Rob Dyrdek has a foundation called "Safe Spot Skate Spot." This foundation raises money to build street style skate spots that are in public places but legal to skate at. Rob Dyrdek is also a very good role model for young and older skate boarders. Rob is a very successful individual. He is sponsored by Monster Energy, DC Shoes, and Alien Work shop. He also has had three different TV series. He is also a good person to people he doesn't even know. For example he has took one or two people and asked them what their fantasies were. One of the people wanted to throw pies at Cris Drama Pfaff (Rob's cousin).
