Brian Delatorre #3.



Street grabbing in the stance of the switch.

Delatorre has been in the game a long time now. How many other active pros can say they rode for Think? I guess it's probably a fair number of people, but you get the gist of what I'm saying.

Yeah, I've made that reference for an intro line before. Sorry. Gas tank is running on empty lately.

It's kinda a neat coincidence that Joey Guevara from your previous post also rode for Think.
The final years of the Think team we're interesting (not that the Pat Duffy years weren't also kinda incongruous to the brand's legacy)... Delatorre, Bachinsky, Manny Santiago, Lee Yankou, Josh Matthews?!?

Think just could never get cohesive after the era of Shao, Dehobl, Speyer, and Pete the Ox.

Think Skateboards...make me think of a young Diego Bucchieri in Thrashers Hillbilly Roadkill. Had a huge impact on 12 year old me...good simple times.

I didn't know Joey was on Think.

They had a really solid team in the late 90s - Drehobl, Shao, Speyer, Paez, Zaunich, McKinney, and Moler. Then they added Duffy and Diego. I'm probably forgetting somebody, too.

Yankou is underrated.

You can tell yesterday was a holiday since people left comments. LOL.
