Alright I guess itās time for me to finally nominate some peeps. Here we go:
Billiam gorgenstienās @BillGordon Plagiarist. Itās pretty, functional, and classic.
Wait-
Bill Gordon has more boards than the Sexway X1-Pro? Yes, fuckosāa few others in factābut none that deserved to see the light of day before. But all that has changed thanks to a gentleman with a delightfully firm pair of buttocks.
You see, instead of manning up and doing all the work myself, I threw a pile of parts and dickspurts of money at @linny , and after he made me do a few other things I donāt want to talk about, he agreed to take it on.
The parts:
A TB40 V1 deck donated by the Dā¦
@Toughook AFLUX TWIN. Just beautiful color scheme and clean build
Been a long time since I bothered to do a build post, but I wanted to log this one as itās probably the one Iām most proud of. Itās my 7th official build and as Iām rapidly approaching the big 5-0 it also represents my mid life crisis build - though I probably went through that 10 years ago already.
To save scrolling down to see the actual finished job, here it is on itās maiden trip out in the spring sunshine a couple of weeks ago.

Alright everybody! We are nearly there. If your name is above, I need two things from you:
If you have not already, make sure you have stated in this thread which category you want to compete in. @BillGordon , @Toughook , @Linny , Iām looking at yall.
I am going to pull a glamour shot of your build from your build thread, to use in the voting thread. If you want to make my life easier, please either put your glamour shots in the first post of your build thread, or the last post (and tag me). Otherwise, Iām going to pull whatever picture I want from your thread, and I dont want to hear any whining.
Nominations are still open for a few hours, lets finish strong!

Is it limited to one glamour shot? Two? Three? More?
If itās limited to one and someone submits four, do you just select one of the three with no whining permitted?

My StreetCarver build is kinda dual purpose and now has off road tires and bindings, so although i still do plan to use it on roads at time, think itās best in the OFF ROAD category
(Iām still not sure about naming my builds )

I assume we couldnāt squeeze this past our feathery overlord given itās a bolt or two short of a lap time?

Loose fitting now complete, awaiting a few parts such as titanium mounting bolts etc and still need the antisparks wired in.
These builds take forever with only a few hours a day with which to further the project between kids and running a bar, thereās precious little time left over.
Amusingly, I cocked up the final shortening of phase wires and sensor wiresā¦ that aside. Iām pretty happy how the cable arrangement has worked, needs a few more hours of heat shrink and generalā¦
Similarly sneaky but this monstrosity was also revamped in 2022? I feel like this actually was built this year

Hi Guys,
This is the re-building of a Backfire Ranger X1, one from the first batch in the Indigogo campaign back
in 2018, though delivered early 2019. This was my first ESK8 and I was super excited about finally
getting one. Iām knocking 50 and used to skate in the late 70ās as a kid. But really the 80ās was my skate era. In the late eighties I saw my first powered skate board, a local guy had connected an RC nitro engine to a home cooked live axel truck. Quite fast, lots of noise, no brakesā¦
And this little guy for the amount of craft and interesting ideas, especially dem wheels and big olā lipo pouches
This is a build thread of my latest board. I call it Rat . I thought I might share it with you all.
Story
My first eskate below was a lot of fun. It was not perfect but it sure put a smile on my face. Sadly itās parts gave up on me many times.

Last year I built something else. This board is super sweet although it is far from practical. I canāt carry it with one hand, doesnāt turn quick enough and it is a pain to carry up/down my 3 floors.
