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.

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 TRAIN
Night 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

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.

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
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.

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…
