What Happened to World Industries?

[@Randyplaysguitars]

I was never much of a skater but in highschool i loved looking thru skate/snowboard catalogs and checking out the board designs

Nice video dude ❤

[@Chuey_TV]

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the video! Although i was never allowed to skate, Flame Boy and Wet Willy were some of my favorite characters back in the 2000s. Their playful rebellion was exactly what I was craving at the time as a sheltered, religious teen. 20 years later, and I'm finally getting on the skateboard after a lifetime of curiosity!

The best skateboard I ever had back in the early 2000s was a World Industries deck. Everyone who tried that board commented that they loved it. It was the Mathias Ringstrom deck that had a polar bear holding a pitchfork in his left hand and his tail in his right hand with the wood grain background.

In fact , Its when W.I. Became a sh!tty walmart brand. Skate and punk was about loyality not selling out.

7 seconds in and you're already saying things I don't agree with. "late 90s"? World Industries was formed in the late 80s and was literally paving the way that street skating would evolve along during all of the 90s. Plan B, 101, Blind were all World Industries brands. Edit: You're mentioning this later on, but then I wonder why you say "late 90s" in the beginning? If not for World Industries, our skateboard shapes may have ended up looking different than they do today. They were THE brand all through the 90s.

Are you serious? He mentions it within the first 2 minutes. How short is your attention? This is the problem with our society. Loud mouths like you yelling things without known the full context. Pshhh

[@FadeInfinite]

Jeez get a life it’s not that serious.

[@nikokaapa]

@ just finish reading the comment before you - of all people - complain about short attention spans

@nikokaapa In the beginning of the video I was referring to World Industries being everywhere in the late 90s and early 2000s because that’s when World Industries was at its peak in mainstream popularity.
