Suddenly everyone has a “street build”.
I nominate both the old and new nimblestiff, or is the new one called Frankendick? Idk @glyphiks pls clarify
BenjaminF:Street Builds
BenjaminF:3 - Most DIY Elements
@Flyboy build
Y’all, to be clear, it’s the builder who decides the category they want to compete in, not the person nominating them.
I agree with the DIY categorization
Thanks for putting this on the record
Ender 3 pro for the most DIY winner
Incredibly generous, thank you Jackson! We’ll be in touch regarding logistics soon
Cyanoacrylate:I nominate @NoWind ’s Psychoframe.
Suddenly everyone has a “street build”.
That’s definitely a possible outcome lol. I considered having builders send me their category decisions in a PM to avoid having people game out their decision based on the competition, but I decided I kinda like keeping everything public in this thread so y’all can game it out
@moddedlife for this crazy build:

this thing is so above and beyond, truly a work of art.
I just would like to say that even tho my name is at the bottom of the first post, i wasn’t hung over and I contributed nothing.
Nice work Benji, you should get hung over more often.
The OG was NimbleStiff, it has evolved into FrankenDick. Thanks for the nom!
only one nomination per category, or can we nominate multiple?
Nominate as many as you like bro! Just not your own
Here are my noms in no particular order
Build completed on December 2021. [20211218_150600] [20211218_151703] [20211218_151744] Alright folks, Lin here back at it again with another build. But Lin, aren’t esk8s and other PEV banned in Singapore? Yes, and I am losing sanity to other things in life and other bruh moments so I have to build stuff to get my mind off things. Here goes. This build will be heavily inspired by @Static and his Evo build. So why the name Athena? This build will have two big chrome motors as rockets, and …
Truly unique build and unmistakably @Linny’s. Wouldn’t be BOTY without a Linny board in the running.
Seems a bit strange to name an esk8 build But in an effort to follow the trend around here: NIGHT TRAINNight Train Concept
Loaded like a freight train Flyin’ like an aeroplane Feelin’ like a space brain One more time tonight This build started out (after accumulating some parts) with this name/idea in mind. For a little while anyway…:joy: It never really related to an aesthetic, but the idea of a crazy loaded urethane build appealed to me. I’d seen ahravs mental 4wd builds and thought he…
By far my favourite build to follow this year, i like it even more because i didn’t have to suffer any of the woes and got to snigger from the side lines. Well done @rosco
Welcome guys, after a whole load of research and wait, i finally jumped in on my first build. Parts list : Deck: RedEmber Xapham Eboosted Enclosure Fullsend 12s8p Molicel P42A battery with LLT Smart Bms Double Stormcore 60D+ from BBB 4x Radium 6485 Motors 205kv 4x Radium Gen 3 lite motor mounts 4x Radium 62t Wheel pulley 4x Benbucklerboards 18t steel motor pulleys MBS Matrix II trucks from BBB Matrix II Adjustable baseplates from Etoxx, anodised by Radium 12mm Speed rings, bearings and 405 be…
For a first build you smashed this @Dunkan. I’m proud.
[image] I need a practical board with long-range that isn’t massive like the Cyboard. But it can’t be normal either because god forbid my board isn’t the coolest one at the group ride. I named this thing “Rocinante” after the ship captained by James Holden in the show The Expanse. [The Expanse - Naming The Rocinante] The initial inspiration was @DerelictRobot calling me “Holden” at Carve PDX because, apparently, I look very much like him. [image] [image] This build started wit…
This is the one board I saw this year and thought ‘Damn. I want one like that.’
I’d like to nominate many already mentioned here, but also @moddedlife’s amazing iron Man build
[20211217_192515] [20211217_192555] [20211217_192609] [20211217_192614]
I know it’s not too everyone’s taste but it has more innovative DIY electronics than any other board I have seen this year. Truly something unique.
Agree with the DIY nature of it hence why I’ve already nominated it .
Some people truly immerse themselves in the DIY element. Very impressive indeed!!
Kurby! Super tight little street build. One of those builds you just want one of. Congrats @PedroMcJimenez
[16395383152597567041212576021524] This will be a bit more than a standard build log. It follows me from my noob beginning of not knowing shit, and hopefully ends with a properly built board and me being a half decent builder/assembler. I came into this community about July 2020 with much different goals than what ended up being quite the learning excursion. I ordered a BKB Tayto kit in July with the intent to assemble it and ride as is. Then research happened and I switched plans to do a de…
Oh yeah for sure. Love that little board.
There are so many amazing build.
I’ve got another super clean street nomination. Built in January and dead sexy
@Jaws
New board for 2021, on a subsonic gt40 platform. Ordered the downhill flex + a layer of carbon on the top and bottom tinted with green. Started off by glass fritting the board with polyurethane: [PXL_20201207_004211707] [PXL_20201209_010906700] Then I gave the eboosted enclosure my personal touch. Started smoothing it out by using a base coat and then sanding, then I sprayed black: [PXL_20201229_023740324.MP] Then sanded lightly and masked off the decals I wanted courtesy of @Kaydo followed b…
I would like to nominate this build, the DIY effort that has gone into it is definitely admireable.
@DerSi
Hi guys, I have already asked/replied/reported here and there but now that everything is done, I feel like summing it all up in one complete build thread. So better get your reading-glasses, there is some serious amount of text coming up The most important first: The result in unpolished dirty pics [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Why all this To be honest, initially I only wanted to see if I could design and build a hub motor. This urge was triggered by some esk8 guy converting ordinary BLDCs i…
