Keith Hardy, better known to most people as Shred Master Keith, has officially been added to the professional ranks for skateboarding legend Steve Rodriguez’s OG skate brand 5BoroNYC.
For anyone who has been following him and 5BoroNYC over the years, this announcement feels right on time.
Keith has been holding it down in the streets for a long while, stacking clips and staying consistent without cutting corners.
His Instagram has been packed with heavy street skating that speaks for itself, and his part in The 5Ball Video showed exactly what he brings to the table. Just real skating done the hard way.
On top of that, Keith has proven himself in contests too.
His wins at The Boardr events and taking home the Bronson Speed Co.’s Speed Killer Award proved that he could handle pressure and still come out on top.
Those moments added to a growing list of reasons why people already saw him as pro, even before it was made official.
Patience played a big role here too.
Keith stayed focused, kept filming, and kept skating the way he always has. He did not rush anything or chase attention.
Now that time has caught up, and he is officially riding as a pro for a respected brand with deep roots in New York skateboarding.
Big congratulations to Keith on making it official. Well deserved.
