Abstract:

A leg stabilization or performance system for a skier or snowboarder that absorbs part of the pressure on a user's legs and drives the resistance force down to user's boots, acting like a shock absorber is disclosed. This function also allows the skis or snowboard to keep closer contact with the snow, giving the skier/snowboarder more control through the turns. The performance system includes removably fixable leg straps, upper and lower adjustable leg shafts or portions, a resistance assembly with a shock absorber and a variable resistance adjuster, a boot attachment, and an activator switch. The configuration of the system allows a user to set the system to various levels of resistance.
