Born in Kettering, Ohio in 1974, Rob's childhood was a far cry away from the skate and surf culture that was popular in Southern California at the time. At the age of 12, Rob picked up a skateboard for the first time. Within a month, he won his first competition and became the youngest member of the G&S skateboard team. At an early age it was clear that Rob demonstrated the powerful combination of work ethic and natural ability. Forgoing his senior year of high school, Dyrdek became a professional skateboarder at the age of 16 while simultaneously becoming one of the founding members of the legendary Ohio-based Alien Workshop skateboard team. The year was 1991, and at the time skateboarding was no longer a focus in mainstream culture as it once was in the late 1980s. As such, the companies and professional skaters that remained proved to be the most loyal and dedicated supporters of the sport. Embodying this dedication, Rob would skate harder than ever for his first high-profile video part the very same year. It was Alien Workshop's first film, titled Memory Screen, and through it Rob's skating gained notoriety, his part in the video having including both advanced handrail skating and the more technical street tricks that were just then evolving as part of the sport. To continue his professional career, Rob moved to San Diego in 1994 to become more visible in the skateboarding world and to be closer to the center of the industry. From there, Rob would go on to film prominent skateboarding parts in 411VM, Alien Workshop's Time Code, and Photosynthesis.
A NO TRESPASSING SIGN hangs on a chain in front of Rob Dyrdek’s Hollywood Hills home like a blunter, more imposing version of a velvet rope. As I approach, Dyrdek happens to be on his way down the front stairs that lead to the street He squints, cocks his head, and looks me in the eye with mistrust until I ntroduce myself, then extends his bling- ringed hand, and leads me into the garage .
“Some kid came here the other day with his parents, and rang the doorbell for like 45 minutes until I came down,” he says. “I had to say to his parents, ‘What kind of parent lets their kid ring someone’s doorbell for 45 minutes?”‘ Hence the new sign. Since Rob and Big, the reality show starring Dyrdek and his bodyguard Christopher Boykin a.k.a. “Big Black” premiered on MTV two years ago, the house-the show’s primal set-As become a destination for fans. Dyrdek has now finished with the show (“I’ve never been so happy in my life,” he says about having shot the final episode a few weeks ago) and is moving on to a new project for which he has a little more enthusiasm: designing and building a network of skate spots around Los Angeles.

We walk upstairs, past the entryway with the billiards table and the ATM machine (yes, an Atm machine to the upper level with the pool “he bottom of which is painted with frescos of Dyrdek and Big as Greek Gods) and into the kitchen with the fridge full A Muster energy drinks (one of Dyrdek’s numerous sponsors). Here, Meat, Dyrdek’s feisty omnivorous bulldog, has his teeth sunk firmly into a beach towel.
Dyrdek’s phone won’t stop ringing. “I gotta take this fuckin’ call it’s fuckin’ Fox,” he says, putting in his earpiece and heading to the backyard to talk about a new television show. When he returns, he shows me some of the renderings of the sites on his digital camera. Speaking excitedly, in a series of rapid-fire monologues like a guy whose lips can barely move fast enough to keep up with his breakneck-speed brain, he lays out his plan. “In the past I built this giant $700,000 plaza, “he begins, referring to the legendary skate park he built in his hometown of Kettering, Ohio. “I designed that plaza myself, to the millimeter. It took three years, and the problem was it goes through all this red tape and community meetings and council meetings and it has to go out to bid…” So Dyrdek realized there might be fewer headaches in trying to develop anetwork of small skate plazas all over the city.

As part of his presentation to the city council, Dyrdek brought in a four-foot high basketball hoop with a bent rim and twisted backboard and rhetorically posited if one could play basketball on it. The answer was, of course, ‘yes.’ “But is this the way basketball’s meant to be played?” Dyrdek asked them. “No,” came the response, “it isn’t.” Surprisingly, the city was immediately responsive to Dyrdek’s idea.
“It’s been a dream come true,” says Dyrdek. “As soon as I made contact with the one main dude, and he sat down with all the architects and city planners, he said `We have 400 parks, and we’ll do a spot in every single one.”‘ Dyrdek’s goal is to build a skate spot in each of L.A.’s 15 districts, enabling him to essentially create one giant skateboarding network in Los Angeles. Southern California is the epicenter of the entire skateboarding business,” he says. “All the money, all the pros, everything; and yet no one is doing anything. All they do is worry about their sales… nobody cares about the fact that skateboarding is just so fucked. You got shit like the X Games and the Mountain Dew tour and all this shit that has nothing to do with skateboarding, and you have all these peoplebuilding these shit skate parks-concrete eyesores with fences around ‘em.”
