This is my favorite disc, but it is a bit unconventional.

Lat 64 hit the nail on the head when they said this disc was meant for 'hard low line shots', and that is exactly what I use it for.  It doesn't mean it can't be used on open fields too, but you will indeed still need to keep it low because that is what it excels at.

If you do decide to throw a riot as high as you would a normal disc, it will most likey have an early 'stall and fade-crash' look that will make you look like a noobie, and I don't want that for you.  So don't do that, yo.

Considering it has a low glide and a flat profile, when thrown correctly [low laserbeam style], it is not easily affected by wind and is incredibly accurate.  Not much turn on it, but it will just keep covering ground until it starts to fade, and when it does it will usually skip once or twice.

There are many tunnel shots at my local courses, and sometimes I'll try to bomb power drivers out of them...  Sometimes, being successful.  When I'm not, I say "Ah, I should've thrown my Riot."  By keeping it low, I'm able to pinpoint where my shot will be because of how straight and flat this disc flies with minimal turn.  Power drivers will usually release a bit inconsistently for me, and due to early turn and S curving will end up catching trees.  It is true, it's not the furthest flying disc.  But it's still very useful.

I have two Riots, one opto and one gold line, both around 171g.  My opto has noticeably larger dome shape on it, while the other is flat.  It's the only domed Riot I've seen [I've checked out a few], and all I can say is that it can be thrown a little higher, and will fade at the end a little harder.  Normal Riots however, have a pretty flat flight plate, and that works for me because I just love flat discs.

Just got my gold line riot and i really enjoy this disc. It's very good on low ceiling shots. Don't expect this disc to be something it's not. With the -1 turn rating it can and will flip in a strong headwind...thrown with the wind it'll finish left but won't have great glide because it's not supposed to. releases clean out of the hand but again don't expect this disc to be something it's not latitude does a great job of rating their discs true to their flight. But again i reiterate this is a great disc just don't expect it to be something it's not.

Latitude makes a lot of great drivers, the Riot is not one of them. The reason you put drivers in your bag is to get more distance. For me, the Riot doesn't get as much distance as other similar discs. I think the glide rating of four says something about it. I didn't get a lot of testing out of my Gold Line Riot, as it got stuck high in a tree on about my twentieth throw. I had very few good throws with this disc, including the tree shot. For whatever reason, this disc almost always released for me at a hyzer angle when I was shooting for a level backhand release. The Riot seemed more overstable for me than I expected as its turn and fade ratings are the same as the Saint which I do not consider overstable. Where the Riot did work for me was with forehand throws. I only throw overstable discs forehand, and had some good success with this disc. If you're looking for a good straight flying speed 11 driver, the Flow is a much better Latitude 64 choice.
