ABSTRACT:
A binding that attaches a user's foot to a snowboard includes a footplate that is rotatably and continuously fixed to the snowboard and which is attached to the user's foot via straps and a rear support which contact a snowboot. An anchor fixes the footplate to the snowboard with the bottom of the footplate as close to the snowboard as possible whereby the bottom of a snowboarder's foot is as close to the plane of the snow as possible, and is slidably engaged with the footplate to permit that footplate to rotate while remaining attached to the snowboard. Anti-pivot spring pins located outside the outer perimeter of a user's snowboot accurately and repeatable secure the footplate to the snowboard once the footplate is in the selected angular orientation on the snowboard. A top plate includes a plurality of pin-receiving holes defined therein for receiving the spring pins. The anchor includes a top plate which is slidably connected to the footplate by an annular flange on the footplate fitted beneath an annular flange on the top plate.
