Several weeks ago I met a gentleman at the DOS bowl who was wearing this patch he had sewn on a his jacket. Good, clean fun from a gentler age. I love corny stuff like that. I forgot the guy’s name. Sorry guy.

Spotted on the side of a Metro West ambulance in Portland, Oregon. If anyone else sees this in the wild, I’d like to post a picture showing placement on the whole ambulance. – Thanks to Josh Burt for the photo.

Well… not all press is good press. From the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission web site: Loaded Boards Recalls Orangatang Skateboard Wheels; Blow-outs Pose Risk of Injury to Riders WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. Hazard: The recalled skateboard wheel’s core can shear and blow-out causing the wheel to separate from the skateboard truck’s axle and bearings. This poses a risk of serious injury to riders. It looks like about 1200 sets were affected. Loaded Boards has received 10 reports of wheels separating, but somehow (luckily) no injuries have been reported. If you’ve got a set affected by the recall, you’ll get a replacement for free. Visit the Orangatang Wheels web site for more information on the recall. Alternately, contact Loaded Boards Inc. toll-free at (877) 855-0708 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, e-mail the firm at coreissue@loadedboards.com. – Thanks to Mrs GVK for the tip.
