Rob Dyrdek is a rare breed in professional skateboarding: his charisma and personality are as well known as his abilities on a board. His street skills landed him a spot on the DC team in 1995, where he then began designing signature products, including the first-ever skateboard / athletic shoe, the Dyrdek 1. His Skate Plaza Foundation has created legal, safe skate areas for the more than 13 million U.S. skateboarders. Rob also stars along with his friend and bodyguard "Big Black" in the #1 rated MTV hit show "Rob & Big," and is getting ready to release "Street Dreams," a feature film he co-wrote, stars in, and executive produced. He's also currently working on his next skate video part, this one for the upcoming Alien Workshop project. See more at dcshoes.com.
Dave Mirra is, without a doubt, one of the biggest names in action sports. He's also one of the winningest with over 20 X Games medals. Dubbed the "Miracle Boy," Dave has helped shape what the X Games are today. Mirra's action sports fame led him to host MTV’s "Inferno" for two seasons, cameo rolls on shows like "Las Vegas," and various other appearances all over TV. Dave has also been featured in several editions of his own video game series, "Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX." 2006 marked a change for Dave as he left Haro Bikes after 11 years to start his own bike company, MirraCo Bikes.
Chad Kagy is a rider that can do it all. In the mid to late '90s Chad became known for his skills on the dirt as well as the park course. In 2004 he broke his neck when he over-rotated a double backflip during practice at the Gravity Games. After a painful surgery and long recovery, Chad began to focus his skills on a new area: the vert ramp. He then quickly became a pioneer of BMX on the Mega Ramp. In 2006, with added height off the coping and huge new tricks (like his flatspin double tailwhip) Chad put himself into contention for top contest placings. At X Games in 2006 he did the impossible and won the gold medal in BMX Vert and followed that with a Silver in Best Trick. 
Is there anyone in motorsports as mental as Travis Pastrana? Because there sure isn’t anyone more famous. The man who broke all the laws of physics by landing the double backflip is the embodiment of FMX madness. At the 2006 Summer X Games, Pastrana nailed the double back in his run and ran away with the Best Trick Gold in one of the greatest moments in X history. Over the past few years he’s earned numerous FMX and MX titles, and along the way he’s turned lots of people into fans of his multi-sport trickery. Add up the stats, but the craziest fact is that Travis is only a part-time moto rider. He’s also a full time rally car racer as well as a stuntman, monster trucker, flat tracker, and more. Basically, if it’s got wheels, Pastrana will run it, wide open! In only his second season of rallying, he won the 2006 Rally America National Championship; the youngest title winner in American rally history. Pastrana dominated rally in 2006 driving his Subaru Impreza WRX STi as a member of the newly reincarnated and prestigious Subaru Rally Team USA. In 2007, he did it again, becoming the only rally driver in history to win the championship twice in a row. As true agent of change in motorsports, Pastrana and DC are a perfect match; progression is everything..
Ken Block has only been driving rally cars for a short amount of time, but his list of accomplishments reads like that of a seasoned pro. In 2005, Block's first year of rallying, he was aptly named Rally America's Rookie of the Year. As his career continued, Block's speed and skill behind the wheel became apparent and he was signed by Subaru Rally Team USA in 2006. From there Block has confirmed himself as one of North America's fastest rally drivers. He has won two Bronze medals and one Silver in the last three X Games Rally Car events and has finished 2nd overall, 3rd overall and 2nd overall respectively in the past three Rally America National Championship seasons. Block won five rallies in 2008, including a win in the hotly contested Canadian Rally Championship.
Block has gained worldwide notoriety for his exploits outside of rally competition, having successfully jumped his rally car 171ft for Discovery Channel’s popular ‘Stunt Junkies’ show in 2006. Then in 2007, for a segment in DC’s MTN.LAB DVD series, Block slid and jumped his rally car in the snow with pro snowboarders at New Zealand’s SnowPark. The session resulted in an epic Snowboarder Magazine cover shot featuring Block jumping his rally car alongside a Torstein Horgmo from the DC Snowboarding team, plus an amazing video sequence that was included as the last part of the DVD. He also created an insane gymkhana “on steroids” course around El Toro airfield to showcase his high-speed technical prowess on the tarmac and released the video, Gymkhana Practice. The video became an instant viral success in all circles, capturing over 20 million viewers.
