World Industries is working with Steve Rocco to re-introduce some of the most significant parts of the World story, starting with an extremely limited, numbered screen print run of four early-day classics: Steve Rocco's Rocco III, Jesse Martinez's Rock'Em Sock'Em, Jef Hartsel's Yout' Model and Rodney Mullen's Bear.
Every board comes in its original shape and was hand screen printed at Screaming Squeegees. Each one comes with giclée prints: the graphic, signed by Steve Rocco, and the story of the rider and the board as told by Rocco, finished with an embossed World Industries seal. These are very limited and numbered. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Steve Rocco: Rocco III (1990)
The man who started it all. Rocco III is a horned bear in a World Industries tee, trident in hand, swapping hunny for munny. In Rocco's words: "It's Winnie the Pooh gone evil." He tells the story in the video.

Rodney Mullen: Bear (1991), the last freestyle board
Rounding out the four: Rodney Mullen's final freestyle board. Released in 1991, it officially ended freestyle boards at World. Rocco knew the freestyle model was going away and was pushing Rodney into street skating, so he calls this graphic "just sort of a send-off." Rocco breaks down the why in the video.

- Hand screen printed, limited and numbered
