their art work and was always doodling Wet Willy and Flameboy in school notebooks!

@@nelsonhoffman5922 hell yeah! Their shirts had really cool designs also

lmao i did the same, I skated alot of Black Label and suffled brands alot but actually never owned a World, yet you find doodles of the their graphics all over my stuff.

Fuck yeah dude. Thumbnail triggered me to fuck. Literally did the same thing, was obsessed. Had them as finger skates, the rubber characters, shirts, pants. Only thing i didn't have as far as i knew was the board since i already had a few haha. Was hoping to fuck my board up and then have a reason to get one, but i take pride in things i own. So that never happened. Wondered what happened to the brand.

Yes!!! CCS!! When I ordered they still had C.O.D..loved getting new clothes or boards/wheels ect via CCS ....Definitely the good ol days

and taking the ccs to school and thumbing thru with your friends talkin about all the gear you wanted lol yeah those were the days alright

Wow ccs 😆 that's old school

CCS was great like a Powell or shuv it blank just plain and straightforward

can't forget about active

How about Consolidated? That was a great board company.

Alien Workshop 👽 & Toy Machine too

spitfire with bones bearings?

@@mervunit Nah...Black Panther bearings with Venture trucks bro

Anti-hero boards and thunder trucks were my jam. First boards were a hand me down world and my first new to me was a blind. Man those were the days.

Got stronger faster. Thanks mom

bro exact same shit, I had this 8.5" i was 10, checker devil, slugging round that heavy ass board, having to use so much effort just to get that shit off the ground. Loved it so much though

😢 It was precious

Same

Probably not even real World Industries from Wally

@@CANControlGRAFFITI who said anything about buying the deck from Walmart?

Hell yeah World tech decks all day!!!

Same bro, started out with a toys r us board and then my first legit setup a world deck, grind king trucks, spitfire wheels and speed demon bearings. I remember my first reactions was enjoying how smooth and fast the ride was after skating a toys r us board for so long

Flame boy and wet willie!

Facts

Ice and fire?!?!?!? It's flame boy and wet willy

Those and Shorty's were the best

I loved the blind logos and forgot about toy machine. I had a lucky deck

Don't forget about the hook-ups boards with the honies on them.

Powell blanks are the only thing I ever skated

Whatchu know about ZERO

It was the same in Canada but I remember seeing their boards at Canadian Tire, an automotive/sporting goods store. I knew they had gone way down hill. They were still better than the regular box store boards but not by much.

Same here in Vegas. I remember loving them, a couple of my first early pro decks were World Industries boards. & had only ever seen them being sold at skate shops at first..then seen them being sold inside Dicks Sporting goods, in a section of the store that they set up to look like mini skate shop!..I remember initially getting excited seeing them, bc it had become a rare occurrence to find them in skate shops. There were A LOT of them too & I remember thinking “yooo, it’s gunna be hard picking one!”bc there were sooo many of them. Then I picked one up, & was thoroughly confused..it felt NOTHING like an ACTUAL pro board & came with shitty grip tape already on it ..thinking I must have grabbed a dud, I picked up a couple more & that’s when I realized the company was no longer what it had been before. The boards felt like Walmart boards :( just shaped a little better..then got curious of the parts they were selling separately (trucks/wheels/etc) & realized that they were barely a step above Walmart quality as well. I would always go back inside dicks in hopes that they would start selling LEGIT boards/parts, just to get even more disappointed as they had eventually removed the entire “skate shop” from the store & started only selling complete boards. Who’s quality only seemed to be getting shitier🙁RIP World Industries.

I miss my flame boy shirts

Once I seen them at Walmart I know that was a wrap

Bro you are right 💯

lol, that's good man.

FS 3 shuv on the other hand....

And I bet the inventor of pressure flips got away scot free. Where is the justice in the world 😅

Flame Boy and wet Willy lol bought my first one at mr rags

@@Jhayes14590The devilman was iconic as hell.

Any way of getting some of the old original boards still?

Please write your own experience

You should upload some videos about it

Jerome do you have any idea what happened to Mike Smith and Liberty boards? Smith was a friend of a friend and really hooked me up back in the day, I even got to go Rocco's house when Rodney lived with him and got hooked up with a couple boards and stickers. it was real ego booster meeting the cool older dudes. I gifted most the stuff away over the years but still have a old madrid smith duck board he rode in contest possibly the one in the acid drop photo

@@damionmarkham9835 liberty had gone belly up years before. So unfortunately I can’t help you with that. You could however ask Marc McKee (he’s on FB) as he drew the Liberty logos and graphics. Take care.

If y’all want vids on skate companies, well... then y’all are my dream audience. I’ll definitely still cover a range of companies, but I’m gonna do lots of skate companies and skate-adjacent stuff as well.

@@modernbusinesschannel dude pls keep them up fr fr

@@modernbusinesschannel ive subscribed looking forward to watching all your videos

Ed Templeton, don't sleep on Ed please!

Sorry for u r loss

Appreciate you my mate

@@modernbusinesschannel bro what was your previous channel? Thanks for the content I appreciate it

@@dutchybag it’s called Nate the Mate. I make videos over there similar to this, in a video essay format, but about music. And I still do it :)

Damn I knew you sounded familiar. I didn’t even know about this channel. Just found this video randomly on the home page. Nice content mate.

@Nedd Flanders I follow Nate on his other channel and I thought it would be cool to support his new endeavor which I genuinely like, I hope other people aren't as cruel to you as you are to them. Have a great day!

Im a 41 year old Aussie who was only able to get a World deck (The famous Uncle Sam one) When my Dad took me and my sister to the States in the very early 90s and I bought it in a Santa Monica Skate Shop You couldnt get World ANYTHING in Australia back then and I felt like I was the King of the Skate Park with that deck as we'd only ever seen World Industries in Thrasher, TransWorld or in 411VM on VHS, I was the ONLY one with a World deck wherever I went. I remeber MANY years later walking into Big W and seeing World shirts there and shacking my head at how lame it had become

Came looking for this comment. world became a brand like bad boy, mambo, piping hot and all them kinda brands.

I’m 33. My first deck was World Industries Foolio. And now as my wall art, I’ve bought a Falcon 3 and Muska Red Silhouette. Those two decks basically sum up skate culture during the glory days of THPS1

You should check out”The Man who Souled the World”, the documentary that this video was based off of. That’s killer.

Now Blind is a company I forgot about.

I think I started skating somewhere around 2006/7 and my first (non-generic Walmart) board was a blind complete. Man, I loved that thing. The trucks even had the little blind dude under the axle. At that time though, Blind was still everywhere but World had already fallen off in scene I was in. I had one world board when I was 14 and still remember it being a terrible board. Granted, the dude I got it from was sketchy to say the least so it was probably one of their walmart runs.

90’s bro... since the 90’s

Mullen invented skateboarding in my opinion. I saw him in the mid 80s at a demo in Daytona Beach. Absolutely incredible!

@@milojohnson6068 I’d never seen anyone skate so cleanly before, and haven’t since. He was just nailing everything, handstand manuals to flip tricks. He was just on his own level, absolutely mind blowing. He really deserves so much recognition with all the tricks he invented etc. I think he’s the most important skater in history honestly.

Spot on

Vallely

I have a World Industries tech deck home here somewhere, had it for years. It’s the only one I have lol

Oooh good idea!

Wet Willy !!! Spitfire was coo

Nutjob

I love being a skate nerd

Watch the battle at the berrics

Skate competition of all skaters

Watch photosynthesis by Alien workshop and habitat, video is a staple in street skating OG love park clips for days and rob dyrdek before he got corny that and baker 3 are must for any skater old or new

Watch the documentary on here called "the man who souled the World"

Thanks Carl!

Where do you get their stuff? The website doesnt seem to really worm

Thanks Hayden! I appreciate you

They banked off of skating but never branched out like DC did.

Why?

@@BAGAKOOS Why what?

I was a bmxer growing up and I loved world industries clothing it was sick as fuck and my skate buddies had the decks I never got into skateboarding could never figure out how to Ollie LOL

I remember starting to see their stuff at Olympia Sports and overnight the charm was gone.

Shorty's relaunched. They have a website.

There he is....

Gotchuuu

@@modernbusinesschannel w creator 😤💪

@@modernbusinesschannel Your coverage style is perfect for this topic imo, and does it justice by being accurate and bringing the skate vibes. Good work with these videos.

That means a lot, thank you!

I found out were Rodney would practice above the redondo pier and i would go there to watch and skate. he asked me to stop skating when he was their because I sucked so bad it was really distracting him. dude is supper cool it was obvious he did not want to ask me but needed his space to practice.

Yep, good little documentary, good enough to retain interest when not even into the topic.

You got it! Literally my fav documentary ever. I hope this video points more people toward it

Sorry if it came across that way, I really do love that documentary and made sure to credit it in the description. My hope with this video is to bring even more people over to see the documentary. Because it only has 160k views and is age restricted. I was hoping with this I could possibly bring it to a larger audience. But I understand your perspective and appreciate your comment

Doesn't anyone give a damn about the rules anymore!?! 😉👍
