We love the True Love Collective. You’ve seen their boards in the shop, expect to be skating with a few of the fellas from True Love very soon. They’re a true core brand… skater owned all the way.

As all of us know, it takes a lot of grassroots work to get a skatepark built. Check out the San Antonio Skatepark Association and give these guys props… if any of you reading this are in Texas, give these cats a hand and help the cause.
On a personal note, I just launched A World Without CEOs to take issue with the IASC (International Association of Skateboard Companies) for their demonization of skateshops that carry shop-decks, as well as their hatred for regionally branded board companies (sort of like Non Visual, Aminal, Chief, etc). The site is called A World Without CEOs, a spoof of A World Without Pros.
