ABSTRACT:
A binding for use on snow skis and snowboards arranged to receive a boot of a user, as well as attachments for existing boot bindings. The invention is primarily effective as a high back snowboard binding. A forwardly extending leg bearing support plate or tab is located on one or both of the boot bindings and on the exterior face of that binding so that a user may lean into both the back of these binding and laterally against the forwardly extending leg bearing support plate in order to aid in maneuvering the binding and, hence, the snowboard or ski. The support plate is located at the upper portion of the back and extends around the side and forwardly of the leg of the user and slightly above the ankle portion of the user so that a user may literally engage and push the lower portion of the user's leg immediately above the ankle against this lateral support plate for maneuvering the snowboard or ski.
