I’ve had at least a dozen people act like i made some ground breaking achievement. But more annoyingly. I’ve had a few people under impression i just bought a kit. Or that its just a single part bolted to a skateboard and now it goes zoom zoom.

Lol. I just roll with what they think and saying “yeah, something like that”. If they don’t know what it is or what it means that you built it, they honestly don’t care enough to find out. The most I get asked is “is it motorized?” And " how fast does it go". City dwellers usually have seen eskate tho so it might be different in your town.

It’s not a thing here just yet. Idk if it’s because it rains so much or that everyone already rides bikes everywhere. But yeah. Im a lonely esk8er lol

Definitely the same here. Just wait the day when I see myself in one of the funny russian YouTube Videos or an Instagram story… Really every single ride as min 2 people making a video from me. Min 3 ask what it is, how it’s called,what’s the price and if I made it by my own.

Sometimes, if your build looks too professional people won’t believe you made this

my parents, who bought the freaking stuff with their credit card (don’t worry, i paid them back) still say i bought a kit. wtf? do they not remember me sourcing the parts, then them paying on dif sites???

That board rack is so cool! I live in an apt where I can’t have a stand I screw into the wall and it looks like a perfect solution!

This was a really cool build and deserves a place on this list…

mmaner · January 2, 2019, 2:52pm

Thank you sir, I appreciate that.

Skunk · January 2, 2019, 3:00pm

I like it because its almost identical to mine

Komamtb · January 2, 2019, 3:01pm

To name a few, for me the AT weed machine, 13s evo from hell, and the stage Hummie build.

If I could nominate it for @psychotiller believe me I would…lol

Seriously there are some incredible works of art and absolute beasts here. I take my hat off to all of you… Well done.

The spitting image of yours…thanks for posting…

Having only been around this forum and looking at Esk8’s for the past 4 months or so this thread has been really cool to look at and hear the different opinions of builders throughout the year. Even though I had pretty much read every one of the build sheet for this year’s nominees I have absolutely enjoyed seeing the comments regarding them. I look forward to getting my build done hopefully this month and to see where this forum goes in the upcoming years!!

@mmaner you know you can’t use your admin powers to vote multiple times for Hazard right?

mmaner · January 2, 2019, 4:39pm

Of course I can, pffft

Skunk · January 2, 2019, 4:40pm

Just do what @anorak234 did and make fake profiles…

mmaner · January 2, 2019, 5:18pm
