Hey erbody! This is my first build! I am in LOOOOOVE!!!
I am really satisfied with it overall! I wanted something that would pickup and go where my other boards would not. This meets that need. She will climb just about anything AND she fords water! Yep!! I love her and she loves the PNW!!! YEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!

Cool build. Have you tried the matrix 2’s to compare? I have both and not sure which ones to go with. Really like how robust the 1’s look and like the ride so far…
I like them and the look. I have rode other boards with the II’s on but not enough to tell. I would imagine they are a little more stable. There is a sketchy skinny riverside dirt trail I ride and this barely fits so maybe that’s a plus
My first ever build and mountain board. I should have started building long ago. My first board was a Boosted v2. I became Seattle ambassador and became kinda brand locked. Now, not with Boosted I am a ambassador for Hoyt St. and have more freedom

Ah I thought I recognised your handle. I watched some of your videos on YouTube and you did an Electric Skate podcast recently too right? I enjoy your stuff! I like how you want to build the community and be socially conscious. I think that’s the right way to do things.
Now, That you’ve built this does it make you want to tinker with your other boards? Did you find it pretty straightforward?
Yeah to a degree i do… with the boosted i have so many mod accessories there is not much left to do other than tap the power so i could add batteries, but i have long range boards for that… or add led lights that i dont need to charge. but then they are not as waterproof and i could do something more fun
Hoyt i wont be modding
The Bamboo GTR… im debating… i keep burning out motors and one is fried now and they are not in stock. i have fried 6 so far… so i think i either i do:
a) Fresh grip, replace motor stock and sell
b) Fresh grip, replace both motors with better 5xxx motors
c) Replace motors, esc, controller, and battery
So IDK, I kinda want to just build another mountainboard… lol
That’s the FIRST thing I would mod
After seeing the AWD EL1 raceboard I would be trying to replicate one of those! Except maybe straight gears instead of belt driven.
What are the chances the nice gentlemen at Hoyt Skate would build one of those to sell as special request? I live in the UK, but I could make a quick trip to Portland to pick one up and take that flight-ready pack for the trip home
