The real concept is the mechanism inside the baseplate for being able to adjust your stance without removing your foot. The rest of the binding shape can be whatever you want....toe straps etc etc. and yes the strap could and should be part of the highback...I didnt have the time or the resources to be able to do this, but there's no reason why it couldn't. I agree no experienced snowboarder (including myself) would ride these bindings cus they dont need it. However I've just seen enough beginner riders falling off chairlifts / button lifts / getting stuck on the flats to know that they would find it useful. And it would be nice to play around with different stance now and again!! Plus like some of you have said they could be good for the rental market....thats a pretty big market to be part of. But like I said this was just a project and was destined for the market. Anyways thanks for the interest. Have a good day.

I say learn to ride in your stance. No need to change if you are any good. and if not then go get some twin tip skis and hang with the other tools what kind of tool NEEDS to change their stance so often that this binding would be useful?

Since most beginners have no idea what stance they want anyway this would save the rental dept. the time on having to help them adjust their bindings. If the mechanism was internally cased within the highback and had a trigger to engage the mechanism and a safety to keep it locked while riding I could see this being practical for the small resorts that attract the wanting-to-learn crowd. Like most people said here, and I include myself, I wouldn't want a binding I'd have to pay extra for when all it takes is a pocket screwdriver and a mandatory break from riding (which halfway through the day I need anyway) to change my stance. Get the mechanism in the highback, and you might have a chance of selling to small resort markets. The most practical application of this binding would be to market to resorts for their rentals.
