The current riders are Stevie Williams, Marcus McBride as pros, and Jackson Curtin, Wade DesArmo (anglicised from Wade Des Ormeaux), and Lenny Rivas as ams[2]. The DGK team had video parts in the Kayo video, It's Official, and (with the exception of Wade DesArmo) they also all had footage in the Gold Wheels Got Gold? DVD edition.

The name Dirty Ghetto Kids originally came form an infamous talented tagging crew of Philly. The "Dirty Ghetto Kids" refered the area of Philly they grew up in as North Illadelphia, West Philthy. It was on these urban streets, that a young 10 year old, Stevie Williams was first seen terrorising the streets on a skateboard. He had a rough upbringing after this, leaving home to pursue skating, but he came out in the end.
