Ultimate Boon: Robs ultimate boon is his skateboard. He inspires many people out there with his skill at skateboarding, and with those skills, he also teaches people lessons they will never forget.
"Rob has to be the street-smartest person out there. He is successful in so many other ways than skateboarding its unbelievable."-Chris Boykin
Quote was from an episode of "Rob & Big".

Temptation: Rob said there are plenty of temptations that tag along with skateboarding these days, everything from drugs and alcohol to fitting in with the wrong group. People always get the idea that skateboarders are bad people because the police are always kicking them out of places, but that is only because there are not nearly as many legal skateparks as there are basketball courts. Skateboarding is a sport too, just like basketball, and Rob is doing what he can to get that word out. Rob has been building skateparks all around America to keep kids out of trouble for several years now.

"As a kid, Rob always had trouble finding places to skateboard without getting kicked out or ticketed. So when Rob was able to get money as a pro skateboarder, he started building skateparks for kids looking for a place to practice."

Sacrifice: Rob must sacrifice his life as a normal person in order to make a TV show to get his voice heard. This isn't  necessarily a bad thing, but it is defiantly a major turn in the heros life in order to complete his Heros Quest. 

"We are having such a unique lifestyle right now. Theres no going back to Kansas now."-Rob Dyrdek to Chris Boykin

Quote was from an episode of "Rob and Big".

Final Battle: Rob's Final Battle would have to be obtaining and managing the Fantasy Factory. So much goes on in there its unbelievable. So many people are inspired by the things he does and his always positive never-look-back attitude, and the Factory only contributes to that. But with the fun and games that goes on inside there, he had to work for years to get to where he is with his life, and the Fantasy Factory is the peak of his life. Its what makes him Rob Dyrdek. 

"The Fantasy Factory to me is, well, pretty self explanatory. But also, Its to inspire people to go big. If I can do it, you can too."

Elixir: Rob's Elixir would have to be the changed image of skateboarders he has made. His favorite thing in life is skateboarding, and helping out there image is his main goal. What happens with Skateboardings new image is it opens up many new doors for the sport, and also opens more peoples eyes to see how much talent the sport really needs. Rob expects skateboarding to grow even bigger than it already is because of all the noise he has made in the everyday world about Skateboarding.
