Adding a note to rules about prize pool.
ANYONE can win SHITTY BOTY. In order to receive pick from the prize pool, you must be a forum regular. If you end up in the top 5 - you get bragging rights, but you don’t get a pick from the prize pool if you haven’t logged in and participated in the community regularly. Who decides? I’m chairman, but there is a secret cabal that is consulted.

My build of 2023 submission :
- Keeps giving me random errors.
- Gears are very noisy.
- Free roll is terrible.
- Absolutely sensorless little thing.
- Very shitty little short board.

Thanks! I’ll post up a picture tonight - I liked seeing yours come together too, you gonna bring it to esk8con? (if you’re coming)
You’re forgetting that it is a constant money pit and always requires your attention

Yep I’m coming to esk8con and the loud zoomi boi will be coming too. It’s mega fun and dialed in right now. The only thing I might add is a foot strap up front

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

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

. 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.
