<p>A snowboard binding system for a generic soft boot which provides a quick-release snowboard binding that retains a desired strap tension setting, and provides an unobstructed path for the rider's boot into and out of the binding when the binding is in a disengaged position. The snowboard binding comprises a base plate (18) secured to the snowboard for accommodating a boot. First ends of a pair of adjustable straps (36) are mounted to the base plate and the strap second ends are attached to opposed ends of a connecting rod (44). A rotating latch for engaging a bar is mounted to the connecting rod (28). The bar (33) is attached to the side of the base plate opposite the straps. The binding is secured by engaging the bar with the latch, and rotating the latch in one motion into a secured position. The binding is disengaged by rotating the latch in the opposite direction. The straps comprise a strip of material with a spring memory and are mounted to the base plate such that, when disengaged, they do not obstruct the movement of a rider's boot into or out of the binding.</p> |
