Abstract: A snowboard includes a slide board and a step board which are joined by a connecting member in a substantially parallel and spaced relationship. Because of the elevated position of the step board, the snowboarder gains a leverage in controlling the edges of the slide board without any substantial effort. Therefore, the snowboarder is enabled to control the snowboard without requiring his or her boots to be fixed to the snowboard. Also, because the snowboarder can move his or her feet on the deck at will, this additionally increases the freedom in shifting of the weight. Therefore, as opposed to the conventional snowboard which does not provide any such leverage, and restrains the snowboarder's feet to fixed positions thereon, the snowboarder is allowed to shift his or her weight much more effortlessly, and perform a greater variety of tricks.
