Rob Dyrdek made it big in the reality TV scene with his three-season run of ‘Rob & Big’ on MTV. The show premiered in 2008 and followed the life of him and bestfriend/bodyguard nicknamed Big Black. The two lived in Hollywood Hills together and spent much of their time playing pranks, pulling stunts, and skateboarding (obviously).

Before, Dyrdek was a reality star though, he was better known for his professional skating career. He participated in several X Games competitions and even founded his own skateboarding competition called Street League Skateboarding. In addition, he founded a project in 2003, in which aimed to build legal skateparks and create safe places for kids to practice skating across the U.S.

Being one of the most influential skateboarders of all-time, Dyrdek also naturally partnered with DC Shoes, an American company that specializes in footwear for action sports like skateboarding and snowboarding.
