2024 Build Of The Year - NOMINATIONS THREAD

[MichaelWA]

Dang, from the look of it I can see a bunch of the overthinking that other guys mentioned. Also, 2 inline fuses? For charging?

[Pecos]

No comment…

[MichaelWA]

I think that still look better than mine, except mine is hidden underneath the battery so it looks clean.

@MichaelWA

2 inline fuses? For charging?

Two fuses: one for the charge port, the other for an onboard accessory discharge.

I left juuust enough space under the lid to cram headlight control circuitry… I think

FINALLY ITS NOMINATION TIME.

No idea if this build will be done by then, it kinda looks done tbh. But i nominate this build!

Duality, a different approach.

I have ideas, some work some don’t. I was a little inspired from the speedboard, but i wanted a dual hub motor. I’m sure you guys as will call it the BatmoBoard or something I’ve waited to post the build as i wanted to ride it first and make sure it actually rides. IT DOES! Parts list: Flux AT2 deck, enclosure and heastsink 18s5p Molicel p42a pack (old pack) New pack build is (see post 110) 18s5p 21700 AM04 tabless cells.

This one was what inspired one of my recent 3 link builds.

ZELDA: 18s6p P45B, Duality, Deathtoll goodness

[IMG_7049] [IMG_7046] [IMG_7050] [IMG_7047] This board has gone through enough changes that it’s officially not the original board anymore, so deserves its own new thread. Some of this board started life on Hercaleez but at this point the only remaining parts that carried over to this board are the Tomiboi enclosure and gear drives (for now). This board is based on a @tomiboi Deathtoll deck, 43" au-natural finish. Beautiful deck. He got the flex just right for my not-so-poasty weight. Some…

And this, also inspiration for an upcoming build.

"The Overkill Express" A daily commuter/track weapon

Ok ok fine, I’ll stop lurking and actually make a post. Happy now @jack.luis ?

Hey y’all - 3 days left to get those builds done and build threads made!

@ShutterShock @zero_ads @Ash looking at you guys.

I’m going away with family for a few days so I won’t be updating nominations until after new years. @Pecos and others I won’t forget about you guys. Just away from computers for a bit.

I nominate @Dnollie for Obrua Nur

Obrua Nur | A Teens Esk8 Journey

It’s done now [IMG_0152] Hey everybody! My name is Denali, I’m a 14 year old living in northern California, (Grass Valley/Nevada City) Some of you might know me, I’m the noob here. I’ve wanted to build or at least try a mountain board ever since I saw one of trampa’s jump videos about 7 months ago, it just looked so fun, Especially because me and my family are avid snowboarders and the idea of riding something “like a snowboard” but more year round sounded so cool. (My parents t…

You did an awesome job dude, well done.

[Dnollie]

I accept
Thanks Gus!

[tech.shit]

That’s actually sweet as fuck. I’ve been waiting these pics and by sk8tan you didn’t disappoint

[Dnollie]

Thanks man

[Pickled_Monkey]

Project-Iron Giant

so where to start, this is gonna be an ongoing thread on the current progress of this project. it started when the ‘first’ images and videos of @NoWind psycho frame came out. so i actually had a good bit of the project lying around, i have a good few ammo cans lying around, and what you know i had the fat 50 cal perfect for the battery box. it had some dents and a hole in the bottom. hammer, anvil, welder made it watertight again. chassis is made from 5/8" steel tube (same stuff as my trucks)…

nominating myself coz this damn thing weighs more then me

@Pickled_Monkey

@Shadowfax

• Rules for Nominations: you can nominate yourself or someone else you think is deserving. You can nominate more than 1 person if you like. I won’t judge you if you nominate yourself, but everyone else will. (I recommend bribing or extorting a friend to nominate you - it’s a better look).

I would have accepted the bribe.

This build is SICK, but the BOTY competition is for builds and threads there may were completed in 2024.

It looks like your board was completed and rideable in Aug 2023, so it’s not eligible for BOTY.

[Pickled_Monkey]

i can assure you it was only rideable this year

@Shadowfax

but the BOTY competition is for builds and threads there may were completed in 2024.

It looks like your board was completed and rideable in Aug 2023, so it’s not eligible for BOTY.

updated in 2022

[Pecos]

I think the confusion is that it says august 23… the 23rd not 2023. Little mix up i think but an honest mistake. Took me a double take to make it make sense lol. Crazy build man, it’s like a quad you ride sideways

[Pickled_Monkey]

@Pecos

I think the confusion is that it says august 23… the 23rd not 2023

yeah it had me confused to, i was counting fingers going i swear it was this year

[Shadowfax]

@Pickled_Monkey

then finally rideable august 2024

Oh fuck yeah! You’re totally good then. Nomination accepted

Not required, but I’d love to see a build update with some more pics if you have them.

[Shadowfax]

I’m nominating @Ash for archangel. Been sweet seeing this build come together. It’s an absolute beast!

ARCHANGEL | Semenbone, Solo V2, AWD Track Weapon

As most of you know by now. Sidewinder was involved in an unfortunate accident and has since been decommissioned. Therefore, it’s time to build a new race board… although much sooner than expected. Introducing… Archangel, named after the Lockheed A-12 project which was the CIA’s slightly smaller and faster version of the SR-71 Blackbird.
