Thanks Jason. This is a dope prize.
Just so people are aware. Let’s keep the prizes out of this thread.
The focus here is the builds.
At the end, I’ll post up what all the prizes are and who donated them, and who chose them from the prize pool. 
If you have a prize, please DM me a picture. I’ll add it to the spreadsheet
@alankerr I would have nominated the shit out of your lacroix if you had a build thread in 2023. 
I nominate The loud zoomy boi!!!
Its super cool to see boards pushing the voltage limits of the controllers we have available to us, plus i really love the photos of this guy next to @zero_ads semendeed! 
It would seem that there are a significant number of race specific boards built this year… i remember @BenjaminF laughed it off as a category choice… he may have been right last year, but it’s super exciting to see that it’s becoming a thing!
@shadowfax you can send my bribe to
Glyph iks
Australia
What can I say, I’m an out of touch loser 
Thank you kindly for the nom. Your bribe is in the mail 
Well when you put it that way, I guess you’re right!
. I’m flattered and damn…
I’m always late to the party! @jack.luis always hounds me to start a build thread. Said I broke the golden rule of naming a board without one. 
Maybe next year? Got a new beast in works and it’s already got a name. Hahaha
What can I say? I’m a maverick, can’t follow rules, especially on my builds. 
Thanks anyways! I appreciate the shoutout.
Hey Y’all. Big news. Shitty BOTY is now the esk8.news official 2023 build of the year thread.
The current rules all still apply. The only change I’m making is that the winners circle may expand beyond the podium for prize picks, depending on how many prizes there are.
If any vendors would like to participate in the prize pool, please DM me. All prizes and donators will be recognized once voting is completed.
@Skyart @tomiboi @ApexBoards @hoytskate @DuckBatterySystems @MoeStooge
Do riding photos count?
If not, use this:
It’s nowhere near its final aesthetic condition, but I just didn’t have time to finish it in 2023
this is probably the best photo of my board (it’s been updated since but i got no cool pics of it yet)
I didnt realise @JeffyJ finished this in 2023! I thought it was earlier. I know where my vote is going! Also a big inspo for my build as well as most improvements & upgrades made to my build
No build thread
Wow, so you’re just letting EVERYONE know I’m donating a large amorphous red crayon scribble? 
I thought you were supposed to be a professional.
Donating red loctite?
Dream on, it’s gonna be crayons
I knew you could not handle this kind of power with out becoming a dictator on day one
