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.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An adjustable binding assembly which can be rotated and locked to chosen orientation angles without the use of external tools comprising:a rotatable boot mounting fixture, said fixture having a toothed ring with a means for locking saidtoothed ring in a fixed position;a slidable band providing for the remote operation of said means for locking, said slidable band having a first end and a second end, said first operatively associated with said means for locking, said second end extending a fixed distance from said means for locking;a band actuator, said band actuator having a movable member coupled to a said second end of said slidable band;wherein displacement of said movable member causes the said band actuator to disengage said means for locking allowing rotation of said toothed ring allowing rotation of said boot mounting fixture.
