In 2014, Rieder appeared in a photo spread on the fashions of designer Alexander Wang in Vogue. n the piece in memoriam to Rieder in GQ the magazine called him "The Skateboarder who changed fashion forever".

Along with fellow skateboarders, Jake Lamagno and Steven Ditchkus, Rieder owned a store in New York City's East Village neighborhood named "the Hunt" which specializes in "furniture and assorted oddities from the dark side of Americana". The emporium has since moved to a space on Canal Street, further south in downtown Manhattan.

However, the cancer returned in November that year and he received a second bone marrow transplant, again from his sister. He then was again in remission. But the cancer returned once again. Mark Oblow said in an interview for The Skateboard Mag, "he didn't die from cancer, he beat cancer twice, you know he went into remission fucking twice, it was due to a fucking lung infection, his spine been damaged so bad and due to issues that chemotherapy caused to his eyes and due to damage it did to his liver and his lungs and all these things"
