ABSTRACT:
The snowboarding boot support piece and performance enhancement device is designed to provide the user with a device that supports the ankle joint, improves heel hold down and provides a more precise connection to the snowboard binding. The device is comprised of a single piece of resilient material that is shaped in a design having a base section and two side areas. The two side pieces are crossed which creates a single pivot point above the heel opening that allows the unit to articulate the movements of the user's ankle motions. The pivot point may be fixed by connection devices in such a way to fix the forward lean or limit the range of motion. The user places the snowboarding boot support piece and performance enhancement device is his or her snowboarding boot with the base portion at the heel of the boot and the sides positioned on either side of the ankle with the pivot point above and behind the heel.
