Yazper has been a part of the Loaded Fam for quite some time, and more recently helped us launch the new Tesseract II. We thought why not introduce you to one of the guys behind all the steezy clips and pictures you have been seeing with the Tesseract II rollout. Read on to get to know our dude Yazper!
Where do you rep (hometown or current digs)?
Guadalajara, Mexico
What’s your go-to setup right now (deck/wheels/trucks)?
Tesseract V2 Paris Trucks V3 165mm and Orangatang Fat Free 86a
Favorite way to ride? (Downhill, dancing, freeride, surfskate, beer run missions, etc.)
Usually I love freestyle but skateparks and freeride is good for me too.

Passions besides skating? (Bonus points for things like competitive cheese rolling)
My second passion is photography and is also my job, but I also love illustration, digital and traditional, and at last but not least important, gaming.
Who or what inspires you to ride?
My friends inspire me, I can say skating makes me feel free and happy, it's the space in my life where I can be me. I can share tricks, share time, and share the space.
How would your grandma describe you in three words?
Fun, creative, and daring.
Describe yourself using only emojis.

If Loaded made a board inspired by your riding style, what would it be called?
Ukiyo
What’s something the skate community needs more of?
I think the community needs to feel good skating without thinking about how many tricks they can do or how fast they can go or how high they can jump. When you skate for fun and feel good, you got everything.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to your past self when you first picked up a board?
I think my advice could be, try anything you want to do don't wait too long to try that trick. Keep skating, love what you do and the rest comes.
What do you hope people feel when they watch you ride?
I always think about this, if a single soul can feel the happiness and freedom I feel when I'm skating, I think this is all share it with the people.
