Ok guys and Gals this is my review of the riot 5m i have a radsail pro 4m and have flown a bullet 3.5 so have not got alot of experiance with high lift kites but will try to tell you about the kite so here goes. Packaging: The bag the riot comes in is verry well constructed more like a walking rucksack has nicely padded shoulder straps a waist clip (with 2 little pockets for keys etc) and a chest clip, there are 2 clips one on each side for holding your handles/bar a big enough pocket on the inside of the bag that can take the linewinder etc and the bag can carry two kites easily The kite: After owning a radsail i was expecting a bit more quality not to say the rads aint good i still love the one i have but this thing oozes quality from the moment i took it out of the bag i wanted it in the air i laid it out on the floor and its big its crisp and colours are very vibrant(red+black) the material is light and crisp the edges of the kite have a edge to it i think dacron but i could be wrong the stitching is spot on and it has a line keeper made from velcro in the centre rib all bridal lines are numbered to make setting up a bit easier. Handling: The first couple of times i had to take the kite out were not ideal i would have prefered a little less wind and to have been at the beach but i did get to fly it beach the tide was in so off to another place lumpy air but flyable setting it up was a doddle had to adjust brake lines a little and then i was off the first launch well i expected pull but jesus its like a train it pulls great flys, exactly where you want and oh yes it can lift i was used to doing about 4ft jumps in similar wind with the radsail this riot oh my lordy friends told me about 10 ft was easily cleared it holds its shape really well and recovers great from overflying (the only preoblems i have had is it holds its shap so well that when it overflys it can roll backand wrap lines around but soon corects itself with a little tug) and in clean air its just flawless dont overfly picks up the wind and will lift you just when you want it to. Summary: Not knowing alot of kites i can only tell you what i know from the kites i have flown, this kite is an absolute dream for me it has the lift it pulls like a mule looks fantastic and works a treat for me and my landboard price wise i got mine at a good price from a local dealer (www.topmarkonline.co.uk)who has been great from the start with me and helped lots i would have paid the full rrp and it would have been worth it happy flying all.

Well i should tell you what it is and what it does so here goes The powerball is a hand held gyroscope that you spin in your hand by rotating your wrist it helps to build your forearm muscles( great for me as i struggled alot when new to the sport )and also works your wrists arms and shoulders. THE Packaging: The ball comes in a box with 2 spare strings(not needed later when you can start it by hand) and also comes with a little leaflet telling you all about your new powerball THE BALL: There are different balls normal ones that just spin and give you readings for various things there are ones that light up as you spin them and then there is a pro version with leds https://www.extremekites.org/uploads/rk/reviews/powerball01.jpg ABOUT THE POWERBALL The Powerball is the earths most powerfull hand held gyroscope that has zero vibrationand can spin upto 15,000rpm(yeh right its possible but will kill your arms trying to get near it my best so far is (11302 maby a forum wide powerball challenge?)it can be used for rehabillitation like when you have broken your arm and want it to get better or can be used to get your forearms toned up and used to being under pressure for lengths of time the modes that you can use on the digital display are total revs real time rpm and fastest rpm physical strength https://www.extremekites.org/uploads/rk/reviews/powerball02.jpg i supose the main reason i am reviewing this product is if any of you guys+gals are finding it hard on your arms use this for 5 mins a day and you should feel the difference i personally dont do the gym thing and this appealed to me right awaqy the only problem i have with it is that it can get to be addictive i cant help but try to squeeze an extra rpm to beet my score all in all i'd give it a good 8/10:-) By : chickenloop

the box came on my birthday as a suprise from my wife ripped apart the box to be greeted by a shiny new board read the instructions and put the wheels on in record time looks wise its good good design and looks hard wearing feels nice and flexible and feels like a good stance for me im (5'7) now all i needed was a kite so untill then i decided i would use it on hills and get used to the board how it turns etc the first time was brilliant went up the hill looked down it and thought god im going to die stapped my feet into the triple velcro bindings pointed it on a diagnal and slowly went forward picking up speed quite a bit faster than what i thought i would so i turned and the board did just as i asked seemed really easy to turn so i carried on a few more runs down the hill and then i started going straighter it felt like i was going about 20 mph when i came off but what a rush i couldnt stop grinning like a cat lying there in pain smiling my head off got up and ran back up the hill to have a great day playing and learning how to ride. i have a radsail pro 4m i use with it at the moment and they go well together after learning to slacken the trucks to make it better on the beach the wheels rubbed on the side of the board and has taken the board to the wood where the wheels touched and after about 2 months use at the beach the front tip of the deck the design seems to be coming away a little other than these little quibles i love it bindings could be a bit better but do the job By : chickenloop
