American Icons-Resources

Rob Dyrdek has had quite an impressive life so far from winning his first skateboarding competition at the age of 12 to becoming a pro at 16. He has displayed both skill and raw talent which would help him later in life. I think this is very important because this helps me to understand who he is as a person and what he does for a living. Rob and I both have dedication towards doing what we love to do, when we get knocked down we get back up and try, try again.

Rob is a very popular person so popular that he has his show where he can display both his skating side and his humorous side. In this show he always has something fun played not matter what the day whether it be from shooting crazy hoops to shooting people with an American gladiator tennis ball gun. Watching this show has given a really good idea of what kind of a person he is.

Rob also loves to help his friends such as his buddy Danny Way whom he helped set the world land speed record on a skateboard. He also helped pass out clothes with big black to the homeless. This shows that he is not a selfish guy even though he is famous.

Dave Chappelle is one of America's funniest comedians, he has shown from time to time that making fun of people is always a good way to relieve you of stress. The world needs comedians because with out them the world would be to serious. Watching his show helps me to get a better understanding of different forms of comedy.

Dave has always been a comedian, he first started when he was 14 doing stand up at the local comedy clubs. Even from a young age Dave knew comedy and was really good at it. I think that this is good because Dave knew what he wanted to do even from a young age.
