Aaron Kyro
After high school, Aaron attended college for a year just to learn how to edit videos. He needed these videos to pitch his ideas, impress potential sponsors and then get them to sponsor his project because, at that time, there were no YouTube channels. He kept making these videos until 2005. Frustrated and with only one option, he made a video and uploaded on YouTube which was fairly new at the time but his video got a lot of views and went viral because many skaters saw and appreciated the video. That did not translate to money in Aaron’s pockets and he was still in want of cash to kick off his project, but he continued making tutorials until he got passed the lowest level of sponsorship and now has bigger sponsors from the best brands in the Game. That is how his journey into the world of social media stardom began. Today, Aaron Kyro is among the world’s top ranking skateboarders. Years have passed and Aaron says he is no longer in need of so many sponsors to provide skates for him anymore as he is now able to acquire any amount of skateboards he needs at any time, thanks to YouTube. Aaron is one of the best skateboarding tutors on the internet because of his simplified tutorials and courses which he has designed and posted on his channel and blog. He started making his videos as “Aaron Kyro” but later changed his YouTube channel name to “Braille Skateboarding” in 2007. In 2017, Aaron Kyro launched the first online skating school – Braille Skate University. The school is designed to teach its students – skate lovers online – all they would want to know about skating, including amazing skate tricks. Courses taught in this Universty include how to start personal YouTube channels, filming and editing videos, how to become confident in executing the various tricks of the game, etc.
