摘要：A highback for controlling a gliding board, such as a snowboard, through legmovement of a rider. The highback is comprised of an upright support member includingat least two portions that are to be contacted by and to support a rear portion of therider's leg and that are movable relative to each other for setting a desired forward leanof the highback. The support member may include a lower portion with a pair ofmounting locations for mounting the highback to a gliding board component, such as asnowboard binding, and an upper portion movably supported by the lower portion tovary the forward lean of the highback. The highback may include a forward lean adjusterthat that prevents the upper portion from moving in the heel direction beyond apredetermined forward lean position. The forward lean adjuster may be coupled to theupper portion and the lower portion of the highback to maintain the upper portion in theselected forward lean position independent of the gliding board component. A ride/relaxfeature may be provided to allow a rider to place the highback in either a ride mode inwhich the highback is fixed in the preselected forward lean position or a relax mode inwhich the highback is unrestrained so that leg movement is permitted in the heel
direction beyond the forward lean position. A locking arrangement may also be provided
to lock the highback in an upright riding position to prevent toe-edge travel relative tothe board for enhanced board response.
