Steve Rocco's return to skateboarding through the Sidewalk Distribution vassal was teased a little while ago, but it's been relative radio silence since that announcement.

Until right now. 

Rocco is back, and the result is four genuine re-issues of legendary skateboards from the earliest days of the World Industries hegemony. Better yet, they're available right now at Boardworld.

What can we say? It's a perfect re-introduction for the iconic brand, with the untouchable Rocco III leading the pack alongside Jef Hartsel's Yout Model from 1990, the Jesse Martinez Rock 'Em Sock 'Em board from 1989, and Rodney Mullen's Bear freestyle model – one of the last freestyle boards produced at the time, before Rodney started toying with double kick popsicles – from late 1990. 

All boards are of course constructed from 100% North American Maple, individually pressed, and each with the 6-hole truck pattern of the era. 

Need we go on? These World Industries re-issues are available now in very limited quantities, with fast and free shipping from Boardworld. We'll even throw in free grip. Once they're sold, that's it – no restocks or re-releases! 

Long live the Exalted Ruler.
