The line about Guy helping Stevie when he was homeless in Cali made me think how Guy ended up in a similar situation a few years later and he’s now back on his feet too. The skate community is surprisingly good about trying to look out for each other.
STEVIE F'N WILLIAMS! the reason I skate. Walking through love park after school. Seeing him make Bam look terrible. Ctfu. Philly over here. WC over there!
The only thing is when u talked about him running away at 14 u left out the part where he went home and Kalis brought him back to skating and gave him a place to live and then he got on chocolate u made it seem like when he ran away he got put on
Levi is a true pro. How he keeps a straight face in the end part with all the athletes names is beyond me. One thing that I'm finding is weird is to get DGK decks I have to go to the mall and buy from Zumiez. If I go to my local skate shops they don't carry DGK.
I still have one of the first boards DGK put out in 04' as well as 2 shirts, when they had Kayo on the tags. My first legit skate shoe were the DC Williams. I also got to meet Stevie and get a pic with him at the Kayo Its Official tour. Legend 🙌
DGK for life! 💯 Stevie and Kalis are both skate goat's and my 2 all time favorites!! Got a Kalis love park graphic, definitely one of my all time favs!!
LOL!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 well played Shredz Shop. Well played. I normally log off before this part of the vid. But fate have it, for some reason I made it to the end. 👍 Now this vid must be shared. Cheers 🥂 Btw. Steve Williams is not just my favorite DGK rider. But Favorite skater and business man in the skateboard industry.
👍 you cats pulling through with some good shit on another rainy Saturday. Gimme at least 10 minutes of skate nerd goodness. In dgk fashion "gimme a hot minute of straight fire homie"
One of the first things I ever saw in a skate mag was Stevie Williams doing a switch heel over a table. Sometime in 2001, I believe. It was definitely an interview. Maybe that Thrasher with Ed Templeton on the cover that had the Ed Templeton retrospective? Stevie Williams has always been one of my favorite skaters since then, even though I was always more into the punk rock side of skating because I was already into punk rock. Hip hop culture was so different from what I was already into, but at the same time it was still skateboarding, so it was really just like a breath of fresh air that there was this whole other side of things I didn't have access to with punk rock alone. With skateboarding there's a vast spectrum of different countercultures represented. I always felt I couldn't just listen to rap before I got into skateboarding. Of course I could have, I was just still caught up in the whole rocker vs. rapper dumb middle school shit. My new skater friends listened to everything because everything was in skate videos. Skateboarding helped me to relate to a much wider range of people with different backgrounds and mentalities, and I love it for that. Edit: yep, there's that photo: 1:23
That's rad! Thanks for sharing the story! Yea I wanna say that is in a old Skateboarder mag with the Switch heel. I definitely remember that photo blowing my mind as well, that Chocolate kinda soccer logo deck!
GOLD WHEEL CO made the best wheels right at the end they were called white golds they were widish and 104 duro , wish I knew where they were made , Shanahan is one my faves on DGK rides for Bronze 56K too
My first board was a kalis “seek” board, it had green checkers. Not sure if that was his brand before or after alien workshop. Wish I could find another one, I absolutely destroyed it cause it was my only board for years as a kid then I cut it into a cruiser haha. So many memories with that board
I’ve got that board you’re talking about. Kalis was on Alien from 95-2002, then joined Seek til late 2004, then went back to Alien after Seek went out of business.
@@PhilLayshioh that’s awesome! Someone just gave me the deck for free I remember going to the local shop getting royal trucks and Tony hawk wheels, think it had lime green grip at one point 😂 chipped like crazy
My favorite DGK rider is Steve William,but I meet Chad MUSKA at 2018 Long Beach Trade show he was making hos own company GrimReaper Called Projects I took a picture and him and he sign my red Projects hat on the led says MUSKA.
My name is Derek Gant and I grew up with Jonas Wray and his brother Jeremy Wray I loved skating with these guys ... I rode BMX and dirt bikes amongst street raced cars I built .... I loved riding with Mike the Rooftop Escamilla and that's been my life... I want to bring DGK back and open sponsors in BMX and FMX as well.... After all I'm Derek Gant and you are all my kids!! (DGK) I'm in Oregon but can be mobile let me know if I could help DGK become the thing to wear again and something everyone wants to be a part of again!!
Can you guys make a video about a sorta pro model by Pa'din Musa Vans model the first Malaysian to get a model from Vans which is yellow and black which two different shoe which is the old skool and the era
If DGK could steal any skater past or present who should they steal for the DGK team?! ALSO: Who is your fav DGK team rider of all time.
Cookiehead Jenkins on DGK
Do one on Primitive please
Lava mcbride for rider and rodrigo tx he always been a beast
Prod might’ve been good fit for DGK back in the day. Keenan was maybe my fav
wade desarmo rightfully belongs to dgk

Yea, we coulda touched on that more! It's hard to fit everything in!
The “comment of the week” response was a banger! LOL
XD XD

Both josh kalis and Stevie Williams dope asf
The Love park legends.
I just wanna say RIP Expedition One
Definitely and Organika!
Stevie is one of the best switch skaters of all time
I still have one of the first boards DGK put out in 04' as well as 2 shirts, when they had Kayo on the tags. My first legit skate shoe were the DC Williams. I also got to meet Stevie and get a pic with him at the Kayo Its Official tour. Legend 🙌
So dope!! DC has been re-releasing those Wlliams shoes in a slimmed down version and they actually look really good.
stevie looks just like kader- same kind of ferociousness in the eyes- you shoulda talked about his kickflip in the Three 6 Mafia video
I feel like Guy Mariano and Jeron Wilson woulda been dope on DGK back in the day.
Fav DGK rider of all time is DGKWADE!!!!
Love Wade D!
One of my favorite skaters at DGK is Jackson Curtin. His Nollie Frotnside Noseblunt Slide for a intro banger to It's Official says it all.
Jack Curtin always had the dopest sw back smith. So much style
DGK for life! 💯 Stevie and Kalis are both skate goat's and my 2 all time favorites!! Got a Kalis love park graphic, definitely one of my all time favs!!
The ending is so good. A happy one…Neverland…spicy comment response.
LOL!!!!

Glad you've got love for Stevie!
Jack Curtin was in the original line up of DGK as well as the whole RBK deal
Man Stevie Williams so huge on all his tricks love watching him skate DGK 4 life
Parental advisory was the first skate tape I ever watched, from there it was history. Been hooked ever since.
That’s a rad first video! 👊🏻
@@ShredzShop shame Fernandez had to try and chase SoundCloud rapping. He was my first fav skater.
@@HauntedMound666 Yea, I think he had some trouble with the law and got a little shunned in the skate world.
@@ShredzShop Word? I never knew that, thought he just dropped out from DGK just to rap
👍 you cats pulling through with some good shit on another rainy Saturday. Gimme at least 10 minutes of skate nerd goodness. In dgk fashion "gimme a hot minute of straight fire homie"

GOLD WHEEL CO made the best wheels right at the end they were called white golds they were widish and 104 duro , wish I knew where they were made , Shanahan is one my faves on DGK rides for Bronze 56K too
Are you still going to do aesthetics or 23 skateboards?
Yea Aesthetics would be sick!! We’ll have to line up an interview for it! Some of the older brands are hard to find information on.
DGK is where its at
Do a 14 on Element or Bam Margera/Element
My first board was a kalis “seek” board, it had green checkers. Not sure if that was his brand before or after alien workshop. Wish I could find another one, I absolutely destroyed it cause it was my only board for years as a kid then I cut it into a cruiser haha. So many memories with that board

Do Ipath!!
haha I would need to hunt down someone that can help with some interview on Ipath!
Never forget 211. Also the donger skated for puma
Ooooof Donger was the best
since you already did airwalk, maybe you can do more "dead" brands (e.g. adio)?
Adio shoes were so comfortable to skate in

Good work
But i would like to know why Lima, Curtin and Rivas « left « the team
I wonder what happened with Lenny Rivas.
during a time Kayo didnt pay the pro's.. i guess buisness was bad..that's why a bunch of rider quit not only DGK but Expedition as well. ✌✌
@@alexthip2056 yupp, DGK was able to recuperate except Expedition one which ended soon after in like 2017
Do big brother mag
That'd be rad!
