Braille has very ‘sketchy’ business practices. Their SkateSchool program is something that shouldn’t need to exist, but it does. With skateboarding your meant to be independent and in your own lane with the occasional help but Braille, advertises to their target audience (around and younger than 13) a lot about how they should invest into their skate school program. Aaron Kyro, has also had a GoFundMe-like program where he said the profits would go support the channel but it ended up, supporting The Church of Scientology. Link Here: Click Here [VIDEO] And with Revive, I’ve been told my some who have purchased products that they lack some quality but that is noticeable from their price point ($40 I believe). Same said with Braille, skate-related products, they lack quality but that’s just their price point. But, this is my personal opinion, yours may differ.

Some interesting info on Aaron Kyro and Scientology here: [VIDEO] If you search YouTube for “Aaron Kyro Scientology” you can also see other videos of him. I never watch any Braille videos because I don’t want to contribute to views/ad revenue potentially putting money in the pockets of the Church Of Scientology. There’s plenty other great skate tutorials on YouTube anyway without weird clickbait crap.
