All Day !!!!
“John Wayne just kidnapped a little black kid from the hood” 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Bout to get us to california on a horse lol
Personally, this is like "the last dance" of skateboarding for me. Grew up wanting to be this dude and to hear his story is just amazing. Still remember his part in "the reason" and also "the dc video". Stevie at the top of his game. Always been a solid dude who forever kept it real. So glad he's getting his shine. Truly the GOAT for me. Kalis a real one too!
Kinda makes the new generation look so boring right!?
The Reason... Everything switch in that video. Reason I started skating switch.
Smashley WHAT EGO?? Dude is the most laid back guy frm philly
Word shout out to Kalis!
Represents what friendship should be about and how teamwork make the dream work
same here man.
So thankful to grow up in this era and witness real people getting there love and respect 💯
Came for Stevie, stayed for Susan. What a cool Mother.
Anybody else just quietly shed some tears while watching this? It felt so good :)
Especially his reaction when Love got torn down. Such an iconic park for skateboarding, I was lucky enough to skate there a few times back in the day, and it sucks so much that it is basically nothing now.
I definitely did
Man, I believe if most would have known what "DGK" meant back then, it would've sold more.
Yup
This was so beautiful. I love it. What a fighter, and he's trying to help others go for their goals too. Amazing style, and amazing human being. I respect Stevie forever.
growing up in the hood ... i remember being blown away in the early 90's when I first saw Stevie in a skate video .... i remember thinking like "wow, he looks like me ... and his skate style is unparalleled ... soul on a skateboard" ... that meant so much just to see him ... the inspiration ... that I had a place in skateboarding ... thanks Stevie!!! This documentary is so dope ... thanks for sharing your story and inspiring me in my youth
Watching this made me start skating again. I was good around 2001-2014. Got bad into opiates and completely lost my will to skate. Sober now and getting back into who I am. Stevie's story has inspired me
💯💯💯
KEEP ON PUSHING BRO!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 SKATEBOARDING LOVES YOU 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Keep on pushing my brother!!!!! Sending you love from Houston Texas!!!!
I've been on and off heroin since I was 16 (24 now) the worst is going to jail or rehab and you cant skate. Hardest days of my life. Realizing what you love and care about, when its too late.
Yo how's the skating?!
His switch pop is unmatched till this day IMO
facts
Tiago lemos and Alex carolino both have really good ones up there with his
@@rastaskate4546 very true
The Boss would agree
Yep can't argue with that
this was great. stevie has always been so inspirational but man this made me so appreciative for everything he has done! keep doing you stevie!! makes me proud to be a black skater!
I'm proud to be white
@@dieseldabz7104 don’t start with that bs
This makes me proud to be white too!
@@DISCORDDER what's a matter?
Been riding DGK since 03.... first video I ever saw was dc video..stevie always stood out to me...my first board was jackson curtain first pro deck...
The pop shuvit rewind on his DC part was so ill you can’t beat Stevie’s style and flow
revert but close
That was one of the most heart touching skate films I have ever seen
This documentary is dope
X-Games should make these about more OG skaters. Hearing it from them is inspiring! 🤘
Yeah, and cut down on the number of ads. Had to switch to the laptop with Adblock to get through it
@@idmhead0160 That sucks. Same on this radio channel I always listen to, Coast to Coast AM. It's like conspiracy weirdos I listened to since high school. Sooomany ADS.
@@WolfWould Generally, TH-cam is considerably better than cable or broadcast TV. You can skip most of the ads. I've noticed some channels seem to insert a ton of ads intentionally though. This one is about the worst that I've seen. I skated in the 80s and got out of it for a couple decades and never knew who Stevie Williams was until recently. Pretty awesome dude. Makes me proud to be a skater with regard to what he said about all races coming together.
Great work. There have been a few Stevie docs over the years, this was definitely the best. DGK ALL DAY
This really pisses me off n makes me sad that the f-ing city council of philly jus wudnt give up love park to the skaters. Thats some BS.
One of the most humble dudes in all of skating. And forever will be a legend.
One time there was a huuuuge banner in the old town in my city of Stevie for Reebok - Gdańsk in Poland:)
DGKALLDAY!!!
Kalis and Stevie are the realest! So sick to see them come up togethwr and sticking together with their friends / community
Amazing human being, phenomenal skater, impeccable style, what more can you ask for?
Coloca legenda em PT-BR por favor, os Brasileiros são um dos maiores fans da DGK
Brought some tears to my eyes 🥺, Naw fr tho stevie and kalis will always be Living Legends!
I love you, Stevie. Always was mesmerized watching your parts. This was a really fun watch.
This is such an inspiring story, I love DGK!
Legend
"He learned in one day how to ollie"... lol! SWEET!
Congratulations STEVIE, true Legend, greetings from Argentina South America
I lived this era...straight up outta sin city, we loved Steve's swag. We were riding mx, bmx, skateboarding, writing graff, making music whatever but we all supported each other through love and encouragement! Thanks dgk
the ads are so annoying but pretty dope documentary need more of this!
From Rags to Riches! Cool story about Stevie!😎
Stevie is the man! Remember watching that wheel of fortune in 411 with the Lords of the Underground song over and over. Shout out from Sweden!
Man this gave me so much nostalgia. I grew up idolizing Kalis & Stevie...Gino & Keenan...there was something special in skateboarding around that time. What a beautiful journey Stevie has had.
Its crazy, because I just gave the lil homie a dgk deck
So inspirational. You can tell Stevie was hungry for that break his whole life. I love how his story represents the true meaning of never giving up and believing in yourself. Work ethic and persistence gave him the life he deserves
Anyone know the instrumental during the story about John Wayne and traveling across the country?
No, but it reminds me of Sergio Leone
Shout-out to his moms. Need good support.
Big hola from Russian's far east! Much love and respect to all the people who makes other people's dreams to become true! One LOVE and peace..!
his first trick. nose manual to revert nose manual to nollie tre out.....LEGEND
This gave me so much motivation when I move in two weeks across the country I can be my self
Stevie, your legacy is such an inspiration to me and so many... I relate so fking much, it’s unreal! Hoping to meet you one day, share my story so far, skate and talk business! This is coming from an up and coming black owned skate brand... love! 🖤
Grew up watching videos of Stevie and Josh skating at Love and i would pause and rewind and try to copy the trick they was doing.. Stevie was and has been truely inspirational in my life growing up skateboarding!!!!
Amazing
Man as a skateboarder in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 this man was and still is one of my inspirations!! DGK all day!
One love from Russia! Indeed DGK was dope since day one! Stevie was loved since day one... Remember watching his vhs parts over and over again. What a great short film! Super stoked! One love to yo all
I love my city, but skateboarding making me fall in love all over again. Stevie a pioneer! skateboarding good in the hood cuz of stevie
“If you make it out the hood, you gotta go back!” 🙏🏾
How you gonna claim philly...
When you come from nothing?😎
One of the most inspirational people alive.thank you for what you’ve done for skateboarding Stevie❤️💪
Stevie Williams is the truth and very moving,respect and coming back and rising, the Allen Iverson of the Skateboard sport,the real Rocky for real
growing up me and my cuz being the only skaters in our hood....we looked up to Stevie big time. Forever love and respect 💯
Always thought of Love Park as the East coast version of EMB.
Great comparison.
I love your attitude 🔥🔥🔥
If leaving Chocolate is like leaving the Lakers then maybe Jereme Rogers leaving Girl was like leaving the Bulls in Jordans prime?
lol yes
If you add some face tats and Mickey mouse rapping in the mix then yes. Swag uh.
I like Jereme I follow him and his antics. His skating was pretty amazing. Although on KOTR I was surprised that he was scared of the pool tile. I am just thinking how the whole OG Girl team has been paid and taken care of since forever and why would you lose that check and board sponsor. Stevie obviously had a plan so he did well. I honestly feel bad for Jereme I don't hate on him I just comment for him to skate more and post that. I wonder if he tried to go back to Girl ever....
It's always been a dream of mine to meet you guys, inspired me to skate and destroy, 25yrs still ridin dirrty! DGK keep on rollin!! peace love
I've idolized You Stevie Williams since I was 10 years old.
Being a skater from Philly in that era (93-99) I got to skate with so many incredible people. I remember the first time I met Stevie and being blown away by his raw talent as such a younger kid. I remember not seeing him there for a while and hearing he just up and left for San Fran, and being blown away. That’s the type of risk you gotta take to get your break in life no matter what the job/ circumstances are if you want to be a success. I’m glad he had so much success in life. If anyone deserves it it’s him. It’s also amazing and humbling to hear how much he’s done for the community and skateboarding as a whole. Mad props bro! Keep on living the dream.
I wish Kareem Campbell would have kept it up like Stevie! They would both be at the top still! =).
Imagine that racism goes both ways...
I've never seen a longer commercial in my entire life.
i never wanted to keep watching a commercial in my life
Not known for his frontside flip, but he's got easy top ten 180 flip.
Amazing 🔥
Crazy, much respect to Stevie
Mad respect to Stevie for all his success and keeping it real after all these years. Awesome to see him give back to the kids to help them see another side to life and having fun skating!
My name on TH-cam has been dgk for almost 20yrs love that brand
I love these types of films man so intensely inspiring for anyone and everyone
Blacks and whites unite over skating forever!!
One of my favs ....all time. Him and kalis...
He was def a GOOD skater...but the GOAT?? Lets run a Dae Won video real quick!!!
Don't make this a "MY goat is better than YOUR goat" thing. Just appreciate the impact he made to skateboarding and to countless kids (and grown folk) who saw themselves in him. This isn't about Daewon (certified Skate God in his own right) or anyone else. Just appreciate Stevie or keep it moving. Come on now.
the goats sit at a round table lol and stevie is up there
he’s why ppl like Shane O’neil exist pushing tech, flip in flip outs, etc , gots respect everyone who did they duty to push skating
I’ve been waiting for this for so long
16:15 look at that...... the most laziest, speediest, effortless, ahead of his time, tre flip nose. Most certainly a throw away clip. I've watched every clip and documentary on this guy and am now seeing this. Geezaz. By all technicality.... he did a drop down treflip nose blunt.... 90s era.....
😍
Stevie and Josh legends!
Everyone had the DC Williams, I remember having a friend that skated through at least 4 or 5 pairs.
He’s like the Iverson of skateboarding
thank's for all influence bro , you and your skateboard crew saved my life , skateboard 4ever
I dont understand how Steve Williams can be so racist against other races but be looked at as a role model....are his contributions to skateboarding a hall-pass to act like that?
Plus the whole history of bullying and robbing from kids.
DGK all day and UGK for life! Trillest
Unpopular opinion Kalis was better than Stevie
DGK ALL DAY HOMIES🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this inspired me to go out and SKATE!
Saw Rasoul last week in LA.
We suppose to link up and skate
Growing up in Philly early 00’s when Stevie had already gained crazy popularity, being love park king and beiny on Tony Hawks games he made anybody living here don’t matter black or white, feel like you could really be somebody with skating coming from here which was hated and looked down on by most adults and ALL authority. Philly Phinest man the golden boy from down north
necesitamos traduccion en español tambien muchos skaters de habla hispana queremos enterarnos de estas historias del skateboarding mundial
dgk all day
Didn't they tear down LOVE park?
Ye i think so
Yea the new park is made for u not to skate it sad rip to the old love park and city hall and rat curb and subzero
EAST COAST STAND UP!!!! This touched me deeply being a man who grew up in the hood and skated before it was accepted. we had to be an outcast for the love of the board . Glad we had guys like this too look up to and show closed minded folks whats really good.
his story never gets old, mad love
So inspiring to see stevie come back to the skate world was missing a peace of the puzzle with him out the sk8 scene
this doc is long overdue. thank you stevie for all you do for skateboarding!
Steve wont fight me!!!!
When you’re a kid following your dreams all that is, is doing what it takes to get where you want to be...he’s forever goated!
So crazy. I didn’t know anything about Stevie’s SF struggles. I met Stevie at Pier 7 when I was 12 and skating in the city on weekends. He asked me for a cigarette. I gave him one. I had seen him in 411VM #8 or #9, I can’t remember now, but I knew who he was and he was one of my favorite skaters then even, just from that 411VM WOF part. This must’ve been about 1994 I’m guessing. And I remember Profile too. Karl Watson threw a deck off the pier at Pier 7, and one of the little fat kids who went with us to the city to skate stripped down and jumped into the water to get it. Karl was laughing. Gave him a set of wheels too I think. But Stevie was already a legend and I saw him a few more times down at 7 hanging with Pat, York, Sanchez, Watson, and I think Brad Johnson. Those times were so magical for me. I was 12, in love with skating, and the city just kinda amplified my passion, pushed me to skate better. A few years later, I spoke to Karl Watson on the phone. I was in FTC and Karl called to tell the shop to save him one of his pro models. Either Andy or Joey told him, sorry Karl, some kid just bought it. Karl said, “put him on the phone”. Hilarious. He was stoked to hear I bought his board and asked me where I was skating. He said to meet him down at Pier 7 later and we’d skate together, so I did, and we did. I think I told him the Profile story where he threw the deck into the bay and my friend dove in. He laughed. I was trying so hard to get in with those guys then, but it was clicky. I was a peripheral kid in the city. I was pretty decent around 95/6 and getting a little more notice. But then life happened, girls, weed, booze, driving permit. But it’s crazy hearing Stevie talk about it, cause I thought he was being taken care of by sponsors and for me, it was like magical and inspiring to even see him there.
Still rember first time I saw him in the Chocolate Tour video, with Big L size em up as the song he was my instant favorite.
This just inspired me like CRAZY. 🛹 gave me hope and reignited my passion for creating my own skateboards again. Working on a “new style” of skating, or rather my own style that’s inspired by steetdance , this just reminded me to never give up.
Amazing!. Thank you Stevie for your inspiration and also thank you X Games for this classic ❣
This hit hard man! Beautiful story
Really just a good example of believing and fostering that dream and I'm happy to see Stevie do his thing cause that was my dream at one point...
yeeeeeeeah, Stevie is the realest skater we've ever seen
