Steve Rocco and Mike Vallely in Nine Club
Steve Rocco and Mike Vallely discuss Mike’s move from Independent Trucks to Venture Trucks. Mike left Powell Peralta for World Industries after signing a 10-year contract, with Rocco offering World Industries shares to Mike and Rodney Mullen. Rodney Mullen introduced Mike to the Barnyard shape, which Mike hated and whose graphics he didn’t understand. Also covered are the different World Industries logos, the lawsuit filed against Steve by Disney and Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, and the moment when Mark Gonzalez and Mike wore UCLA gear at the Savannah Slamma. Also includes Rocco’s “Out with the old, in with the new” ad after Mike left World Industries, and much more!
