A shock absorbing device designed to be mounted to a sliding board, includes a mobile device connected to a mechanism transmitting the forces generated during the deformation of the board and including a part of a deformable viscoelastic material, such that the part is shaped in such a way that its transversal section varies longitudinally in an increasing and decreasing manner, to form hollows and ridges, wherein the distance between the hollows and/or the distance between the ridges varies during the deformation of the part.

A snow sliding device includes a first end body on which one end of a boot is caught, a second end body provided on the opposite side of the first end body and on which the other end of the boot is caught, and a main body which is provided between the first end body and the second end body to connect the first end body to the second end body, and in which an edge surface facing the ground can be changed and selectively used. In the snow sliding device according to the present invention, an edge may be replaced from a deck or another surface of the main body may be used as the edge. Thus, when the edge is worn down, the edge may be replaced or another surface may be used.

A snowboard binding mounting system. The system includes a base plate and a main gear disposed on the base plate, the base plate engageable with a snowboard binding, the base plate having a plurality of screw openings each extending through the base plate and disposed around a circumference defined by the main gear; a plurality of pinion gears disposed on the base plate and meshed with the main gear, each pinion gear having a shaft opening aligned with a corresponding one of the screw openings; and a plurality of screws, each screw defining a shaft that extends through one of the pinion gear shaft openings and the corresponding screw opening.

A steering system for a snowboard includes two binding interface pods, one of which may be active and one of which may be passive. Rotation or tilting of a top plate of the active binding interface pod in response to rotation or tilting of the rider's steering foot causes counter-rotation of a steering fin under the rider's steering foot. The passive binding interface pod is responsive via a linkage between the active and passive binding interface pods to cause rotation of a steering fin under the rider's non-steering foot. Coordinated counter-rotation of the steering fins causes the board to turn in the direction of rotation of the rider's steering foot when the steering fins are unaligned. Optionally, both binding pods may be active in steering, i.e. enabling two footed steering.

The present invention relates to, a sliding board, the structure of which comprises at least one lower layer, at least one upper layer, a core, at least one rail delimiting a groove with a top opening for receiving and guiding an anchoring component for a shoe fastening baseplate, wherein it comprises at least one serrated bar separate and spaced apart from the groove of the rail and designed to interact with at least one peripheral toothed sector mounted on the lower surface of the baseplate with a view to preventing its longitudinal translational movement, and to, a fastening device designed to equip said sliding board and a snowboard equipment comprising said sliding board and said device.

A snowshoe provides a way for outdoor enthusiasts to traverse the backcountry effectively and efficiently. The snowshoe allows the user to glide through the snow like a cross-country ski, but with the minimal footprint of a traditional snowshoe. The snowshoe includes a board and a binding mechanism that secures the user to the board, but allows for a pivoting motion. The pivoting motion allows the user to ascend steep terrain by performing a motion similar to cross-country skiing.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention would provide a rotatable footplate integrated with a corresponding bearing and well assembly that is imbedded into, screwed into, or otherwise, integrally a part of, a single-board sports board, such as a snowboard.
