@cheppy44 I'm intimidated to follow up with anything now too lol. But, eh just post it, it's the Halloween thread!

@lia fineeeee
Here is my costume, It took 2+ days of constant printing to make the shell and over 2 rolls of filament.

I then spontaneously decided to put leds into it so that took a whole nother day to melt/drill out channels for it inside the white bit of the shell

I was making changed to the electronics and the code 10 minutes before I left, but I think it turned out great on my group ride! I will also be in a night parade this upcoming weekend with a bunch of other people in my group ride group.
For now this are the best pictures I have with me wearing a Mario hat and Tanooki tail

Lia still wins by a loooong shot, but I won best costume out of my group :)
ohh and I was blasting mario kart music from a bluetooth speaker when rolling past groups of people in the city.

@cheppy44 See it's amazing! The shell looks so cool and with the additional LEDs... perfection!

No wonder it won the costume contest. Wouldn't be surprised if it turned more heads than usual rides with how pretty it is <3

blkdout

@cheppy44 Yeah, that's dope!

Franko

@cheppy44 haha, that's brilliant! you deserved to win.

You ppl r way too awesome!
Great ... how am I supposed to fall asleep with THIS echoing in between lobes of brain?

Lia

Look what we have here, a day early?
Must be feeling generous ;)

I finally finished the video. Soooo many countless nights staying up till like 6am to finish "just a little more" each time. I think it was worth it though :)

Have an extra spoopy Halloween tomorrow >:3

@lia Amazing video! I really love all the little details you put into each character and board’s costume. The visual effects are really cool too!

Lia

@cheppy44 Thank yooou~
Wouldn't have been possible without you keeping me sane these past weeks <3

Still have that last Easter Egg to find though ;)

Hint : It's next to one of the others.

@lia Used to work for starbucks before college, and they let me keep my aprons
Going to be a Starbucks Barista for halloween but I'm gonna to be running away from people in business outfits. (Starbucks union joke because my humor is bad and stupid.)

LOAFFETTE

@lia that is SICK

Lia

@loaffette Thank you :)
Hope you have fun dressed up as a Barista, be sure to share some pics if you get a chance :D

Had to have that joke explained to me, I haven't kept up with the union battle but I'm hoping the union wins ofc.

@lia -- Loving watching your Halloween video! The drama! The conflict! The storyline magic wand! The rich and playful colors! The video-craft! The slightly tensed and ready riding dance! The costume stockings!!!

LOAFFETTE

@lia I'll be sure to grab some pictures later, but I did have fun going up to the local Starbucks on campus dressed up as a barista

Happy Halloween Everyone!

@Lia Sick video! Music choice worked well!

Franko

@lia wow, the entire ensemble looks so great! and it really holds up well while riding, even on different terrain. great job on the video, too. i had no idea you were even making one!

LOAFFETTE

@lia i think i may try to one-up you next Halloween with my own OW mod ;)

Lia

@blkdout Thank you :) I spend far too much time trying to find a good song to go with a video. Really happy I got to use a Carpenter Brut track.

@Franko It held up surprisingly well. The gem just beyond the front pad came loose twice as the copper wire kept snapping and I lost 2 of the little potion pots but other than that it's survived even on wet terrain. That now means I have to keep it now and find a big spot on a wall to mount it lol.

@LOAFFETTE I look forward to seeing it :D Totally love to see a build process here if you do end up making something. What do you have in mind?
