The first type allows the snowboarder to rotate the snowboard boot binding in relation to the snowboard by pulling upon a tether or releasing a lock. Repeating and rotating in the opposite direction leads back to the original angle position. These bindings are mainly either for comfort in the line or for one-time adjustments at the start of a run.
Bindings allow a certain amount of flexure of the boot position before they release under pressure during a fall. [9] Each binding is set for a DIN value that determines how readily it will release in case of a fall, based on the parameters of the skier's height, weight, age, and ability (rated from one for beginner to three for an advanced skier).
The highback binding is the technology produced by most binding equipment manufacturers in the snowboard industry. The leverage provided by highbacks greatly improved board control. Snowboarders such as Craig Kelly adapted plastic "tongues" to their boots to provide the same support for toe-side turns that the highback provided for heel-side turns.

[12] Since 2006 much lighter weight metals and plastics have been introduced into the binding systems creating a more responsive and durable split board binding.
