how do we know what category an entrant is entering into when we nominate them?
I can’t find where they selected the category

They gotta fess up themselves after nomination, or they get a visit from the Duck

This is the story of a board i built to test an idea.
It took far to long to finish.
Around this time 2 years ago, My first big build had just completed 1000 miles. It was starting to look a little worse for wear and i was starting to dream bigger.
After spending a great summer riding and racing my mind was slowly drifting to “what next”. I wanted something a little different. Something light and maneuverable. Something designed for racing on tight tracks but still capable off-road.
After …
More noms coming, diging through builds

Y’all, to be clear, it’s the builder who decides the category they want to compete in, not the person nominating them.
yeah yeah I know I was just acknowledging that he did an excellent job in that category

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.

Being under lockdown for so many months had almost driven me crazy and I feel in need to shout a big THANK YOU to this forum and its members for the knowledge provided and the uncountable hours of enjoy, it helped a lot to keep my sanity in place
Special recall to @rey8801 @BigBen @3DServisas @Anubis @DerelictRobot @b264 @poastoast @rusins @pjotr47 @janpom @natch and many others at Discord and Telegram groups.
This is my 3rd DIY build and the first o…
I nominate the Choovid by @Lobap . While there’s nothing ground breaking about it, it’s one of the cleanest builds I have seen and it came out great.

I spent the past hour going through all the builds we’ve had this year, and apart from my own (lol) and the builds already nominated, there were only two that really caught my eye and deserve a nomination.
Because of the looks, finished product, unobtanium parts and A++ build quality – I nominate The Prototypical Resurrection by @TheBoardGarage :
Prologue
I have never posted a build thread before, and I figure that this is a good place to start. This is the first of a few to come, and in each one I’ll try to detail some of the story of the build, since there are often amusing bits here and there that add to the human element that surrounds the construction of an expensive toy.
This build isn’t an entire build, but more of a recovery. A recovery that I was so glad to be involved in, as it saved a very pretty LaCroix Prototipo from the b…
And because of the insane engineering effort, think-outside-the-box attitude and the biggest balls I’ve ever seen – I nominate The Crab Raccoon by @Evwan :
this is my submission for build of the year. it’s the fastest board to exist. even faster than @b264 's bigfoot.
This build is inspired by my first ever esk8 exactly 1 year ago on October 30th, 2020.
