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.
FINAL:

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 @AlexB
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.

Excellent build, and excellent build thread! Build thread quality is an often-overlooked part of the BOTY process.

Im going to nominate Ronny @UFOskada , if you look through his whole thread he you will see why, its super clean.
First of all. I have to mention the choice of name.
Im a UFO maniac. I love all things UFO’s, aliens, sci-fi. I even have a signed Bob Lazar drawing hanging in my office. Mr. Lazar stated he worked on a UFO at area S4, wich he nick-named “The sport model”. This has been my build name of choice, even before i started collecting parts.
I’m a 39 year old Norwegian, living in a beautiful city called Trondheim, wich the vikings called Nidaros.
Though, i wish i could live somewhere the rul…
