ABSTRACT:
A snowboard binding system comprises a toe strap, an ankle strap, a heel loop and two pods. The pods, mounted to the surface of a snowboard, are located at the outside footprint of the rider's boot. The pods allow the snowboard rider to rotate the binding to various angles, to adjust the width of the binding to accommodate his foot and to modify the distance between the two bindings to accommodate the rider's stance. In addition, the rider's center of gravity is lowered, thereby increasing the rider's sensitivity to the board and enabling the rider to hold a better edge while turning.
