This invention is a device for pivotally mounting a snow boot binding on a snowboard on the upper surface of a snowboard, and by virture of a manually operated handle, allows the bindings to be changed in any direction desired and thereafter, with the flip of the handle, locked into the selected position. It includes a swivel plate on which the binding is mounted having a groove about the circumferential edge thereof wherein a flexible cable in placed and tightened by a locking device between positions allowing the plate to be freely rotated and a locked position against further movement, and further including a series of flexible bushings to absorb vibration and to flex when the user shifts his or her body weight.

A quick-action snow boot binding mounting for a snowboard comprising: a) first means for mounting said binding in spaced-apart, parallel planar relation above the top surface of an elongated snowboard for rotational movement with respect to the central axis of the board, including at least one support on which the binding is to be mounted wherein said first means includes: i) an adaptor plate for mounting on the top surface of the snowboard; and, ii) a swivel plate pivotally mounted atop said adaptor plate; b) second means interposed said support and the snowboard permitting flexation therebetween without hindering the rotational movement of said first means; and, c) third means for restraining rotation of said first means from a selected position of the snow boot binding including a handle operative from above the snowboard, for manual movement between a first, unlocked position where rotation of said support is not restrained, and a second, locked position, where further rotation is restrained, wherein said swivel plate is comprised of a sandwich of three individual plates wherein said middle plate has an outer circumference less than that of the other two plates so as to form a groove intermediate said plate about the circumferential edge thereof.
