It’s official—Cordano Russell is pro for Toy Machine. Known for his explosive power and undeniable grit, both on and off the board, this pro nod was a long time coming, if you ask me.
We’ve had our eye on Cordano since he was a hungry up-and-comer skating the old TWS park and couldn’t be more thrilled to see him enter the big leagues. The fact that he’s pro for a respected brand like Toy Machine is just the cherry on top. Check the post below for the surprise and a closer look at his debut pro model planks.

Here’s what Ed Templeton and Toy Machine had to say:
“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Cordano Russell to the professional ranks of the Toy Machine bloodsucking skateboard company. This choice does not come lightly, as every pro on the Toy Machine team throughout history has proven themselves more than worthy through rigorous scientific testing and vetting until they are perfectly optimized in the mission of brainwashing, er, mobilizing an automaton battalion (at the beck and call of the benevolent overlord) of loyal pawns whose collective credit cards are weaponized toward the purpose of purchasing Toy Machine products exclusively and in perpetuity for the remainder of their lives. We await your capitulation. And congratulations Cordano. You are one incredible skateboarder and human and we are all excited to see what you’re gonna do in the future.”

There are a lot of “pro” skaters out there just scraping by doing the bare minimum, but anyone who knows Cordano knows he gives it his all.
What’s most impressive is that throughout his humble skateboarding journey so far, Cordano has stayed focused on progression. And at just 20 years old, it’s clear he’s only scratching the surface.
Just think about where he’s at right now—and everything he’s already accomplished. That alone is pretty incredible.
Congrats, Cordano! Go buy his pro board! The future is as bright as ever and we can’t wait to see what this powerhouse hits us with in the years and decades to come.
