World Records
Dyrdek set twenty-one separate Guinness World Records for skateboarding as part of his former show Rob & Big. Big Black also set two eating records on the show: The most bananas peeled and then eaten, and the most number of powdered donuts eaten in a set period of time.
As part of the Fantasy Factory series, Dyrdek set the record for the largest skateboard (according to the Guinness World Records website, it is listed as the "Longest Skateboard in the World"), but, according to the "World Records Academy" website, this was broken in 2010.
Dyrdek's personal bests—some of which have since been surpassed—include:
- Consecutive frontside ollies: 46 (2007, WR)
