Chris Warner aka “Chickenhawk” has been riding for WK since its inception in 1998. Chris has been ripping vert and bowls for years along with filming and editing. He has donated all his time for free in video productions for Wounded Knee and the All Nations Skate Jams. He has a big heart and is a good soul and it is an honor to have ” Hawk” a part of this WK Movement.

Chris “Merk” Mearkle has also been with WK since 1998 and has been a dedicated skater for years since he started building vert ramps. Being the son of a Korean War Veteran, Merk was the one who brought up the subject of coming out with the “We Remember Ira Hayes” board in order to honor this modern- day warrior who served this country. Merk is a skatepark builder who has dedicated his life, body and soul to skateboarding and is Dedicated to the Pride!

“Americans have a lot of misconceptions about what went on with the people who settled here first and prospered in this country. What we can do for the native youth is try to get some skateparks, give them positive role models, hook up the kids on the reservations, show them you can take it elsewhere and maintain your warrior spirit through the modern means of skateboarding. Through this positive activity, it can help teach them not to succumb to a lot of the societal illnesses we have in the modern world like violence, drugs and alcohol.” ­ Doug Moore aka SGT. SK8

Tim “Big Tim” Klemonsky has also been with WK since 1998, and has always skated tough. Big Tim grew up skating in Simsbury Connecticut and hasn’t stopped since. He too has dedicated his body and soul to skateboarding and builds skateparks when the work is there. With smooth strong style and east coast pride, Tim has demonstrated how skateboarding can bring you through life’s toughest challenges and can keep you alive!
