Dylan Rieder #7.



Dress shoes blues.

Dylan was the newest pro on the team for Mind Field, having been granted a board in 2007. He started riding for Alien Workshop in 2006 after being on Rasa Libre. He switched from Vans to Gravis for shoes during the making of the video. You can see his dress shoe pro model from Gravis in some of his clips. Dylan is still growing up for the part so you witness the evolution of his style. Most of the tricks he becomes famous for are there, like frontside flips, 360 flips, frontside heelflips, backside tailslides, big 50-50s, and more. It's not quite at the level of his solo video from 2010, but the elements are all present. He mostly skates street, but there are some ditches and transitions. There's even a random hardflip thrown in during a line. Sadly, Dylan passed away due to complications from leukemia in the fall of 2016.
