Dylan held a special place for a lot of people in skateboarding. Being the same age as him and watching him grow up and progress I always held a lot of admiration for him. He progressed at a fast pace and his style improved constantly as well. There is no doubt he was one the most powerful, stylish and talented skateboards to ever touch a skateboard. His talent on a skateboard is undeniable.
What I really think makes him stand out from all the other talented skateboards out there was his representation of who he was and what skateboarding was. When you watched Dylan skate, it made you want to go skateboarding. He made skateboarding look fun, cool and rebellious. It was cool to see him turn down corporate sponsors, avoid promoting energy drinks and be the only person skating street league not wearing a billboard on their shirt. Let's be honest, no one looks cool in a rockstar hat, and it makes skateboarding look lame and corporate. Seeing Dylan chose to represent smaller brands like Huf or FA made skateboarding look cool again and a lot of people are benefiting from that.
