An adjustable snowboard binding assembly which can be rotatably controlled without the use of external tools. A snowboard boot mounting platform has a plurality of inwardly facing radial teeth along the circumference of a centralized circular cutout. A circumferential lip along the cutout is used to rotatably mount the platform via overlapping lipped quadrant segments which mount to the snowboard. A pair of radially sliding segments with teeth at their outer ends are slidably held by said quadrant segments. A slidable band is mounted via actuating/locking levers along the longitudinal length of the snowboard, with said band having upwardly extending posts which interface with angled slots formed in each sliding segment. In operation, the actuating levers are unlocked and the band slides forwards and backwards to effectuate radial movement of the sliding segments. This in turn effectuates locking engagement and disengagement between the radial circumferential teeth and the sliding segment teeth. This adjustment operation can be performed by the user without removing the boot from the mounting platform and without loosening screws or other attachment means.

An adjustable snowboard binding assembly which can be rotated and locked to chosen orientation angles without the use of external tools comprising: a snowboard with attachment holes and a fore and aft end; a rotatable binding platform with a centralized circular cutout having a plurality of radially oriented inwardly facing circumferential teeth, and an inwardly extending circumferential lip; a pair of side segments having guide rails extending laterally along their sides, an angled receiving slot, and an outwardly facing toothed edge; a set of four quadrant sections, each having a radially extending tongue for interfacing with said lip, a lateral receiving track for receiving said rail, and an attachment hole for an attachment means; a slidable band extending along the longitudinal length of the snowboard with a pair of laterally extending side tabs, each side tab having an upwardly extending post; wherein said attachment means attaches said quadrant sections to said snowboard so that said platform is rotatable held via said interfacing lip and tongue, and said side segments are slidably held via said interfacing rail and track, and said posts are received in said angled slots and thereby control the lateral sliding movement of said side segments via movement of said band so that said teeth on said side segments engage or disengage said teeth on said platform.
