If The Core Industry is Gatekeeping, Braille Also Gatekeeps by Excluding Skaters Using Drugs

Braille Skateboarding is noted for its exclusionary practices by welcoming everyone as an inclusive YouTube skateboard company.

But former skater rapper Lamont Holt said that when he was starting to become a YouTuber, he hit up Lance to film a video but was excluded because he was accused of using drugs.

However, in Holt's defense, the YouTube video he released was only a skit he called "skate pill."

Fellow YouTuber Nigel Jones also expressed that Braille holds a stance against individuals who engage in the use of cannabis.

The company appears to enforce strict guidelines. If a skater posts about alcohol or anything against the corporate business model of not being a good influence on the skate community such as advocating the second amendment, you will no longer be a part of Braille.

Every time Aaron Kyron and the rest of the employees are in a meeting, they have to decide to exclude certain individuals if the skater is a bad influence, even though the skateboarder is phenomenal at his craft.

That's one of the reasons Jones had to leave Braille. He also said that he was working on a skate shop inside the company to include all the brands and thinking as a whole industry to carry, but the YouTube company wants only to take over skateboarding with their own products.

"You want to be on the top, you want to be the best. Just be with everybody, and that's how you're going to evolve," Jones said.

Jones wants everybody to win. "I'm not selfish like that." He said. "I want to eat, but if you're in my wiing f*ckn, we're all eating."
