Series Synopsis
In this reality buddy comedy, professional street skater Rob Dyrdek and his best friend and bodyguard, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin, share a house in the Hollywood Hills, bouncing from one ridiculous moment to the next.
After hitting it off while filming DC skateboarding videos, Dyrdek and his 300+lb bodyguard/pal Big Black decided to live it up in style in the Hollywood Hills as roommates.
On their first day in the house, Rob arrives at his new home to find Big Black relaxing in the pool sporting only socks and "athletic support".
With swim time officially over, the two head out for some street skating where Big reveals his bulb-worthy idea to add bulldog to their "family".
Along with mischievous Bulldog Meaty, the unlikely trio make the world their playground and hit the streets on a constant quest for adventure and laughs.
