Abstract: A support frame which provides controlled stability of a snowboard while allowing the user a greater amount of foot control. The support frame is embedded within the body of the snowboard. The support frame is essentially a figure-eight shaped structure. Generally at the center of the support frame, the cross members are secured to one another. The present invention provides a substantial advantage over the prior art in dampening vibrations which occur during use of the snowboard in conventional snowboarding conditions. The support frame may also be used in a wide variety of other sporting equipment.
