First issue was Winter 1976. Wild World never had the cred or kudos of Skateboarder, but it had a much broader palate than the mainly Los Angeles focused Skateboarder - for better and worse. Skateboarder would never have featured 'Skateboards of the Future" on a cover nor indeed Farrah Fawcett. Ran till September 1978 (as far as I know) - the September 78 issue was skate photographer Ted Terrebonne's first cover.
