<p>A method of constructing a ski, snowboard, or the like having a base, a core, and a top is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing an insert plate, placing the insert plate between the base and the top, substantially surrounding the insert plate with the core, and joining the base and the top to the core. Bindings may be secured to the insert plate by fastening them to the insert plate. The insert plate includes a substantially flat portion and a plurality of threaded inserts extending upwardly to the insert plate. The inserts are integrally formed with the flat portion by being stamped from a metal plate that forms the flat portion. Apertures are also formed in the metal plate such that frame arms extend between the individual inserts to support the inserts and hold them with respect to one another. The insert plate is placed between the base and the top in a position relative to the base and the top for optimum securing bindings to the insert plate. The finished snowboard made according to the method is also disclosed.</p> |
