🏆 2021 Build of the Year - Nominations

[Kai]

@BenjaminF

It’s a cool idea right up until you think about how many builds would be stranded out in the cold with no enclosure come winter time

Ok hear me out, zero dollars spent, spare parts contest.

[Evwan]

ok hoarder, that’s unfair.

Ideas for BOTY 2021 thread

In contrast to the ridiculously late start we got on Build of the Year 2020, let’s have an equally ridiculous early start in creating an even better Build of the Year in 2021. Please share your ideas and thoughts on how we can make this esk8 tradition better every single year. Thanks, you wonderful bunch of stale saltines!

Take it over here, yall.

[Kai]

That’s fair. My pre-adhd question still remains. I can’t nominate null, on account of all his builds being one thread, right?

[Flyboy]

Probably just means you need to nom all his builds simultaneously, no biggie

[glyphiks]

@BenjaminF

must have a build thread

Its the first rule. Its not really defined, but yeah, a dedicated build thread is required for a valid nom

This is it, guys, I’m converted. Longboards are out, mountainboards are in. Of course, my conversion project is ugly and uninteresting…the one that I put most of the work in is this yellow and black beauty: [IMG20210830091205] UPDATE!!!

The steampunk ending is badass

Holy shit, thank you so much!
I think I’m gonna go with most DIY, but honestly, just happy to be here.

Cheers!

[Venom121212]

I had never seen a deck with the hardware in a press before your thread.

Love it.

[thunkar]

Prototyping babe! I really should get working on the build thread for the modular mold our new decks are coming out of…you guys are going to love it.

I’d like to put my build in the street builds most DIY category Mark I - Iron Man Esk8

[jack.luis]

Why not the most diy?

[ShutterShock]

flyboy exists

lol

Who knows but it’s his decision - I think OutRun will win street tho

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…

And @moddedlife build gives him a run for his money

[jack.luis]

I have no idea whether to put cyboard in street or DIY

• Most DIY
• Street

You tell me

@jack.luis

Ender 3 pro for the most DIY winner

If I enter into most DIY and win I will give this prize to the second place.

[Flyboy]

True, those builds are awesome and have a similar level of DIYness.
I think mine was the most unusual though

PS: I’m recusing myself from Jackson’s poll due to a conflict of interest lol

[ShutterShock]

Lowkey I forgot about that one, it is pretty amazing too.

We’ve really got some skilled people

[Evwan]

as long as it’s not the offroad category so crab raccoon can win that.

[EreTroN]

I’ll go with the street category for OutRun. So many great builds here

[moddedlife]

I don’t think I have the most diy elements. If anything yours is clearly more diy. Never seen anything like the cyboard. You made the whole deck I think if I had made my own ESC or something else too then I’d have a chance. But if you’re not going in that category… can I switch
