What does the last phrase"keep kids on shred" mean?

knuckle dragger
Adj. This term is used to describe a snowboarder who is insane at what he or she does. Calling someone a knuckle dragger is a compliment, do not take offense to it. It is a great term because skiers can never be knuckle draggers, more or less because they suck huge *beep*. Knuckle draggers are often seen in the terrain parks of your Local Mountain or ski resort. Don�t fear them, they are just 10 times better at snowboarding then you will ever be. CAUTION: If you ski and you cut off a knuckle dragger it will certainly lead to your death. However this should never happen because you do not belong in the terrain park!...keep kids on shred!

I've never heard it before. From what I can find it is a snowboarder's term, but I can't find an explanation of what it means.

Shred is normally something you to do documents, tearing them into strips, so it may well suggest destruction or speed!

Sorry can't tell you more,
Hope helps,
Ian

The use in the sentence is a little odd, but shred means to do it, to participate�usually extremely. So maybe it means keep kids on snowboards...
