The Tale of Aaron Kyro’s Life Journey
Aaron was born on September 10, 1983, in Denver, Colorado in the United States of America. He was raised in Montana, which is also where his interest in skateboarding was inflamed, while he was in grade 4. His interest later took root even though his little city didn’t boast of many skateboarders. This interest continued and got so strong that, after graduating from high school, Kyro decided to devote all his time and life to the sport. Nonetheless, he was plagued by the fact that not too many people shared this interest with him. So, he wanted to popularize skateboarding at any cost.
The next question was how to go about achieving this tall aim of popularizing his beloved sport. To enable him achieve this aim, Aaron Kyro attended college for a year just so that he could learn how to edit videos. This is because he intended to use videos to pitch his intention to would-be sponsors. Eventually, he started making videos of himself, showcasing his skills on a skateboard, which he took to anyone who could be interested in it.
Amid several rejections, Aaron eventually caught the attention of a few after a lot of hard work. His efforts paid off, particularly when the authorities of the city of Red Lodge Montana awarded him the sum of $35,000 from donors to enable him to build a skate park for people in his community. Apart from this though, Aaron Kyro’s efforts were met with no notable success until 2005 when YouTube became a thing.
Apparently, at his wits’ end but determined to succeed, Aaron just uploaded one of his skateboarding videos on YouTube. To his surprise, the video began to receive hundreds of views, and eventually went viral. Many skaters around the world saw the video and began to contact Aaron to collaborate with him in furthering his unique interest in skateboarding.
