ABSTRACT:
A device for temporarily gripping the booted foot of a snowboard user to provide the user with steering control of the snowboard. The temporary foot gripping device of the present invention does not replace the traditional bindings on snowboards, rather it supplements the bindings to give the snowboard user a means of temporarily securing the foot yet providing for quick and easy release so the foot may be used to push off against the ground. The device is designed to be securely fastened to a snowboard. The device is most useful to snowboard users when they are traveling over level ground in a "push and glide" sequence of motions, when the snowboard user is queueing for and mounting a ski lift, and riding the ski lift.
