Stevie Williams Skateboard Setup (2026)

Stevie Williams is an American professional skateboarder and entrepreneur from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, born December 17, 1979. He grew up skating at LOVE Park where he and his friends were dismissed by established skaters who called them "dirty ghetto kids," a phrase Williams later reclaimed. He hitchhiked from Philadelphia to California at 14 with no money and built his career through persistence, landing spots on the Chocolate Skateboards and DC Shoes teams after appearing in the 1999 Zoo York video Heads. He founded Dirty Ghetto Kids (DGK) Skateboards through Kayo Corp in 2002, which became one of the most culturally significant skateboard brands of the 2000s and one of the few Black-owned companies in the industry. Transworld named him the 27th most influential skateboarder of all time. He also founded the Asphalt Yacht Club clothing brand.
