ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to a binding that can be used for securing a boot to a snowboard. The binding includes a baseplate, a toe strap, an ankle strap, a strap fastener for the toe or ankle strap, and a movable linkage that connects the toe strap to the ankle strap, such that when the fastener is operated, travel of the linkage is produced, and such travel can secure the strap that is not directly tied to the strap fastener. The invention provides for the securement of two individual straps against a snowboard boot with the operation of a single strap fastener.
