ABSTRACT:
A snowboard boot that is provided with a downwardly projecting ratchet bar (30) at its rear. A boot binding (18) on a snowboard (10) includes a toe strap (50) for receiving the toe region of the boot (28). The snowboard rider steps into the boot holder (18) by inserting the toe region of his/her boot (28) through the toe strap (50) when it is a loosened condition. Then the rider steps down to move the ratchet bar (30) into and through a receptor (38) that is secured to a heel region member (24) of the boot holder (18). Downward movement of the ratchet bar (30) moves ratchet teeth (22) relatively past a tooth engaging portion of a catch (36). When the boot has bottomed out, the tooth engaging portion of the catch (36) engages a tooth (32) of the ratchet bar (30) and secures the heel region of the boot (28) to the snowboard (10). Then, the rider reaches down and tightens the toe strap (50).
