Abstract
A binding ( ) for securing a snowboarder's boot to a snowboard ( ). The binding includes a baseplate ( ) in which a plurality of apertures ( ) are formed. Each aperture receives the base ( ) of an adjustable dampening assembly ( ). The dampening assembly ( ) is retained in place by a flange ( ) projecting from the lower extremity of the perimeter of the base, which is captured between the baseplate and the snowboard upper surface. A dampening pad ( ) is threadably inserted into an internally threaded aperture formed in the base. The dampening pad can be twisted, either by contacting the upper surface ( ) of the dampening pad with a thumb or with a driver tool. Twisting of the dampening pad selectively adjusts the height of the dampening pad, which has an elastomeric head, above the baseplate to adjust the fit and vibration and shock absorption abilities of the binding.
