I've known this name for so long and yet i just realized i don't know what his impact has been on the sport. all i really know is that he rides for atomic and is now the rep or something like that. Can someone fill me in?

last time i checked he could do pretty much every trick both ways about five years ago and probably still has most of them...underrated?

Silly Rex!

Now why would you put yourself in the first ad you put after being hired as team manager?

SUCH poor form.

The only thing EVER that was worse then this was Jimbo Morgan's two page spread of himself that he ran a few years ago. That was not so sweet.

well there's a couple reasons for that, largely it's because at the time the ad had to be shot I was the only confirmed person on the team, I wasn't confirmed as Team Manager yet, and as it is the Ad is wrong, it will be fixed in the next issue though. Having to get ads produced on short notice sucks.

whatever porn career Rex chooses dose not concern any of you, what is important that he got that wicked ass job with atomic as team manager. but he is still an amazing skier and will still do any trick in the book! and besides the porn and the skiing, he is a bartender at a fun little place in whistler, so go buy a beer from him!

This is the most Rex thing ever, to just listen, then chime in with "it was fucking dope right",and the have a full on conversation about what skis you're riding, unless they are K2, even rex appreciates K2

Rex will shittalk your Big Mac until he has one and then he's happy, but until then he will make you do burpeees or go run laps until you've learned your lesson, Rex is the best role-model in the freestyle community and people have to accept that just because he's not you're favourite, he's a great guy, ad looks for the best a person can get
