DGK Skateboards .. For those who come from nothing

DGK skateboardsStarted by Stevie Williams in 2002, DGK is a tribute to his humble roots. The acronym which stands for Dirty Ghetto Kids was what other skaters at Philadelphia's Love Park called Stevie and his crew because they were from the wrong side of the tracks. They took the name and branded themselves with it, not knowing that one day Stevie would turn it into a global line available everywhere from the most core skate shops to the most elite boutiques. It represents turning a negative into a positive and making something out of nothing against all odds. DGK's graphics and apparel make bold statements that differentiates the brand from everything else out there, which is why it's developed a cult following both in and out of skateboarding

DGK Presents pigeon

In honor of the new Josh Kalis and Stevie Williams Love Park decks, Kayo decided to interview a couple of the people that were highly instrumental in documenting that era – Mike Blabac and Bill Strobeck. Both Mike and Bill were at Love day in and day out with Josh and Stevie shooting photos and filming everything that went down. Given that, we knew that they would have an interesting perspective and some good insights on what skating at Love Park with Josh and Stevie was really like. As an added bonus, Bill laced us up with a quality export of Pigeon to include with this piece; this video pretty much sums how raw the Josh and Stevie combo at Love was better than anything else. Enjoy!
