An adjustable mounting allowing rotational movement of a rider's forward foot when secured to a sports board, such as a snowboard, preferably comprises a scooting plate (4, fig. 4) secured to the board (S, fig. 1), a riding plate 3 secured to the scooting plate, and a binding plate (1, fig. 2) rotationally moveable with respect to the scooting and riding plates. The binding plate may comprise the bottom of a boot binding (B, fig. 1), and may include means, e.g. a vertically moveable fastener (2, fig. 5a), for selectively engaging apertures 3a, (4c, fig. 4) provided on the riding and scooting plates, with (i) upward movement of the fastener (see fig. 5b) allowing the binding plate to rotate between a riding position in which the foot lies transverse to the longitudinal axis of the board and a scooting position in which the foot is in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the board, and (ii) downward movement of the fastener (see fig. 5a) into the riding or scooting plate aperture securing the binding plate in the riding or scooting position respectively. The adjustable mounting allows the rider to selectively dispose the front foot in a normal, transverse position when snowboarding, or in a longitudinal, scooting position when propelling the snowboard on the flat in the manner of a scooter or skateboard.
