Rob Dyrdek

This week i'll be talking about Rob Dyrdek, who started his skateboarding career when he was 11. He was really focused on his skating and one year after he got sponcered by the same group as Neil Blender, which they soon split apart from the group and started the Alien Workshop Skateboard Company. Rob is sponcered by Alien Workshop, DC Shoes, and Monster Energy.

Rob has had his roles in TV. He has been the star of two reality TV series, "Rob and Big" and "Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory." He also hosts "Rediculousness" which is just a knock-off of Tosh.0 and is not as popular. In one of his episodes of "Rob and Big" he broke 21 separate world records including: Consecutive front-side ollies, Ollie big spins, Consecutive nollie kickflips, 360-degree kickflips in one minute, Heel flips in one minute, Consecutive ollies, Nollie kickflips in one minute, Longest stationary manual, Switch frontside kickflips in one minute, Longest 50-50 rail grind, Longest board slide, Highest skateboard ramp jump into water, and also made the biggest skateboard ever.

Rob's good but not one of my favortes. Lets talk about PJ Ladd and Nijal Houston. Now those guys are good and know how to do the sport. Even Yella Wolf and Hopsin are good skaters go on youtube and type in yella wolf game of skate or Hopsin game of skate its sick

That's crazy that he broke all of those records in such a short amount of time. Whether you like him or not, I guess you can't deny he's talented.
