We all know that Rob Dyrdek and the Skate Plaza concept are slowly changing the face of street skateboarding by making outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful and useable by the community, but also 100% skateable (and legal to skate).

As you might already know, Rob Dyrdek has been slammed this year. He's filming his part for the new Alien Workshop video and "Rob and Big Black" is going to be hitting MTV this fall.

The Red Bull "Hammers Vs. Bangers" Best Trick contest was held as part of the Skate Plaza's grand opening ceremonies last Saturday. After a mild rain delay, Chris Cole won the individual Small, Medium and Large sessions, and as a result took the overall win and $32,000 in prize money.

More than 3,000 skaters turned up in Kettering, Ohio to be part of history last Saturday as Skate Plaza pioneer Rob Dyrdek kicked off the grand opening ceremonies of the world's first Skate Plaza.
