rip dylan rieder died cancer leukemia skater

A truly heart breaking day in skateboarding as news filters in that Dylan Rieder has passed away at the age of just 28 years old from a battle with leukemia. Look for an outpouring of love over the next few hours, days, years, + forever. Rest in Peace to one of the greatest humans to ever roll on a skateboard. He made it seem like so much more with an individual style that will never be replicated. Both on and off the skateboard, Dylan was a huge influence and skateboarding will be forever thankful. For all the good natured heat he took for being handsome and having a fashionable style all his own Dylan always pushed to keep his skateboarding 100% true and left a legacy that will never be forgotten. He rode for himself first and foremost.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Born to ride a skateboard? It’s a seemingly silly concept when you think about it, but Dylan Rieder made us believe it. That man was absolutely, positively a gift: power, style, grace—he had it all. That said, he was much more than a skateboarder and that’s what makes this infinitely tragic. Think about what he had already accomplished and imagine how much more he could have done. We are at a loss for words right now, but what we do know is that Dylan made everything around him better. Our thoughts are with his family and friends in this difficult time. Rest in peace, Dylan Rieder. We will all miss you, each day more than the next.
