We are sad to report that Dylan Rieder, one of the most talented skateboarders of his generation, passed away on Wednesday after a battle with leukemia. Rieder possessed an effortless style and served as an inspiration for countless people, skaters and non-skaters alike. His family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Dr. Stephen Forman in Rieder’s honor. Information on how to donate is below.
A few years ago we were lucky enough to profile Rieder for a four-part installment of Epicly Later’d. He will be missed.
