ABSTRACT:
A single, telescoping, collapsible, quick-release snowboarding pole with leg mounting system includes a telescoping, collapsible pole and leg mounting assemblies, to secure the pole, in the collapsed position, to the lower leg of an individual, such as a snowboarder. This invention allows the user to quickly release the collapsed pole from the leg mounting assemblies and extend and lock the telescoping pole, to use as needed, usually to gain momentum while snowboarding or performing other outdoor sports. The pole comprises three sections of telescoping tubing, the lower pole section sliding into the middle pole section which then slides into the upper pole section, in the collapsed position. The pole is locked into its extended position by way of two snap-lock buttons positioned inside the middle and lower pole sections, respectively. The pole also comprises a palm-grip paddle handle attached to the top of the upper pole section and an inverted, snowboard-shaped basket, mounted perpendicularly, at an angle, to the lower pole section near the pole tip. The two mounting assemblies, attached to the user's ankle and upper calf just below the knee, respectively, comprise molded plastic mounting brackets which permit the quick attachment and release of the collapsed pole from the user's leg.
