Guiness World Records

He doesn't just hold a couple of records, in 2008 he actually broke 21 Guiness World Records about skating on a single day.--92.228.27.70 (talk) 01:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well... it wasnt in 2008, it was in 2007, actually 17 September 2007. The show just aired in 2008.--85.180.227.185 (talk) 04:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added and referenced the record info in the article. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:34, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements

Sectioned the page, added a picture from wiki commons, and added a few problem tags for people with better knowledge of the subject to address. [[::User:Duchess of Bathwick|Duchess of Bathwick]] (talk · contribs) 23:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the picture from commons as I have nominated for deletion - the source statement "on my computer" fills me with copyright infringing dread. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 01:37, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a name under his nicknames. It was gay guy and gave a reference, but after checking the reference, it used his nickname as diesel.His real name is Robert Dyrdeck his nick name is rob or diesel

  I think it's just a minor edit, but wanted to let people know what I did.Normstradamus (talk) 00:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Filmography

I've added a filmography box. CollisionCourse (talk) 05:00, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conventions

Please use the surnames "Dyrdek", "Boykin" and "Pfaff"and his brother colby turner from union city tn . First names look unprofessional. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 02:19, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Career section minor grammar error?

Not sure, but shouldn't the beginning of the Career section be: "Dyrdek first starred in an MTV reality . . ."

When it comes to an acronym preceded by "an" and "a", I could be mistaken, but I always was told that when prefacing a soft phonic (consonant or vowel) the indefinite article should be "an". This is still a point of argument as seen in the Indefinite Article section of THIS wiki-article.

Grammar Police? Perhaps. The goal of wiki is the pursuit of accuracy so take it FWIW.

The Show Goes On

There were many rumors that Rob Dyrdeks Fantasy Factory would end after season 3 before 2011. These rumors were very untrue because season 4 has started airing and it is 2011. But, there are many changes to the show including hiring, firing and remodeling. The foam pit is on the other side of the factory and Tony "Blurry" Turbo is gone along with Jeremy K. Larner, Robs ex manager. Some believe these two are gone from the show because of the bad economy. Blurry never did much and not a lot of viewers expected much from him. Jeremy was a different story because he played an on and off important role in the show and Robs life. But he obviously was not important enough because he was either let go or quit. Remember the past 3 seasons, when Jeremy would only question or put down Robs ideas. Jeremy was never encouraging and rarely ever set up gigs for Rob. Rob was pretty much independent and picked his own gigs.

Rob Dyrdek Foundation

The page would be strengthened by a short section about the Rob Dyrdek Foundation, which would then include a link to more information on the organization. A new Wiki page for the foundation could then be setup with basic information.

About Us on Rob Dyrdek Foundation Website — Preceding unsigned comment added by josephsouth (talk • contribs) 10:59, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Rob Dyrdek Foundation is a foundation which supports the whole "Safespot Skatespot" concept started by Rob Dyrdek himself. He started the Safespot Skatespot so skaters could skate as much as they want without fighting the law. These skatespots are posted all around the Los Angeles area and might potentially go global as in go to different states. Rob get money from his contributers Carl's Jr and Seven Eleven. But, before Rob actually got money for the skateparks, Carl's Jr asked him to make two (2) viral videos, one including him dressed up as the Happy Star. He decided for one to skate through a participating Carl's Jr. and for the other video he was in the HappyStar suit doing random acts at the Factory and he ended it by posing he was in the suit, falling off a zipline. In reality, he put a test dummy he called Timmy the Testie in the suit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mriemers (talk • contribs) 03:56, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
