Daaaaaaamn Flyboy, you got half a build ready now. Deck, enclosure, dual esc, metr, davega, and riptide accessories! I need to see them all utilized in one build to sweep next year’s competition and win more prizes :eyes:

Many thanks to the organizers and to the voting community! Just a couple years ago I had no clue how any of this hobby worked, just that I wanted to skate. The people here are the pure reason why I avoided getting into prebuilts, by showing me that the electrical side of the hobby was accessible so I could sic my mechanical skills on it. It’s insane to me that y’all consider me a top gun after such a short time, so I’ll try to keep living up to it.

Is the ROI on BOTY >1? :thinking: [checks bank account] prolly not.

Not to sound ungrateful or anything but I probably won’t even be able to use all this stuff :sweat_smile: I think some of the confused noobs who come here trying to make tupperware boards are going to be getting some surprise equipment :+1:

Orbital! Fucking right my dudes! @Flyboy! and congrats @Savage1 and @rosco!

I really need to get one of those Orbitals tho. fucking stand on esk8 bike with no handlebars wtf even is it? Something I NEED that’s fucking what. Neighbors would shit on the sidewalk if I rode that past them.

A rolling chassis might be a long term goal for me to produce :thinking: Need more experience with the platform though.
I’m planning to part out Orbital eventually since it sorely needs a design revision, maybe you could snap it up @longhairedboy
