The fact that Braille was practically run by scientologists and the skaters, including Gabe, who did almost all the work, were given peanuts, is prove that Braille had one goal. To fund an evil cult. Aaron was never sincere when he said he did all this out of his love for skateboarding. He used skateboarding, as well as the people he called his friends, to make Scientology a lot of money.

​@@dalaysolis1948I didn't think of it either. What j.r.havener4048 is saying is that: DaBoyz shirt design looks like an eye exam chart, braille is the system that blind people use to read. You can take it a couple ways, but the one is that they are no longer blind.

[@thatJoshieJosh]

Aw man, thanks for pointing that out, it had not dawned on me yet and that makes the shirts so much better.

[@thatJoshieJosh]

​@@dalaysolis1948Braille is actually a type of language that allows blind people to read. It's raised dots that they can feel. These DaBoyz shirts are set up like an eye doctor's standard test chart, where you look across the room and read off what letters are clear on the sign to see how good your vision is with and without the corrective lens. So the shirts are kinda a play - first they were blind, now they see. Or they see clearer now that they're on their own way.

[@poeskey]

I used to watch braile all the time back in 2017-2018 maybe it was a little later than that. I also wanted to add, that YOU guys, all the skaters that where on the channel are what made the channel. Just seeing you guys have a good time at the parks and in the warehouse having fun. I still remember the video where you guys skated the glass skateboard, and I still say first try even if you guys are probably annoyed by it now. Those memories you guys made for people back then mean a lot even if it pretty much went down in flames. I NEVER saw the scientology angle coming in the slightest.

Lance was a big part of why I liked Braille, but it was more about what he did than it was about him.

I thought I was too old to start skating again right before I turned 30, but after I saw Lance’s saga I saw I could do it too, especially since I had some experience from skating as a teenager.

Rocket power!! Wow tool me back dude

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

$20 an hour is unreal. For risking your body, building a channel, what a slap in the face

[@joey3204]

Panda Express staring pay here is 19:50 😂

[@franciscoramirez9867]

Should be enough for my $2000 monthly studio

[@PeepGamePopoff]

Getting paid hourly instead of salary+incentive bonuses is crazy actually lol

[@jmolaison678j]

​@@franciscoramirez9867And barely anything else

[@professionalhater3929]

Better then most skaters tbh which is a bag of weed and boards 😂

[@edgar9700]

Thanks for answering so much questions! So sad what happened, cant wait to see what you guys bring to this channel!

[@rickyglaser]

[@flux_time]

I translated this to English and it still doesnt make sense.

[@flux_time]

Nvm translated to Australian it worked.

[@isaiahquinones3149]

20k subs in a day is NUTS guys. Super hyped to see where this takes yall

[@nafadadawg]

Felt like this would happen, thank got yall are back

[@Stevie.kicks.]

Having Jd and Ricky in your line up is crazy! Jordan/Pippen, Curry/Thompson. Also everyone likes a "stick it to the man" story line. Recipe for success!

[@AndySkaterson7426]

Man JdSanchez has grown a lot ever since the last time I saw him

[@PlasmaOscillations]

It's all that angular momentum from the 900s expanding his body

He really is right in the time of his life where he's growing every single day. He's turning from a kid into a young man currently. It's gonna be interesting to see how his style and abilities change in the coming years.

[@LeSkateWA]

He became a man when he landed the 900

[@yuiop271]

Yeah Little JD is getting so grown up 💜

[@americannightmare2109]

Born to shred

[@IVI4V3R1CK]

Double the views in half the time compared to Braille's newest video. Well done fellers. Love seeing you all back together, and can't wait to see what you all film next.

[@zwenkwiel816]

Aaron still making videos with his scientology girlfriend or whatever?!

[@osdhockey2388]

As a fan of braille that was watching them for my childhood 10 plus years ago. I appreciate yall doing this.

[@Skweril88]

YYEEEEEESSSSSSSS thank you boys! Congrats on opening the page to a new chapter!

[@ASAPKody]

Poor Jd could have had ACTUAL SPONSORS. Arron screwd that kid so hard

[@johncattin8729]

Jd is on h street what do you mean? The kid is going places.. lol keep up w him before you talk…

[@darnassiannightsaber7835]

nothing was taken away from this kid, he has his sb skills to back himself up fr

[@ImTyde]

he did a 900 in X Games. JD has a bright future.

[@heitorcornelius]

JD has a big audience thanks to Braille... do you know how much valueble is this?

[@jspaulding4106]

I know who JD is because of Braille. JD's on the up. Idk if he would have gotten the exposure from other sponsors, which he has several. If this was in the magazine days, he would have been all over Thrasher and TWS if the sponsors knew what was good for them. But Braille showed us the kid, and his personality, and his wild skills on the spot like no magazine ads or covereage ever could have. I thank Braille for that.

[@nathankarr7665]

I’m so happy yall are back with a new channel! Lookin forward to the future with yall 🙌🏼

[@TheCommentedOne]

32:48 desk pop. 😂😂😂😂 Pow pow.... Aaron spinning the block on y'all lmao

[@alecdenby1316]

I watched the whole video Nigel. You guys as individuals and as a family is the reason i'll be tuning in o this youtue channel. Love DaBoyz and who they will impact in this part of the journey. Keep being yourself and yourself always.

[@Kay13Jay]

28:30 GLO cracks me up so much the way he always tries to stay positive.

[@jayheyneke]

I am glad these dudes have done this. I have been waiting for them to talk about this stuff since the end of the beginning.

[@Supremegod2124]

I'm so hyped up for this channel and I grateful to have y'all back

[@Zyphernetic]

I have to say that this is the most genuine video Ive ever seen. I watched Braille for years and never knew how much was going on in the background. I cannot wait for the channel to pop off🎉New beginnings! Chill vibes all around!

[@fats9935]

I would love to see you guy together as often as possible knowing that it's not able to happen all the time if all of you have access to the channel and load your own videos then recap when yall get together

[@rawskateboardingcompany]

Love to see you guys doing this! Cant wait to show up to support any local events!

[@jonnyandeola2141]

dope 🛹

[@anotherKyle]

what so many people dont get is that the worst part about the youtube drama and unclean breaks come a lot from the audience making wild assumptions about the unspoken stuff. it doesnt mean that people have to strip bare but all this stuff is way less juicy than people think. youre doing a good job on dispelling the magic around this situation.

[@DerekR1554]

Wow. I used to watch Braille all the time, I've watched sporadically, but recently decided to get back into skating. I searched Braille first thing I see is all this mess. Man thats heartbreaking what y'all had to go through. Good luck with the new chapter, cant wait to see what it has in store for you guys. Y'all definitely have my support!

[@Alias_Q]

Boyz, I watched the first video earlier today and you were on like 2k subs,. Now you are over 12k. Those are some good gains for a day one. Happy for you all.

[@kevinmorrice]

this is what i love about you guys, just pure authentic bros being bros

[@onikrux]

You guys were always what made Braille great. You guys didn't just work for Braille- you ARE braille (braille is nothing without the homies) Alot of us grew up watching that channel and seeing faces come n go in the circle. Myself included I think I saw my first Braille vid around 11 or 12 and I am now 26. Godspeed dudes 👏

[@birdsteak9267]

A name is just a sticker, the human connection is what is real.

[@tylermoreland7401]

shoutout to JD for taking all of this in stride. can’t be easy for him considering Aaron “found” him originally

[@travism412]

It’s good to see that the channel subscribers climbed by 1K in the time it took me to watch the first video.

[@erikhabkirk]

For those wondering the brand deal that was 6 figures, it was Brisk Ice Tea. They also did a Cinnamon Toast Crunch that they probably didnt get paid shit for.

[@NeedWantBuy]

26:05 Damn... no cut of brand deals? For a while, I was an editor for a big channel and I received 8% of whatever the brand deal was. To get nothing is wild. But now DaBoyz will get 100%! I'm here for it. P.S. Glad to see JD is part of the group. He's going to be fine no matter what he does lol.

[@BreefinsKnowsBest]

So glad you guys are still filming together, y'all are what I liked best about the videos. You definitely deserved better and I'm glad you get to do stuff for yourselves now
