If it was ranked voting, sure, let everyone compete for BOTY! But since it isn’t, we don’t want the votes to spread too thin. Hence only category winners.
Besides, the only way a non-category-winner build could win BOTY would be if the build didn’t really fit its category in the first place / was a hybrid of multiple categories. If the categories are chosen right, that shouldn’t happen

Worst case scenario if whatever we land on doesn’t work so well this year, we’ve learned for next year.

Here’s some of my nominations I have a couple more in mind to nominate just trying to find them
This is my 3-Link 18s5p Street Bro SS build! I love the Bro96 deck, and wanted to go for a sick, fast as hell street race that you can ride every day and take and actually race competitively if one was to choose so… I knew i LOVE Bro96, 3-links, 18s builds, and the VALKENS from land surf… wanted it to be clean and fast.
My mountain board has a battery box over the center logo… i wanted to showcase the logo, so i went with clear grip and i wanted tie the black, brown/wood, and chrome/silver toge…

I need a practical board with long-range that isn’t massive like the Cyboard . But it can’t be normal either because god forbid my board isn’t the coolest one at the group ride.
I named this thing “Rocinante” after the ship captained by James Holden in the show The Expanse.

The initial inspiration was @DerelictRobot calling me “Holden” at Carve PDX because, apparently, I look very much like him.

This will be a bit more than a standard build log. It follows me from my noob beginning of not knowing shit, and hopefully ends with a properly built board and me being a half decent builder/assembler.
I came into this community about July 2020 with much different goals than what ended up being quite the learning excursion. I ordered a BKB Tayto kit in July with the intent to assemble it and ride as is. Then research happened and I switched plans to do a de…
Righto Cocks (pretty sure that’s how this is supposed to start)
This is going to be long, somewhat detailed, and rarer than hens teeth. I’ll most likely never do another build thread and I probably will keep the builds a little simpler moving forward.
Bare with me. I am not known as a good writer and I am sure this will be a difficult read. I supplemented with a shit ton of pictures to make it up to you.
This has been the worst build for me to date. There was nothing but road block after …

WHENEVER I FUCKING SAY THEY DO. I’M THE DUCKTATOR, BITCH.
JK, there’s a poll buried somewhere in this massive thread where folks showed a clear preference for opening nominations on the first of the new year. So that’s what I’m aiming for
