Aaron Kyro on The History & Future of Braille & Addressing All The Rumors! 

It's cool that he didn't avoid answering any questions really!

People in the comments continuously roasting Kyro about Scientology because "they don't understand it" is completely incorrect. They are in the comments because they've watched the documentaries, gone down the RU-vid rabbit holes, and heard all the stories of abuse and disassociation. Yeah, they rope you in with the $100 communication courses and $30 books, but ask Aaron about the $5000 purification rundown, or the $45,000 OT3 course where they handcuff a briefcase to your wrist and you get to read the handwritten by L Ron Hubbard secret texts....which are just made up Sci-Fi mumbo jumbo that is covered in 5 minutes by South Park. Aaron also whitewashes the human trafficking and financial crimes. They can't recruit in the USA because everyone has the internet and no it's a scam. So they've been bringing in people from Mexico, South America, Latin American, Africa, etc with the promise of the American Dream if they join the sea org. But what really happens is they get you to LA or Clearwater, take your passport, shove you in a dilapidated old hotel or apartmebt complex Scientology bought 40 yrs ago bunked with 8 other people living in squaller making $47 dollar a week...cause youre a "religious volunteer" not a employee....and they make you work 15 hours a day 6-7 days a week. Aaron will never agree to do an interview with someone who will be knowledgeable about these abuses or skilled enough an interviewer to press back or not fall for the change the subject tricks he learned in those communications classes that these guys fell into!!

he's dodging the Scientology questions so hard

He was literally indoctrinated by the stress testers you see in the streets. He was shy and vulnrable, taken into the cultist mindset.

Can't believe you got the leader of scientology for the Bay Area on 🔥

Jeff asked the real questions

cant believe kyro got on

Aaron IS IN FACT A HIGH UP SCIENTOLOGIST!!!! 💯 FACTS!!!! He even has those Zenu eyes

honestly I've looked up to Aaron for years I'm not hating but damn the amount of side stepping he did with the scientology questions was ridiculous, the obvious part was when jeff would ask a question and Aaron would go on a tangent about something completely unrelated to the question i feel like jeff stopped asking scientology questions simply because he knew Aaron was just gonna keep sidestepping

I cant believe Lamont got Xenu himself on the podcast. Insanity. Almost as crazy as Lamont not knowing 90% of the skaters or brands mentioned.

Scientology teaches you to speak like this, twisting conversations and like he doesn't give straight answers knowing he's being watched nor wants to speak on things. Once he gets them laughing and distracted he changes the topic. He keeps gaslighting the conversation the by saying we dont know what it is when there is plenty of research online. Many alligations.

He's paid $750,000+ to the church of scientology with money he could have invested back into his business, and pretends like he's struggling to stay profitable.

jeff was lowkey cooking with the good questions

Big ups to Jeff for asking questions about Scientology. I know it was probably hard coming up with meaningful questions on the spot, but you did a great job and asked some general questions I think were important to ask. Aaron gave dodgy non-answers, and conveniently left out how he initially got involved with Scientology, until Jeff kept playing dumb and repeatedly asked the same question. At first it was Aaron just took a course, then it was he paid to take the course, then it was Scientologists showed up to his door and he took a personality test while he wasn't in a great mind state - and they told him to take courses with their Church. Scientology and Kyro are sketchy. Big ups Jeff.

This was so sick!! That is for going to the Braille House!! Can’t wait to see the other vids you made!

Great episode Lamont. Good job and good questions from the both of you. Also enjoyed aaron's responses.

love these podcast and always look forward to listening to them.

i cant wait to see you guys on a braille video, its gonna be awesome. Aaron seems genuinely nice guy. great podcast, watched the whole thing. i honestly think glo would be a great episode.

One time for Lamont & Jeff asking those questions to Aaron. I hope there’s a part two in the future, because I know there’s more questions to be asked.

rock on Lamont ! epic interview, can’t wait to watch this one!

What a dope episode Lamont, your really putting in the work and miles for this podcast, keep up the good work dude 👊

I don’t want to sound stupid but what does that have to do with Scientology was the best questions I’ve ever heard 😂

Good interview. You asked the questions everyone wanted to hear. Looking forward to seeing the Braille videos you shot.

Absolutely loved this one. I appreciate that Lamont just lets people speak naturally. It keeps things from feeling stiff and awkward. Never a dull episode.

This was a really cool conversation. Always appreciate the knowledge Aaron drops ❤

LAMONT MADE IT TO THE BRAIL HOUSE FINALY

Thanks for the content!

love you all guys, great podcast!

Good Podcast. I do wish they talked more about scientology, especially with that article going around. Scientology has a very cult like history and has done some shady stuff. It's cool if it helped Aaron be more communicable and start his business but I would like to know what him being the executive director for the day and foundation organizations of Scientology in San Francisco entails.

Excited to watch and learn from this

been killing it with these podcasts lamont!!

Damn gotta be honest didn’t see this coming but I should have 😂

Great interview Lamont!!

Brilliant interview, very interesting, much respect to each personality there , life is hard but as skaters we just get up from the falls and it makes us stronger , peace ✌️

Im glad Jeff is a cohost. We said it from the beginning

Jeff was putting Aaron in the hot seat

video was actually super good and insightful, also Jeff definitely added a lot

Lamont really out here grinding! Show love to the 111! And ayo AK! Love you OG! I hope the best for the business ❤💯

This is awesome to see you guys doing this, only thing you need to do now is get some of the Majer crew back for an interview! Miss those dudes lmaoo

Lamont you a beast. I used to watch pretty often but I fell off the skate scene. Great job with the podcast! Definitely roped me back in.

Aaron does do a great job of staying on topic and brining only skate related videos. Anything outside of skateboarding stays out. Aaron is a good man.

16:05 After 10 years of watching Braille Skateboarding, I finally heard Aaron Kyro cuss. I thought him and Andy Schrock were robots…

Honestly Aaron talking is the best thing he can do for his brand lol. The guy just oozes passion when he talks about skating and I haven't even made it half way thru... Edit:second half of the interview had nothing of substance of course

Lamont is the next braille pro

SF has so many iconic spots, Mecca. Crazy to see people so unaware of some of the more well-known spots.

Interview was🔥

Love the interview. You should try have a conversation more. It srems like u have a list of questions that you are trying to get through as fast as you can. The guset always talks while answereing the question and you just say a 1 word answered back. Every time.

Thank you Lamont and Aaron

Completely went off topic and avoided the scientology questions as best as he could

Great episode

One of the Best Lamont Interviews This Far. Keep the heat coming my Nigg!! This shit is like the Kat Williams interview for skateboarding lol.

He's super cagey about the scientology , blonde guy asked good questions without being intimidating. Kyro straight up lying about the payment plans in Scientology

As a former skateboarder what Aaron has done is really cool, im 40 yo too and had the same dream of becoming a pro skater, skated 5-6 hours a day and had the most fun of my life between my age of 15 to 21, roadtrips, demos, tradeshows etc it was really cool and then one day all ended because of a bad injury but till this day i cant skate anymore but love watching it and love what Aaron has done, the idea of trying to get kids and people into skate and teaching how to do tricks, thats so cool. keep skateboarding alive Aaron.

Jeff asking the real questions🎉🎉

AK sponsored GOAT of the SFBA. We love you, can't wait to watch this.

Whaat?! Aaron did it?? Speaking about "It", Dang... much respect earned.

Jeff could sense the bullshit

Part 2 AND 3 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Javier sarmiento is god tier skateboarding

Ya’ll are crazy if u think he can be straight up about Scientology. His hands are tied. He sure can’t tell u the money he’s given them like all the top earners do. Is what it is. He still did some good in the skate community at least.

i did not think aaron would do this interview props to lamont

great interview. ive always been a kyro fan since way back when. ive been a little sad lately.

It’s cool to see Aaron talking outside of a Braille video

Oh nah you've been having banger guests Lamont.

Hey, thank you for the interview. I’m a little surprised about all the skate history you didn’t know but that’s fine because I’m sure a lot of the viewers didn’t know either. It’s a learning experience for all

yo im so hyped for this!

You didn’t ask him “what does Scientology believe?” or what does the head of San Francisco do?” So what’s the point of having him? You just asked easy questions!

Rick Mcrank is the dude from Vice that skates yo Lol and Yeah Right!

Shout out Vancouver! If Aaron somehow sees this. Who was the team rep you dealt with at circa? Man the boxes were sooooo good!!

Braaaaaaah! You get Aaron on! Ayo. 111. Lamont is UP UP.

Hopefully you get to do a part 2

Only ever heard of lamont goat ! Mad love ❤️

I can honestly say.. Aaron has always come across as genuine. He has always been willing to chat with me and even offered me an opportunity to come to braille and learn me a few things about RU-vid. Judge people based on how they treat you and not by others perception of them.

I bet the leader of San Francisco branch will be proud of this…oh wait Aaron Kyro is the leader of the San Fran Scientology branch! These people are doing the work of Scientology this whole video is Scientology propaganda! They are going to love this interview.

bro u a magician pulling this rabbit outta your hat

Not being "ACCEPTED" by the skate community doggie... Jeff was lowkey pissed Aaron didnt answer his last scientology question huh?

shoutout to stepping on and digging your feet directly into the audio cable.

The "do y'all fw me" meme I was laughing so hard 😭😭 I didn't think that's what you wanted to show him

Well this is one for the books!!

Yoooooo this is wild 🤯 111

Yk despite the controversy, may be shady, might not be but I learned how to hard flip from this dude like 10 years ago hahsh thanks man !

Jeff saw right through him 😂

As soon as you said, “I gotta show you this picture” I IMMEDIATELY knew you were gonna show him that exact pic lmaoo

Nah for real you went to the final boss (source) of information and I respect tf out of it. Actually the best podcast for skaters no joke

When aaron was talking about the van stuff it reminded me of the erased tour With Luis garrett jerell vinnie

Bro what lol I didn’t expect this interview

Let's goo Lamont!!

I couldn’t help but notice how they give Aaron a compliment or praise on something he’s done for the skating community, and instead of thanking them he just agrees with them and continues praising himself essentially. Along with dodging all the Scientology questions, I think this video shows a lot of his true colors.

Yo my boy I’m waitin on a new episode of the podcast chop chop bra im runnin out of em to listen to at work lmaoo

love this pod. would love to see you interview Sk9erdude

Lamont’s fit is fire 🔥

C1rca is indeed still around and producing some of the O.G shoes again!

Asking about Scientology was Jeff Wong Song’s best contribution to skateboarding

Aaron seemed very nervous about speaking about the church, and you guys definitely pulled back on asking directly. Tough to ask the tough questions. I hope to see Aaron and Braille succeed though, and overall grow into something better.

I started skating in about 1983 on a 70's plastic board, I got free after my uncle was hospitalized trying to ride it. he is soon to be 75. My first wood board was 1986. I left skating in 1993 after high school, and picked up rollerblading. I picked up a skateboard again in 2001 was a neighbor and his friends skating,. They were using me a way to get around, I was 30 yrs. old and could drive them to the only skate park at the time in Kenosha Wisconsin. I last skate at a park in 2015. I last stepped on a board after watching the Braille video of Aaron showing how to do a Strawberry milkshake in 2019. I said that looks easy do I went out in the garage it was winter and tried the trick. I fell and sprained my wrist, and said I'm too old for this. I will be 50 this year.

Dude this crazy

Nice

Oh, wow you got him on?

46:55 people aren’t really “mad” that Aaron’s a Scientologist, if anything I think it’s a classic meme. For the crowd that is mad about it, however, they’re mad because Aaron’s paid $750,000 straight to the pyramid scheme, and then has the audacity to complain on his channel that “the skate industry is losing money” and to please buy product from Braille. Also, we never got what the hourly rate is for a position at Braille. While the 401k match is good, that doesn’t mean that the pay is good

skaters in braille are hourly paid but he didn't say how much per hour.
