Let's buy/build a high performance Esk8 carver/ race skate (for science, and for reals)

Hi kids, let’s play a mental game, for science.

I want to buy/build a high-performance esk8 board, more of a carver than an out and out Emtb, but with the possibility to race next year’s Outlaw series.
We need:
speed :heavy_check_mark:
Range :heavy_check_mark:
Sex Appeal: :heavy_check_mark:
Reliability: :heavy_check_mark:

Your options are:

  • LaCroix Nazare
  • Kaly XL2.0
  • Let me spend your money, Kook, and this is what I would build (described in detail in a post below)
  • Stick this poll up your ass, kook!

Kaly 2.0 because Gear drives.
I actually don’t know what the Nazare uses.

Nazare = belts

  • for Nazare, bigger battery, great support, hyper-trux, sexy wood deck

  • for Kaly, gear drive, a bit cheaper, supposedly rides like a dirt bike on steroids, MMmmmm carbon fiber and gas petals

  • for a DIY build, maybe better performance, ego, a good mental puzzle

I think @DerelictRobot is close with his Lovechild build.
If you manage to get Gears on the hyper trucks, you’d have such a good board.
Thats if you want a challenge, if not, i’d probably opt for Nazare.

Nazare is far better than a Kaly is almost every aspect, I love mine and I just got it

If i were to build one,

12s5p of 30Q, or 12s4p of 30T/40T cells.
Landyachtz Evo 40/Subsonic century with Eboosted enclosures
Avio Herringbone gear drives MK2 with Kahua precision trucks, and Bergmeisters
VESC6, maybe the new TB 6.64 if it works out to be reliable.

That nazare is a fucking boat. I had to reposition myself before every turn. If I was Shaq, I would ride it.

Interesting, I haven’t ridden either one, may I ask your weight in cream-filled donuts, and height in stacked stripper heels?

That’s a bad representation haha.

I’m a lightweight but pretty average height and shoe size.

150 lbs, 5’10", 10.5 US shoe size.

Size 12 penis.

I loved that deck. Got to ride it before and after the Lacroix and highly preferred it. I’d build a Kaly with mbs matrix trucks or similar urethane shock blocks.

Oh hey lovechild…

I’m about 30lbs heavier and a couple of inches taller and have a retracted penis, do you think your light-weight had anything to do with the Nazare’s handling?

If you were given a Nazare, what would YOU do to makeit more to your liking?
