a skateshop in fargo posted this photo along with this caption

So... if you haven't been informed... THINK skateboards will be no more. These are quite possibly the last THINK decks in existence. Who knows if they will ever be back. THINK has been a staple in our Fargo skate community, almost eveyone in town has had a THINK deck. They will be missed! These will be for sale for $40 as always... skate them... or honor them with a hang on the wall!

It's true. Has been for a while. They are currently for sale. Also your shop is overcharging for them.

Adrian Williams doesn't even ride Think boards no more. Sadly I don't know where dude will go after think. Maybe Western can get him on.

But Lee and Bachinsky will be hot commodities for some companies. Wonder who will pick them up.

things looked up around the time Business as Usual came out, but seemed to decline when one by one their riders seemed to bail, Cody Mac, Joey Guevara and Josh Mathews all quit. hopefully the riders find a good home.

i could see lee getting picked up but bachinsky as good as he is i don't see him getting scooped up unless its some homie shit like ammo or something unless primitive adds him since he tends to skate prods park a lot

Fongstarr. · « **Reply #13 on:** May 05, 2014, 04:03:54 PM »

Bachinsky just doesn't seem like a marketable skater. Sucks to even have to think like that but I bet Manny would sell more boards then him if they were on the same team. Hell, if Manny got on Primitive, I bet he'd sell a ton of decks.

Lee seems to fit on something like Habitat. Hell, maybe he can get on Alien since they are short staffed.

Danny F and Bachinsky have to end up on something good

Im hoping Bachinsky get hooked up by primitive , he is one of the more underrated skaters there is and its all cause he doesnt have a image

what a cruel world , Im melting

MOE SYZLAK · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2014, 04:38:41 PM »

hopefully Russ ends up somewhere rad. i would be stoked to see him on hopps or maybe western edition

HOPPS was the first thing I thought of for Russ, but Western Edition is probably more likely.

i could really see the entire think team fitting on krooked.

Danny has been off Think for a while now. He's still without a board sponsor.

My dream of Bachinsky and Westgate on AIN is one step closer to reality.

beazlocal · « **Reply #25 on:** May 05, 2014, 05:07:28 PM »

Always liked this brand, too bad, lots of great names over the years

That's a bummer.

L33Tg33k · « **Reply #27 on:** May 05, 2014, 05:14:19 PM »

I have literally never seen a Think board inside a skate shop in my city. Only time I ever saw one for sale in real shop was in SF. Other than that I've only seen a few in big box sports stores.

Aidan Clarke · « **Reply #28 on:** May 05, 2014, 05:33:22 PM »

i just figured that their decks ended up hitting the cheap deck bin in zumiez or something, right next to 5 million colorways of the supra skytop that no one that skates will ever buy.

what a shame, business as usual is a classic!
