🏆 2022 Build of the Year - Nominations

[PedroMcJimenez]

This one definitely deserves to be here

AWD “Displacer” suspension board

AWD “Displacer” suspension board “There is no replacement for displacement” was the motto for this build. Heavily inspire by Psychoframe by @NoWind , once I saw it, I knew I had to build something similar with a focus more towards road riding. This board features a metal construction with pieces cut by Sendcutsend and welded together by me. The two swing arms at each end allow the truck angle to remain the same throughout the shock travel. There is about 2 inches of travel now with even more t…

• Absurdly powerful
• Fun af to ride
• beautiful battery
• innovative lighting with capacitive touch
• wheel balancing 3d print design
• almost makes me want to build a trampa

Carve PDX 20s Trampa Upgrade

So about 3 weeks before Carve PDX, @Takachi14 @poastoast and @Evwan kind of peer pressured me into making some small upgrades my Trampa build… I’ll keep this short and sweet Here’s the before: [image] [image]

Before specs:

12s8p P42A 60D (100A motor/100A battery per side) TB6374s BN AT - 5.2 ratio Holypro Trampa Infinity’s on Trampa barrels - inside position front and back

As I rode the board more and more, I got hungry for more torque and speed, I started to hate pelican case, and I felt li…

@rosco's StreetCarver

The StreetCarver [image] Ok, so early this year I set out to build an all terrain-pneumy board. When I started esk8, I thought these types of boards looked massive, clumsy and like they would ride like shit. I was more interested in urethane wheeled, street boards. Well, over time that changed and I guess I slowly became intrigued. Off road trails looked like they’d be fun to ride, and also having larger, soft wheels would be heaps easier to deal with stones, bumps and generally shitty roa…

@Shadowfax

for best street build.

Just a reminder y’all:

@BenjaminF

When a build gets nominated, the builder will select the category they want their build to compete in.

Please dont say “I’m nominating X build for Y category” because that kinda takes the wind out of the sails of the builder picking their own category. Please just let your nomination(s) be a nomination, and let the builder speak for themselves.

[Evwan]

@BenjaminF

I’m nominating X build for Y category

in my defense there was nothing to leave to the imagination for a bikeboard.

[Flyboy]

The boi speaks truth, I’ll go for the innovation category.
I will also shout out @lock with the belted one wheel, a very DIY project with some cool fab work.

The belted one wheel experiment

My last build was a Trampa. It turned out fine, a few things could be better, but nothing too annoying that I could be bothered to change. It was finished. I rode it for a while, but after some time it started collecting dust and a few years later it was sold. Building something like a one wheel from the ground up, which takes forever to put together and is followed by endless software tweaking made perfect sense. [image] Why the belt? Hub motors seem like a weird thing to be biased against, …

I place my nomination face down and end my turn.

@Flyboy

I place my nomination face down and end my turn.

Is this where you reveal your trap card on the 16th and edit in 7 other builds to your thread to sweep the other categories on a technicality

[Flyboy]

No, clearly it would be most effective to do that right after the polls open. You’ll see my urethane mountain ackerman steering board soon enough

[Titoxd1000]

It’s honor to even be nominated, thank you. I want to enter the “Displacer” build in the innovation category.

Nomination:

VENOM | TOMIBOI ODASHI | 16S6P P42A | SRB 3LINKS | BIOX

6 Months of dreaming, planning, buying and building. Im proud to present my latest build…VENOM. THE DESIRE Since I first saw @MoeStooge ’s 3link trucks I knew I would eventually build a board with them. I wanted to build a board that could carve amazingly and hold speed at the same time in a precise and predictable way unlike any other while also running larger than 6” tires. So I started planning. Special shout out to @rafaelinmissouri, @artwars313, @monsterbuilder for chatting with me for m…

Epic man, thank you for the nomination!

I’d like VENOM to be considered for the street category.

[Flyboy]

We’re off to the races early this year, provoking the ducktator

[poastoast]

@BenjaminF

All builds/build threads must have been completed by 11:59PM PST December 31st 2022 to be eligible.

oops

[tomiboi]

Thanks for the nomination my man! This one is definitely an off-road build.

[JoeyZ5]

Thanks for nominating me! I agree that it’s a street board. The original is definitely more off road tailored, but the new board is much more of a road racer. This makes me want to go fix it, because unfortunately the pack is still at 0V

[zero_ads]

Nominating @DeadLightning The Empress. [Tuning Stage] III:THE EMPRESS | Apex Bro / Airs / Chain Drive | 6384 140 kv 5:1 | 12s2p P42A | DV6 | | 8" Rockstar II

A clean, meticulous, and well documented build. And the use of the double capture loop key building on the work of others.

And @rusins Bussin Sporster. Bussin Sportster | DIY take an on Onsra

A classic Sporster build with stunning lights and a great battery jenga build.

[DeadLightning]

Thanks so much for the nomination @zero_ads!! My first mtb nominated for BOTY is definitely an honor!

I’d like it to be in the off-road category @BenjaminF

If anyone needs any proof here is it’s maiden voyage into the mud!

Many people have said this but hosing off your board for the first time feels wrong

[Saturn_Corp]

I nominate @haven 's Lavagirl. Always love to see a board with some serious thought gone into it. And I’m a sucker for carvers.

LAVAGIRL - tomiboi MTB | ubox v1 | 12s8p p42a | Luna 350s

Yo! First real build thread, forgive me if it’s not as elegant as some of the others I’ve seen. Super excited to share my progress so far – the foundation for this build was my evo, which was my first venture into a true DIY board. Everything before was either prebuilt or a deck swap.

Wrong, but oh so right
