Dylan Rieder Words & Photography
James Wright
Born in the small town of Westminster, California, skater Dylan Rieder has always done things a little differently. Ripping the bowls and streets of the notorious Huntington Beach from the age of nine and turning pro at eighteen, today Rieder is one of the most talented and influential skaters in the world. Standout parts in videos for Gravis, Transworld and most recently Supreme’s Cherry, jolted the skateboarding community into life, as Rieder turned in consistently unrivalled, gamechanging footage, all with a nonchalant, breezy style that looked like he wasn’t even trying. Before long, his disarmingly good looks and classically cool but acutely unconventional skating dress had kids the world over cuffing their trousers, ripping their t-shirts and skating in loafers. At only twentyfive, Rieder is just getting started. Whether it’s on the streets of LA, Berlin, Sydney or Tokyo, look out for Dylan Rieder; he’ll be the one doing impossibles without a care in the world.
