His qualities are he skates and he is good at it. He is a nice and caring person. His bodyguard /roommate Big Black has set 2 records. Rob opened a free outdoor skate park for the public. He opened a skate shop for kids and teens. Dyrdek has donated many skateboards, clothes, and cars to many different charities. Those are some real heroic traits.


Rob Dyrdek has impacted me in a big way. Rob made me want to skate. So I followed through and I’m still skating to this day. Rob made me want to be as heroic as he has been to many children and adults. As a pro skater he has made me want to be as successful as him.

So in conclusion. Rob Dyrdek is not just a hero. He is my hero. He is a high-quality role model. You should look into him. It’s worth your time.
