Abstract:

A snowboard mounting system includes a first member attached to a snowboard and a second member attached to a snowboard binding and the two members may be selectively engageable and rotatable with one another. In one embodiment, the first member includes a lip portion arranged with a body portion to form a channel. The lip portion includes a slot that extends into the channel. The slot is configured to receive a toe portion of the second member as a heel portion of the second member is moved into the channel. Because the second member is attached to the snowboard binding, the rider may secure the binding to the snowboard by rotating the binding relative to the snowboard, which moves the toe portion away from the slot and into the channel. In a riding position, the snowboard binding is coupled to the snowboard, yet remains rotationally free with respect the snowboard.
