A snow board binding includes a base plate and a longitudinal frame that is pivotally attached to the front end of the base plate. A linkage is pivotally attached to the longitudinal frame. A strap, which is shaped complimentary to the front portion of the boot, has a front member that is connected to a front portion of the longitudinal frame and a rear member that is pivotally connected to the linkage. A heel cup defines a bottom rear pivot point that is pivotally attached to the base plate and defines a front pivot point that is pivotally attached to the linkage. The linkage is configured so that when downward force is applied to the longitudinal frame by the heel portion of the boot, the longitudinal frame pivots downwardly so as to be parallel with the base plate. The linkage is also configured to pull the strap downwardly, thereby securing the boot to the base plate.
