ahhhh...... who to vote for.

my vote goes to chicago longboards. I look for a nicley finished board thats bit different from the norm. pushing the limits of design and function.

well a mini speedboard for your daughter is just down right cool.

My vote goes to Woodcock.

Its not oftern someone goes so boldly away from the traditional shape of a longboard with such success.

I also really like the different colours of the plys, makes the deck look realy nice. The whole deck is nice and clean and crisp. Loving it. Well done c0ck.

I Went for chillerdecks... The board simply looks amasing.

I went with chicagolongboards. I guess im just a closet hello kitty fan from way back. Also i have to agree the mini speed board is very cool.

I am blown away by some of the sweet boards in this contest.

By the way, the step-by-step photos are really appreciated, by many. Nice entries, fellas!

sniffleless · 10-11-2006, 06:02 PM

Good job guys. You all made some real nice decks. I hope all the photo documentation helps some of the new or potentially new builders see how it's done.

Sorry I was a bit absent this time around. Life called and things got a bit hectic at Casa d' Sniffle or the changing of the casa anyway.
Loki did a fine job filling in. Let's hear it for Loki! Yeah!

So let's hear what everyone thinks of the entries and the contest concept. I may keep the photo documentaion idea for future build-offs. Speaking of future build offs....The Build-Off will be back for an end of year fling around Nov and Dec. Keep your eyes peeled for updates.

I have to say I kind of really like Mikejnr and 1983's entries a lot. Hard choices as always. Maybe it's a good thing this contest wasn't a popular. Trying to decide over twenty or so boards can be like pulling teeth.

I voted for jestah or his unique approch to assembleing a drop deck. Some beatiful stuff in this build off though. The marquetry work was amazeing. Chillerdecks thans for the tutorial.

robotopdx · 10-12-2006, 09:46 PM

Amazing boards. I voted for woodcock for really inovative style and design. But I feel that Mike Jr and Jesta both deserve big points for true inovation. It is that kind of creative experimentation that will move the sport forward. Great job everyone!

Chicagolongboards.

You other builders made some sweet stuff, but Chicago's daughter is what did it for me.

Those pics of her just standing next to that board hit a little soft spot in my heart. And of course, beautiful work as always from Julian.

dcphotos · 10-16-2006, 08:08 AM

Making the longboard for his daughter was great! Sorry though, I had to vote for chiller. That deck was awesome, I loved the old Lesters and the inlay and combination of different wood grains got my vote.

Bam Bam · 10-16-2006, 09:12 AM

My vote goes to Chiller, that guy rips marquetry! Gotta love his use of Veneers!

woodcockrider1 · 10-17-2006, 05:02 AM

i gotta give my vote to my old man, woodcock longboards. Ive seen that board up close and it's sweet, without inperfection. i might have to steal it from him when i get the chance.

I am so proud of him!

Every day I either love or despise the name. Depends if we think of something funny to go with it on a shirt someday.

The next contest will obviously now feature puppies in the photos...

chicagolongboards · 10-19-2006, 03:35 PM

I have that covered also. A beagle themed deck will be next.
