	Fabric:- The Riot is made from high tenacity Porcher Sport 767 Rip-Stop Nylon fabric with an Edelrid SK 75 Dyneema (same as Spectra) sewn Bridle. Flying Lines:- Riot kites come complete with either Control Handles with "Kite Killers" or Control Bar with safety leash, pre-stretched color-coded Dyneema (same as Spectra) flying lines and detailed user manual. Line sets are 25m (82 feet approx.) long and 180kg over 110kg. The Riot has a fixed bridle which means it is not design for flying from a de-power control bar. It is a full power on kite suitable for the experienced pilot who wants fast turning speed and direct handling. Good for kite buggying.
As with all sports equipment exposed to natural elements such as wind, sea water, dust, sand and sunlight, life expectancy varies. With heavy use in these conditions, these kites can be expected to remain operationally effective for a minimum of 2 years. Of course, with moderate use and care, this time period can be lengthened considerably. To optimize performance, it is suggested that equipment be updated and/or replaced routinely.

Like the rest of Ozone's kite range, the Riot is manufactured in their own production facility to the same high standard as their certified paragliders. The bridle lines are a mixture of Edelrid sheathed and unsheathed Dyneema. The sheathed Dyneema was chosen for the main bridle lines with the upper lines in un-sheathed Edelrid SK 75 Dyneema, chosen for its thin diameter to give ultimate low drag performance. The Riot is suitable for intermediate through expert riders looking for a "full power on" ram-air kite for land and snow. It's a medium to high aspect ratio kite that packs a punch experienced flyers will love. Smaller sizes are intended for strong winds and the larger sizes for light wind conditions, though the operating range of each Riot will largely depend on the flyers skill level with this type of kite.

Getting started:- When Traction Kiting, select a size that fits your ability and prevailing wind conditions. No matter what type of kite you use for Kite Traction, there are a number of things to remember when selecting the best size to start with. Your choice will depend on the Surface; (Skis on snow or ice, Kite Buggy on soft or hard sand, grass or hard ground), the Wind Speed, Flyer Skill and Experience and Flyer Weight. Whether the flyer is a novice or has a lot of Traction Kiting experience, the best choice is the smallest kite that will produce enough power to move. It is essential not to be overpowered, not just because it's obviously safer, but upwind travel will be easier and less power is easier to manage. A mid-size kite is ideal to get familiar with control on solid ground in a modest steady wind. Once you are confident that you can control the kite, then progress to Skis, SnowBoard or Land Board.

These kites produce considerable pull and are not suitable for inexperienced flyers. Always learn to control the kites before attempting kite traction activities. Sensible saftey precautions should be followed when flying these kites and protective clothing, especially sturdy shoes and a helmet should always be worn when using them for traction. Read instructions and safety warnings in with every kite.
