ABSTRACT:
A snow board binding with an attached base, which comes between the rider's foot and the snow board, that may be mounted to a snow board. The binding base features a pivoting mechanism comprised of a spinning disk, a locking lever, a tension wire, and two static bolts, i.e., a first static bolt and a second static bolt. The spinning disk, located in the center of the binding base, contains four holes by which the binding is fastened to the snow board. The outer edge of the disk contains a groove large enough to accept the tension wire. The lever is located at the outer edge of the binding, held fast by the first static bolt. The tension wire, extended from the fastened edge of the lever, arcs around the spinning disk, terminating at and fastened to the second static bolt. When engaged, the lever pulls on the wire, tightening tension. This creates a heightened friction between the wire and disk, thereby preventing the disk from spinning. When the lever is disengaged, the rider may freely rotate the binding and his foot up to 360.degree..
