About DGK

Stevie Williams grew up in the streets of Philadelphia, where he learned to skate. He and his friends would get together and skate at the LOVE Park and called themselves the “Dirty Ghetto Kids” back in the 1990s. The Reason and the ON Video Series have even documented some of their best moments.

With the opening of DGK skate brand, Stevie wanted to create something that would exceed the public’s expectations.  According to him, he did not think twice about naming the company. DGK was built upon the Gold skateboard wheels brand that Stevie owned with his friend, Eli Soto. Today, DGK is known worldwide, with skateboarders from different communities embracing their similarities through DGK skateboards and shirts.

Josh Kalis, one of Stevie’s skateboarder friends from Philadelphia, joined the DGK team in September of 2009. It was then followed by the recruitment of Rodrigo Teixeira in December 2010, after he left his Flip Skateboards team. Rodrigo explained that he departed from his previous team to be with DGK because they were interested in the same things.

From then on, their team grew, and they even started collaborations with other companies like the Zero Skateboards Company of Jamie Thomas, wherein they released multiple projects and completed U.S. tours together. DGK was also successful enough to open an indoor training facility called “Da Playground,” where the DGK team would mostly skate.

This team of passionate skaters won the “Best Team” award at the 15th Annual Transworld Skateboarding Awards. Other than that, the company continues to grow and produce products and videos that remind skateboarders that their sport is about having fun, and not the difficult tricks they see online.
