by Anna Johns, posted Apr 14th 2006 9:32AM
Yet another new reality series coming to MTV. This time,
it's all about the life and times of pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his
"bodyguard/best friend/roommate" Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. Dyrdek has been a pro skater since
he was 16 (he's now 31). He hired his bodyguard when Dyrdek kept getting harassed by cops for skating in the streets.
MTV cameras will follow the two around in the home they share in the Hollywood Hills and out on the skateboarding
circuit. Dyrdek describes life with Boykin as "all day comedy".TV Squad Hot Topics
