APSk8’s Ripper of the month for February goes to Rex Eures of Raleigh, NC, USA. The East coast has always had it’s fair share of talent, and Rex is no exception. What’s so rad about Eure (besides his clean backside flips) is his commitment to family.  Rex loves his kids and is an inspiration to all skate dads as well as an awesome role model to little rippers everywhere….

Where are you from?

I’m from Norfolk, VA, but I’ve lived all over the world!

Favorite thing about the East Coast skate scene?

The East Coast is so versatile that it gives you everything that your mind can imagine to skate

Favorite spot?

I travel so much, that it’s hard to find a “favorite spot”. I will have to say Freedom Plaza, in Washington D.C., would have to be at the top of my list. MARBLE!!!

Why did you start skating?

Living in Germany while my pop was in the Army, had a lot to do with it. It was either skate or play basketball…I’m not main stream, especially stereo typical. I picked up a board, and the rest is history!

Shout-outs?

First and foremost, I’d like to thank God for giving me the drive and talent, my children, without them, I wouldn’t have the motivation to continue! but I’d like to also thank my friends and sponsors: Suicide Skateboards, Levitate Apparel, SOS Eyewear, Draven Shoes, Rockwell Watches, and Herron Trucks.
