Abstract:

A snowboard binding apparatus allows a user to rotate a forward binding to a comfortable position upon, and only upon, the removal of the user's boot from a rearward binding. The apparatus includes a first binding assembly having an actuator cover and configured to be attached to a top surface of a snowboard and a second binding assembly having a rotating plate. The second binding assembly is operably connected to the first binding assembly and configured to be attached to a top surface of the snowboard at a spaced longitudinal distance from said first binding assembly. The rotating plate is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the top surface of the snowboard upon removal of weight from the actuator cover, while the first binding assembly remains stationary.
