Papa of skateboarding in Ticino!
Yari started skateboarding in 1989. He never stopped except for a few broken bones or cancer. He's with Vans since 2000, released 5 video parts, a dozen interviews on skateboarding mags and 2 covers. He also opened a skateshop (The Joker Shop) in 2000. As the head of the ticino skateboard crew called "Warriors", he founded Warriors Skateboards in 2009. Yari is still trying to skate hard, but the moste important thing for him is to have fun on his board. And yeah, he's the new team manager of the Vans skate team in Switzerland!
