Professional Skateboarder Dylan Rieder Has Sadly Passed Away From Complications With Leukemia.

It’s only once in a lifetime that a skater as talented (let alone handsome) as Dylan Rieder comes around. Starting as a young Quiksilver sponsoree (when they still had a skate team) to turning pro for Alien Workshop, and eventually blossoming into the stylish beast we all know and love as an integral part of Anthony Van Engelen and Jason Dill’s Fucking Awesome, he’s had a massive impact on the progression and culture of skateboarding as a whole. 

Today we bring you the news that he has tragically passed away at the age of 28 years old, following a two year battle with leukemia. In the end, surrounded by family and friends, it was a battle that he succumbed to.
