Rob Dyrdek
What did you want to be when you were little? I wanted to be a nuclear physiatrist personally. When you were younger, your parents told you to reach for the stars and accomplish your dreams. They would say that the world was your oyster and that you could do anything. When Gene and Patty Dyrdek had their son, rob, I don’t think they knew just how far he'd go with that. Through skating, Rob Dyrdek created safe spot skate spots and his own line of clothing.

Rob Dyrdek is a skating pro and has been for over 20 years. He has built himself up out of the ground through hard work and dedication to his sport. When he started, skateboarding wasn't even considered a sport. But Rob was determined to show the world just what skating could be. He was 11 when he started skating. He received his first skateboard from pro skater Neil blender, whose sponsor chose Rob to sponsor that next year. He later turned pro at age 16 in 1991. After he turned pro, Rob and Neil left their sponsor to create the board company Alien Workshop, which Rob still owns today. In 1995 Rob joined the DC team, which was previously named droors clothing. On June 16 of 1998, the Training Facility was completed. The Training Facility is an indoor skate park that has inspired others to build things of the same nature. In 2003, Rob and “Big Black” Boykin entered the gumball 3000. The gumball is an illegal European rally car race that last for a week. Since then, Rob has been in famous magazines, had 4 TV shows, and created his own movie.

Rob has starred in 4 TV shows, of which 3 are still running. These shows include Rob & Big, Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, Ridiculousness, and Wild Grinders. Rob and Big was a show that ran from 2006 to 2008. it was the story of the day to day life of Rob and Big Black, his bodyguard, and their adventures. The show ended in April because Big Black had to leave the show when his long time girlfriend had their baby, and both guys knew it was time to move

    I never really had an answer when grown-ups asked me what I wanted to be when I was little. Did I want to be a Veterinarian? Maybe, animals are awesome. Teacher? I’d rather just learn. Astronaut? Only if they make space food tastier. Now I’m about to be one of many so-called “grown-ups” and I finally have the answer. I want to help people. I will help people. I am going to be a social worker.…

    The Wicker Bar is a pompous place that normally features two French girls singing dirty songs, though the girls don't seem to be there when Holden arrives to meet Carl Luce. Carl, who is a bit older and certainly considers himself in another planet than Holden as far as wisdom goes, comes across as a pretty stiff and snobby guy. He drinks extra-dry martinis and dismisses most of Holden's attempts at conversation, which are admittedly a bit juvenile. Holden is particularly agitated about sex in this scene, and has his first bout of homophobia, calling gay men "flits." Carl Luce apparently knows some things about girls and sex. He says, for instance, he's currently dating a foreign sculptress in her late thirties. Holden keeps trying to get some details out of him. Carl Luce refuses to answer these "typical Caulfield questions...." (pg. 146) When Holden tries to be honest and explain how the problem with his sex life is that he can't get turned on by a girl unless he really likes her, Carl advises he go to a psychoanalyst. Luce's father is a psychoanalyst, and apparently Carl has made this suggestion before.…

    The information below is to help students focus on important topics of the chapter. This study guide does not replace reading the chapter or give you exact questions. Essentially, exam questions are taken directly from information within the chapter. Without reading and studying definitions, theorists, psychological terminology and perspectives, you will have a difficult time passing my exams. You will find the application questions particularly difficult if you do not understand concepts and have not prepared adequately. Every chapter has a lot of terms including italicized words to know. I do not cover terms necessarily in the study guide below because students are expected to know these.…

    Since skateboarding has been in existence for so long it has changed to maintain popularity over time. One of the most significant changes took place in California. The "Lords of Dogtown" as they where considered would change the sport of skateboarding forever. This was a group of kids that had a very hard upbringing and relied on skateboarding as a way of expression. Many of these kids had little or no money and needed to find something to keep them out of trouble. There were three young men that where highly regarded for their modified way of skateboarding and their "bad boy" attitudes. These three were Stacey Peralta, Jay Adams, and Tony Alva. These are the men that are responsible for the new wave of skateboarders that are making debuts in today's sport.…
