World Industries skateboard deck Skateboarding is Dead popsicle 8"
World Industries Skateboarding Is Dead Deck – 8.0"
A bold throwback to one of skateboarding’s most rebellious eras, the World Industries Skateboarding Is Dead deck brings back a graphic that perfectly captures the brand’s humour and anti-establishment attitude. Rooted in the early 1990s, the design plays on the repeated claim that skateboarding was “dead,” turning it into satire rather than taking it seriously.
Presented like a mock obituary, the graphic reflects the irreverent and often controversial direction that set World Industries apart at the time. This playful approach helped shape skate culture, proving that skateboarding was very much alive—and thriving.
This version comes in a classic popsicle shape, making it ideal for everyday skating. Built from 7-ply maple with epoxy glue, it offers strength, durability and consistent pop. The 8.0" width provides a responsive, easy-to-control setup, perfect for street skating and technical tricks.
Designed in Torrance, California, this deck blends iconic World Industries heritage with reliable modern performance.
