freshiesat9 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I just picked this up setup for cheap. Besides the obvious bindings-on-backwards, can anyone tell me anything else about this board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teach Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 alpinecarving.com might be worth a look for the board and bindings (are they Burton Carriers?). Maybe it's the camera lens, but it looks like an asymmetrical board? By "bindings on backwards" do you mean it's a goofy asym set up regular? Hot made nice boards. Asym would be 90s. Looks like the Spot came out in 96? http://snowboarding.transworld.net/gear/hot-snowboards-1996-1997/#5x4xw53pAAEvWHww.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracan Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 The bindings are indeed Carriers. They have a reputation of breaking easily. I would not ride them unless you are a very light rider. The board came out no later than '97 or '96. My wife bought the symmetrical Spot in '97 or '98, and that came after the asym. Judging from the design, I'd guess your board is from around '92. In all probability, it was a decent freecarver for its time. For today, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Hot still have an online archive of 90s and early 00s models. I'll post the link later. Edit: http://www.hammersnowboards.com/Archives/site2006_2007/products/hotsnowboards/hot_archives.php Full Archive http://www.hammersnowboards.com/Archives/site2006_2007/products/hotsnowboards/1994_1995.php (You'll find your Spot here) Hot made good boards. I've just picked up a 1996-7 Blast 168cm (13m SCR) in good shape, and I've ridden for a number of years a red 2003-4 Blast 160cm slalom board.
