in my defense there was nothing to leave to the imagination for a bikeboard.
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.
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
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
It’s honor to even be nominated, thank you. I want to enter the “Displacer” build in the innovation category.

Edit: removed categories. My bad
Epic man, thank you for the nomination!
I’d like VENOM to be considered for the street category.
We’re off to the races early this year, provoking the ducktator
All builds/build threads must have been completed by 11:59PM PST December 31st 2022 to be eligible.
oops
Thanks for the nomination my man! This one is definitely an off-road build.
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
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.
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
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.
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.

Not sure why you had to edit that pic
Here’s the real one for the masses to judge what went on that day
(Your fault for not putting a serious tag)
I’m flattered, thank you! Street category seems most appropriate.
I’d like to nominate Hercaleez by @ablairlamb
Finally getting around to documenting my first build properly. This is my first build and I’ve learned a lot and have also learned that I still have a lot to learn I had only owned pre-built Chinese boards prior to this build but I’ve been doing a good amount of reading on building my own all year and finally decided it was time to stop delaying the inevitable and start my own. I sold my Zeus Pro to a local college kid and started on my parts acquisition journey. I changed my mind…
Beautiful build!
Thank you Haven! I was actually going to nominate Lavagirl but Saturn beat me to it lol. Street category is most appropriate for mine I suppose.
I’ll throw the @Ace Unicorn into the mix here because of some cool ass parts. Plus it looks like it has rocket thrusters in the back.
The Unicorn [image] This build is the culmination of three years of scouring the globe for rare parts of Esk8 History. Its parts have come from/ been to; the UK, Spain, Czech Republic, Florida, Colorado, California, Washington state, Maryland and prolly a few other places.
