Abstract
A snowboard binding system employs a frame system which substantially encloses the boot and includes at least two attachment points for engagement by a corresponding binding portion mounted to the snowboard. Mounts engage the corresponding binding cables on the board. The binding system includes anchor straps for adjusting snugness of the boot to the binding frame and adjustable toe contact cable which in conjunction with a forward-lean slide and adjustment member enables variable pivot point selection at the front of the binding system. An adjustable highback pivotally mounts to the binding frame. The adjustment straps enable control of tension for medial and lateral leaning to further provide a variation of the binding system control as desired by the rider. Further, the boot sole remains flexible, since no rigid plate or the like is employed.
