A hinged rotatable binding system for snowboards that eliminates leg pain while on the chair lift and in movement through lift lines. The binding system includes a base plate which is fixed to the snowboard and a top rotating plate which is mountable to a boot binding harness. A hinge plate connects the base plate to a mid static disk. The binding system includes a latch lever which acts as a hands-free locking system that is mounted through an outer ridge of the base plate and connected to a retractable plunger. The binding system is provided with an internal hinge and a number of friction plates therefore, fewer parts are needed. The hinged rotatable binding system for snowboards is a cost effective and light weight model with simple assembly features.
