STEVIE WILLIAMS

wordsby rhianon bader

Of all the pro skateboarders that have come and gone, there are only a few from every era that really stand out from the others as something lasting. These few are the type that any skateboarder will look to with respect, regardless of how much they like their skating or their style. Stevie Williams has made an imprint on the skate industry in decade-plus that he’s been in the game, and he says himself: “I just want to see the next generation, to stay consistent, and finish with what I brought to the table for them.” Inspired by the likes of Michael Jordan and Jay-Z, who showed Williams how important it is to keep an overall vision of what you’re trying to do, the veteran pro and businessman is planning on maintaining his presence in the skateboard world for some time yet. The ethos that has got him this far and will carry him further is simple: “I just try to be me and be as creative as possible.”
