With ‘Fantasy Factory,’ I want to take skating beyond the Tony Hawk generation and represent the street-skating generation. – Rob Dyrdek
One of the best things to me about ‘Skate’ is that if you play this game from beginning to end, you just got a complete education on what skateboarding is. – Rob Dyrdek
The reality of professional skateboarding contests is that they’re not relevant in our world. – Rob Dyrdek
DC and Monster have always supported my vision for street skateboarding, from building skate plazas throughout the world to now creating the first-ever professional skateboarding league. – Rob Dyrdek
No matter what I do, how much money I make, where I live, or what kind of car I drive, the stuff I skateboard on is the same stuff that every other kid in L.A., every kid in the country, everybody in the world is skateboarding on. – Rob Dyrdek
As I’ve evolved, I’m capable of doing a lot of things at once, but really, as an entrepreneur and business person, it’s more about adding the right structure to be able to handle scaling all those things as opposed to being at the forefront of doing a lot of them. – Rob Dyrdek
The evolution of the plaza always came from the idea of just a really good place to ride a skateboard that you could ride at anytime, and that’s what the foundation always stands for – being a place that’s free, open and legal… for those that are technical, to do really hard stuff, and for those who are learning, to just have fun. – Rob Dyrdek
No one can fathom that the top 200 pro street skaters run from cops on the weekends and use a generator and lights to light up a handrail at 2 in the morning to get a trick that’s going to be in an advertisement that will be shown around the world. – Rob Dyrdek
‘Wild Grinders’ becoming an animated series, and airing on Nicktoons is another one of my boyhood dreams come true. I came up with the name when I was eleven years old, when I needed a name for my first skate crew – who knew it would turn into such a mega brand? – Rob Dyrdek
California just does not remotely embrace the fact that it’s where skateboarding itself was birthed and where 90% of the industry is. – Rob Dyrdek
The way skateboarding contests were in the past was like going to a basketball game and being told at the end of the game what the score was and who won. Think about how unengaging that would be if you didn’t know who was ahead or if it was a close game. – Rob Dyrdek
