Toby Ryan has officially earned his place on the pro team at REAL Skateboards.
And if you've been watching his skating over the last few years, this announcement probably feels like it was only a matter of time.
From his impressive part for Venture Trucks to his REAL Skateboards Oval video, Toby has continued to show why so many people have been talking about him.
His skating has been packed with difficult lines and technical stuff. Then there were those raw Wallenberg clips alongside Dylan Jaeb, which only gave core heads another reason to believe that a pro board was coming sooner than later.
REAL has now made it official, welcoming Toby to its professional roster.
It's another strong addition to a team that already includes two Skater of the Year winners, Ishod Wair and Mason Silva.
Joining a lineup with that level of talent says a lot about the confidence REAL has in Toby and what he brings to the team.
The celebration looked like everything you would hope for when someone reaches this point in their career.
The entire REAL crew came together with friends and family to celebrate Toby's promotion, making the moment even more memorable.
The smiles, cheers, and congratulations from everyone there showed just how respected he is by the people around him.
REAL kept the announcement short and straight to the point on social media, posting:
"TOBY IS PRO ‼️‼️"
Congratulations to Toby!
