  • What does it take to buck the system and do things your own way? Aaron Kyro started Braille Skateboarding with $5 in his pocket and a skateboard. By remaining true to his own passion he was able to build the largest skateboarding channel on CZcams and create the best selling skateboarding tutorial series ever. Learn how he was able to take the road less traveled and come out ahead. Aaron Kyro is the founder and CEO of Braille Skateboarding, Aaron Kyro. Aaron has successfully taken his love of and passion for skateboarding and first created the largest skateboarding channel on CZcams and then took it a step further and created an entire company dedicated to pushing skateboarding all over the world. In 2007 Aaron created the Braille Skateboarding channel and in 2014 his second channel, Braille Army. In the past 12 years these channels have grown to over 4 million and 400k subscribers respectively. He built his own private skatepark in 2016 and created an entire film studio to further his production capabilities. 2017 marked his tenth anniversary in business and saw the launch of his online Braille University dedicated to teaching people to skateboard, film, edit and upload videos. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I very seldomly watch Braille videos anymore. But 3 years ago when I really started getting into CZcams I would binge watch Braille videos after work. It eventually led me to other parts of CZcams and a much larger appreciation for the uniquely authentic content that the platform offers. It's interesting to think that the platform wouldn't be so big if it weren't for the many creators who were passionate about something and saw youtube's potential. Thanks Aaron

Due to pandemic I lost my job as being a tour guide, and it will take months or years to recover. I desperately didn't want to go to work at the office, cause I feel like a free bird. I bought 2 weeks ago a skateboard, began to learn it at the age of 29. And this video inspired me to do what I love to do. It's music, making a videos, write. Learn new things like a skateboard. And don't know why I always afraid to do these things. Thank you so much. This was the best 16 minutes in 2020!!!

    This applies to everyone except those with certain disabilities. My passion is hockey, but I had to quit at 13 due to serious heart conditions. Now all I can do is skate around and shoot pucks at a net, without overexertion. I was so talented I had teams wanting my parents to move up north so I could play and it was all pulled from my grasp. Not every disability can be overcome so easily, especially when the thing keeping you alive is the problem.
