'Rob & Big' Gear Up For Second Season Of Their Reality Series

MTV reality stars, Rob Dyrdek and Christopher "Big Black" Boykin, have announced that they are set to premiere season 2 of their widely popular series, "Rob & Big," on multiple screens including MTV, MTV2, MTV.com and iTunes.

Fans can catch even more offbeat adventures of professional DC Shoes skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek, his best friend and bodyguard, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin and their trusty bulldog Meaty in eight new episodes.

To kick-off the new season, the guys welcome an addition to the family... a miniature horse. Other season highlights include a trip to Mississippi for Big Black’s family reunion, a time travel adventure that leads them to Montreal and Rob's high-stakes bet with fellow skateboarding legend, Steve Berra, at the Tampa Pro 2007 Skateboard Competition.

To give their fans more ways to watch their favorite shows, the new season will premiere on MTV and MTV2 on Tuesday, May 22nd at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT and be available to download on iTunes.

The odd couple's story is simple: After years of being hassled by cops for street skateboarding, Rob hired Big Black as his own personal bodyguard with one goal in mind -- to ride whenever and wherever he wanted. From that point on, this unexpected twosome became instant buddies who were always by each other's side.

Their first season on MTV featured Rob and Big as they adopted their lovable bulldog Meaty, threw their first house party, attempted to get in shape and even joined a dating service together.

Born in Kettering, Ohio, Rob is a rare and talented breed in pro skateboarding. At 12, Rob bought his first skateboard and by 16, he had already turned pro. Shortly after he became the first street skateboarder for the DC Shoes Team. His charisma and drive are as well-known as his abilities on a board. From designing innovative shoes for DC to building skateboarding plazas around the world through his foundation, Rob continues to shape the modern skateboarding world and give back to the sport that made him a star.

At 6'6" and 416 pounds, Christopher Boykin is known as "Big Black" -- "to state the obvious," he says. Born in Chicago, IL, Big Black has over 10 years of Executive Protection experience and has been embraced by the skateboarding community since teaming up with Rob and DC Shoes. Much like Rob, Big Black also has an entrepreneurial spirit, creating his own clothing line and currently working on a rap album.

Created by Jeff Tremaine (also responsible for creating MTV's "Jackass" and "Wildboyz" series, as well as both “Jackass” movies), the first full season of "Rob & Big" reached over 70 million total viewers and ranked no. 1 in its time period (Thu 10:30 - 11 p.m.).
