Can’t stop our ‘go’ Truth team. It’s been, is, and will continue to be a journey, but New Truth & Logic clothing is on the way and new philosophies are brewing. We’re looking to evolve and hoping you’ll evolve with us. We encourage you to fight fear tactics with a hunger for understanding. Trump hate with a rationality. “Open minds breathe easier” – TnL
Yep, it’s Universal…check the link for more info:
Go SkateBoarding Day!
“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hence why a controlled emotional temperament is important to keep during times of conflict…oh, Hey Truth team! Here’s a good one for you this week. I offer these words to trigger some thought. Think back to a time when your emotions caused you to fight to sink or swim. In the midst of struggling to swim, did you lose judgement of what was right, true, or even relevant? Did you lose the will to offer something valuable to the conflict?
There are some ideas that difficult decisions should be made free from emotions. Even that responses to opposing arguments should be delivered free from anger, or any emotion for that matter. There is some psychology behind this theory. It has to do with certain emotions triggering certain neurotransmitters which then cause your nervous system to involuntarily react…too much? Ha!, I’ll leave that to the professionals then. But try it, you may find that solutions will be reached quicker and truth will surface easier. And isn’t that what we ultimately want? The truth and a solution to our problems? Yessss
Have a great week, -Peace & Light be unto you
Great day Truth team, it’s been a minute(or not) since we last reached out. As a new and small organization, this quote is very befitting of where we are right now. Truth, enough said, love it, never plan to part from it. We are true to ourselves, flaws included. We encourage you to do the same. Acceptance allows you to open yourself to the next dimension, hence, you’ve got progress. And why not pardon error? Error, in its true nature, is sometimes a consequence of truth. Accept your errors, their errors, our errors, and expect growth to follow…-Stay encouraged
It was such a treat to find words of truth from the late and great king of pop. As a fan, I will ignore his circumstances during the time this quote was made(feel free to google it!). I will however, focus on the strength behind the statement. Lies will indeed go a very short distance with truth looming and waiting for its debut. Truth cannot be tampered with and so it will surpass any measure of time and distance. Chew on that for a bit…till next time Truth team…-Deuces-

2011 MAGIC Show Ollie Challenge
Tim & Gurney at the Hotline Skateboards shop
If you’re from Virginia Beach, VA and have surfing in your blood, then you or someone you know may have heard the name “Gurney” before. Who is this guy? Once a surf legend (no, seriously, local sources say so!), Gurney sought growth through his passion, building custom surfboards. He’s THAT guy, the one behind the Hotline Surfboards and Hotline Skateboards shops in Virginia Beach.
Gurney was kind enough to sit down with yours truly to share some 80’s-90’s-Millenium decade insight…take a read:
Truth: What was your biggest challenge with starting Hotline?
Gurney: Financing is always a challenge. But everything fell into place. I built a surfboard for a banker who then befriended and inspired me to apply for an SBA loan. Then, I hustled and just worked hard!
Truth: How much has the sport of surfing and skating changed over the years?
Gurney: Tremendously! 30 years! …The hippie generation was not as respected as skaters are now. Now it’s a big sport, there’s money, adult skaters [are on the scene]. You know, it grew out of Cali, and it’s still alternative. And some skaters are great athletes. But for every exceptional skater, there are 1,000 [more] that are good. Kids now want to be sponsored. I say have a back-up plan. I’ve seen kids go one-way or another. They get their education, still skate, and are chasing their dream through their 20’s and 30’s but don’t have [much to show] for it. Not everyone is a Tony Hawk who will have long-term careers. Today’s hot kid is tomorrow’s old news. It’s a mental thing to compete on that level. You need the edge, the commitment.
Gurney also shared the changes in retail competition over the years. He recalled that his only area competition about 5 years ago was 17th Street. Now, there are numerous mall stores that are selling what Hotline and its competitors “pioneered”.
Although Gurney isn’t really into customizing surfboards or skateboards anymore, you can still find sick boards at his shops. You can also find replacement trunks and wheels while shopping for the latest fashion-including TheHundreds, Volcom, DGK, Diamond, Obey, Adidas, Vans, DC, …AND Truth&Logic! We’re personally fans of their Nike SB Dunk and Blazer collection, but you’ll find a dope assortment of shoes for your fashion or skateboarding needs.
Gurney: This wouldn’t have happened by myself. I’ve surrounded myself with good people, but the most important person is Cammi Collins. I had the vision, but she’s the one who [has kept it together].

Here is a fun one for you Truth&Logic nation! Lies travel far and fast, followed by consequences for something you did not do! Yes, yes, I feel your pain. Worry not, let’s start a new trend, one that moves us to verify information and confirm the truth before we make hasty decisions. Look at youuuu wearing your Truth armor!
