"Rob Dyrdek is beyond characterization; he is not a personality who can be simplified into a sound bite. Besides a long and influential career as a professional skateboarder, Rob is also a TV star, a filmmaker, a serial entrepreneur, a marketing whiz, and a multi-faceted philanthropist dedicated to supporting skateboarding. Rob Dyrdek has leveraged his creativity, business savvy, and professional skateboard career in order to launch a long list of non-profit foundations, innovative businesses, and noteworthy productions in film and television. This includes the introduction of safe and legal Skate Plazas through the Rob Dyrdek/DC Shoes Skate Plaza Foundation, a children's toy line, Wild Grinders, a feature film production titled Street Dreams, the widely distributed brands Rogue Status, Silver Trucks, and Reflex Bearings, and of course the wildly successful MTV programs Rob & Big and Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. With almost 20 years as a professional skateboarder, Mr. Dyrdek's illustrious career is a rare exception to the short-lived nature of being a professional athlete. In fact, many might say it is his position as a life-long skateboarder that has provided the backdrop for his innovative approach to business, entertainment, and life in general. Once viewed as social outcasts, Dyrdek embodies the rebellious stance skateboarders are known to have against the status quo. He has utilized this position to his advantage, however, by disregarding the conventions put in place by the corporate class and persistently pursuing his dreams, regardless of how far-fetched they seem to outsiders." | |
