DERRE ROARK’S RYSE
THROUGH FINGERBOARDING, ART, & COMMUNITY

Derre “Dare” Roark has been rolling since he was four. Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Dare grew up skating and never let it go. By high school, fingerboarding showed up as a way to stay connected to skating, messing with Tech Decks in class, dreaming of the real thing. Fast forward to 2023, and he jumped back into fingerboarding with serious intent.

Today, Dare is Pro for Ryse Fingerboards, rocking five pro model decks and serving as team manager. He also designs graphics for Ryse and collaborates with other brands, blending his love for skateboarding, art, and design into everything he touches.

One of his most memorable moments? Hosting an event with Pager.one and Hawaii.FB at the iconic This FB shop, a packed sesh that brought the community together and left a mark.

Between managing the Ryse team, working on graphics, and helping shape future collabs, Dare stays busy pushing the culture forward. His eye for design and feel for skate roots keep his work authentic, from the parks to the product.
