DiveBomber Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 found a Hot "spot" 165, but its asymetric, looks almost wide enough to use with soft boots, for $50??? interesting play toy, or junk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 If i didnt spend all my money already, id consider it for $50... if playing around with it turns out to be no fun, ill just decorate my room with it or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipstar Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 got any bindings on it? If so, seems like an ok deal, although you can often get a better bit of kit on ebay for not much more. Bindings will be an issue if it is not a 4 hole pattern board and some hots weren't around the asym era. Also...I personally burned through 2 hots of this era and had a friend who snapped a whole bunch of them to the point they gave his money back and asked him to ride another brand of board; I don't think they are the best made board from 10+ years ago; but for $50 who knows and who cares?! Just make sure the bindings can be bolted on; might ride ok at moderate angles :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipstar Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 sounds like a good deal :-) At moderate angles asyms are ok for cruising aruond; I actually like the way that they ride (or from what I can remember). Try for a while; if you like upgrade to hardboots and bindings, then later on go to a sym modern generation board; by doing it in steps, you may be able to find some more bargains along the way! It might be only $150 to get a set of cheap hardboot bindings and boots second hand; however that is 6 times the cost of the board LOL!

DiveBomber Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I dont know, im looking at pics of asym's and theres not THAT much offset. I mean im not sure you'd notice that much of a difference when riding it. especially as a freecarve or soft boot set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
