This one’s a proper feel-good video — it’s handover day for Ricardo’s Evolve Gen 1 Carbon that I’ve converted to 4WD. He came over to collect it, we had a good look over the board, and then we headed out for a little ride to make sure everything felt right in the real world. I love these moments because a build isn’t really “done” until it’s out on the road doing what it was built for. Even though this isn’t a step-by-step build guide, it’s still packed with the kind of stuff I bang on about all the time: how a 4WD setup changes the ride feel, why a solid shakedown ride matters, and the simple reality that DIY and modded boards are all about tinkering, learning, and occasionally breaking things so you can make them better next time. If you’re into Evolve Gen 1s, 4WD conversions, or you just like seeing boards out in the wild instead of on a bench, you’ll get a kick out of this one.
