A snowboard binding is provided having a base (1) to accommodate the boot of the user and keep it in a fixed position on the base, and a highback (2). The highback is adapted to allow the leg of a user to articulate through a range of motion. Attached to the highback is a system of springs (6) or elastic members for returning the leg of the user to a neutral position relative to the board in the absence of an applied counterforce. For example, the highback can be attached to the base in such a manner as to allow the highback to articulate in a range extending from a forward position to a neutral position, and optionally to a rearward position, the neutral position being disposed between the forward position and any rearward position. In this binding, a tensioning member is affixed to the highback in such a manner as to resist articulation of the highback to the forward or the rearward position, and to apply a force to the highback to return it to the neutral position in the absence of an applied counterforce.
