Described herein include various embodiments of a binding assembly that assist with coupling a user's foot to a sport board. A foothold or binding upper that captures a user's foot can be coupled to a part of the binding assembly thereby enabling the binding assembly to secure the user's foot to the sport board. The binding assembly can include a chassis that has at least two connector receptacle that each allow an attachment feature (e.g., mounting screw) to extend therethrough and secure the binding assembly to the sport board. Each of the connector receptacles can be angled such that a longitudinal of the connector receptacle is positioned at an angle relative to a top surface of the sport board.

1. A binding assembly for a sport board having at least two binding attachment receptacles in an upper surface of the sport board, the binding assembly being mountable to the upper surface of the sport board by at least two attachment features that correspond with the at least two binding attachment
1. A binding assembly for a sport board having at least two binding attachment receptacles in an upper surface of the sport board, the binding assembly being mountable to the upper surface of the sport board by at least two attachment features that correspond with the at least two binding attachment receptacles, the binding assembly comprising: a chassis having a peripheral member that defines at least a part of a perimeter of the chassis, the perimeter having a toe region, a heel region, and outer and inner side regions, the chassis further having a top side for receiving an upper of a binding that receives a foot of a rider of the sport board, and a bottom side that faces the sport board when the chassis is mounted therewith, the chassis further having at least two connector receptacles through the peripheral member, at least one connector receptacle at each of the outer and inner side regions of the perimeter and extending through the peripheral member at an angle inward from each of the outer and inner side regions of the perimeter toward a central region of the chassis such that each attachment feature engages through one of the connector receptacles to engage one of the at least two binding attachment receptacles inside a perimeter of the upper of the binding to mount the binding assembly to the upper surface of the sport board. 2. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein the angle is within a range of 35 degrees to 55 degrees relative to the upper surface of the sport board. 3. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a dampening member that engages to an underside of the chassis as the chassis is mounted to the sport board by the attachment features. 4. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 3, wherein the dampening member is formed of a thermoplastic. 5. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 4, wherein the thermoplastic includes one of a thermoplastic polyurethane and a thermoplastic elastomer. 6. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein the upper of the binding is attached to a boot that receives the foot of the rider of the sport board. 7. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein the chassis further includes a plurality of slots for receiving a corresponding number of attachment mechanisms of the upper, each of the attachment mechanisms including a downward projecting tab, each tab having a plurality of transverse ridges for engaging an engagement mechanism on an opposite of one of the plurality of slots of the chassis. 8. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein the chassis is at least one of formed out of a substantially rigid material and formed out of nylon. 9. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein the peripheral member includes a side member that extends upwardly from the bottom of the chassis and that defines a shape of the bottom of the chassis. 10. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 1, wherein a first of the pair of connector receptacles extending from the chassis on opposite sides of the peripheral member extends from an inner bridge area of the rider's foot, and the second of the pair of connector receptacles extending from the chassis on opposite sides of the peripheral member extends from an outer metatarsal region of the rider's foot. 11. A binding assembly for a sport board having a pair of binding attachment receptacles in a planar upper surface of the sport board, the binding assembly comprising: a rigid chassis having a peripheral member that defines a perimeter of the chassis, an underside, and a bottom for receiving an upper of a binding to receive a foot of a rider of the sport board, the peripheral member of the rigid chassis further having a pair of screw receptacles extending from the rigid chassis on opposite sides of the peripheral member, each of the pair of screw receptacles having an opening for receiving a mounting screw at an angle of between 10 and 80 degrees relative to the planar upper surface of the sport board so as to allow a proximal head of the mounting screw to engage with one of the pair of screw receptacles and a distal, threaded end of the mounting screw to protrude through the rigid chassis at the angle to extend under the bottom of the rigid chassis to engage with a corresponding one of the binding attachment receptacles of the sport board; anda dampening member that engages to the underside of the rigid chassis as the rigid chassis is mounted to the sport board by the pair of mounting screws. 12. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the angle is within a range of 35 degrees to 55 degrees relative to the upper surface of the sport board. 13. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the angle is 45 degrees relative to the upper surface of the sport board. 14. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the dampening member is formed of a thermoplastic. 15. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 14, wherein the thermoplastic includes one of a thermoplastic polyurethane and a thermoplastic elastomer. 16. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the upper of the binding is attached to a boot that receives the foot of the rider of the sport board. 17. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the rigid chassis further includes a plurality of slots for receiving a corresponding number of attachment mechanisms of the upper, each of the attachment mechanisms including a downward projecting tab, each tab having a plurality of transverse ridges for engaging an engagement mechanism on an opposite of one of the plurality of slots of the rigid chassis. 18. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the rigid chassis is formed out of nylon. 19. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein the peripheral member includes a side member that extends upwardly from the bottom of the rigid chassis and that defines a shape of the bottom of the rigid chassis. 20. The binding assembly in accordance with claim 11, wherein a first of the pair of screw receptacles extending from the rigid chassis on opposite sides of the peripheral member extends from an inner bridge area of the rider's foot, and the second of the pair of rigid receptacles extending from the rigid chassis on opposite sides of the peripheral member extends from an outer metatarsal region of the rider's foot.
