Binding, lunge, split
Binding, lunge, split 1. In fencing the fixing and pushing aside of the opponent’s blade, by controlling the opponent’s blade the opening for a possible hit is increased. 2. In skiing a device which fixes the ski boot to the skiing bindings for cross-country and alpine skiing are designed differently. The safety binding is used in alpine skiing. It consists of a toe-piece (at the tip of the ski boot), a heelpiece, and a ski break which helps to prevent the ski from sliding down the ski slope after the binding has been released. The safety binding has elasticity in all three dimensions. In case of frontal falls the heel- piece opens automatically, when a twisting fall occurs toe- and heelpiece open, these safety features greatly reduce the danger of injury which may be caused by the rigid fixation of the boot on the skiing on touring skis the bindings are also equipped with toe-irons for better stability and the option of lifting the heel is provided. In nordic skiing there are two variants, one for crosscountry skiing and one for ski-jumping. The binding on the cross-country ski affixes the boot at the toes and the heel is free in order to be able to optimally perform skating and classic cross-country skiing techniques. In ski jumping a cable binding with toe-irons is used which lends lateral stability but also makes free heel movement possible during the forward lean of the body. Bindings for telemark skis are similar to those of ski-jumping. In snowboarding two general types of binding are used to fix the snowboard boot on the snowboard: hard bindings which keep the hard snowboard or touring boot (made of plastic) firmly fixed to the board by means of two metal clips mounted to the board (safety bindings are also used by some snowboarders), soft bindings which hold a softer boot on the board by means of a plastic shell and two or three buckles allow more flexibility for forward and lateral movements (especially for freestyle manoeuvres).
