Rob Dyrdek - Skateboarding Savior Rob Dyrdek, entrepreneur, has begun building skate parks for kids that can’t skate in the town/city. He builds these with the help of the towns’s/city’s building team, telling them what to build and where to build. Rob knows these skate parks from inch to inch all the way across. Rob looks for places to build, finding out why kids can’t skate places, what the skaters there like, and how he can keep them off the streets, and out of trouble. He calls this project, “Safe Spot, Skate Spot.” The first Safe Spot Skate Spot was opened on February 24th, 2009 in Lafayette Park, Los Angeles. So far, these skate spots have taken over 100 skaters off the streets, and out of trouble. So all you skaters out there, “Stay inspired! That’s the key to life and success in anything.” - Rob Dyrdek.
