Claim:
A snowboard binding with a sole-plate ( 2 ), which is capable of being fastened on the surface of a snowboard and to which an instep element ( 6 ) is fastened or coupled, which can be adjusted between a clamping position (S) and a release position (L) and by which the upper side of a boot, which can be accommodated in the snowboard binding ( 1 ), can be partially embraced, and to which a leg support ( 5 ) is pivotably coupled, which leg support can be pivoted between a rear entry position (E) and a front travelling position (F), wherein controllers ( 12 , 109 ) are provided by means of which a pivoting movement of the leg support ( 5 ) into the entry position (E) is coupled at least in some sections to an adjustment movement of the instep element ( 6 ) from the clamping position (S) into the release position (L), wherein the controllers ( 12 , 109 ) provide that the adjustment movement of the instep element ( 6 ) that is brought about during the pivoting of the leg support ( 5 ) back into the entry position (E) is greater than the adjustment movement of the instep element ( 6 ) that is brought about when pivoting the leg support ( 5 ) forward into the travelling position (F), and wherein the instep element ( 6 ) comprises at least one buckle ( 11 ) that can be manipulated by the controller ( 12 ), which brings about the opening or expansion of the instep element ( 6 ) when pivoting the leg support ( 5 ) back into the entry position (E).
