OZONE TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS Technology is the future, there is no doubt. But what is the difference between technology and gimmicks? The answer is marketing. We spend more of our time testing and designing wings than we do marketing them. We just prefer it that way. The hard truth is that the most important features in a wing are invisible. Sail tension, for instance, has a massive effect on performance and handling at every point of your glider’s flight range. But you can’t touch it with your fingers, or point to it in a photo. The amount of internal construction (and thus weight) affects everything from launching to incident recovery. And the amount of lines on your wing is crucial to drag and glide performance. We won’t be inventing marketing schemes to push our breakthroughs in any of these categories, but we think that you’ll feel them in the wing. Call us simple, but we like it that way. That being said, even Black Sheep sometimes want to join in the fun that the rest of the flock is having, and since everyone else has names for their gimmicks we’ve decided to add some of our own: 13 The Ozone FUN System: It’s a novel concept, and we’re proud to have been the first to develop it. The FUN system has two main ingredients: You, and your Wing. This system allows you to explore and experience the planet, and we recommend that you use it as frequently as possible. The FUN system will help you to remember that pleasure should always be the motive! We fly because it’s FUN. Black Sheep Technology: It’s not BS, it’s BST. For some, technology is a gimmick*. For us, gimmicks are for laughs, and we take technology seriously. Some try to hide their gimmicks by giving them technical sounding acronyms**, and now we’ve decided to use some acronyms because the boss asked why we didn’t have any! What sets us apart from our competition is a distinct lack of gimmicks. We realize that. But we’re fine with being different - it’s been that way from the beginning and we prefer it that way. In fact, 10 years ago in 1998, Ozone was founded with Black Sheep Technology. If you want more tech details, check our designer’s notes. The BH / LBH Systems: Now it’s time to get serious. Seriously. Not that we weren’t serious before. But check this out: A few years ago we invented the Butthole, and we’re really proud of it. We use our Buttholes a lot, and we think it’s an exceedingly useful piece of technology that no one should be without. And now we’ve taken it to a whole new level with the release of the Leaky Butthole. This new piece of technology allows you to leave your Butthole open to drain sand when dune soaring, or to allow debris to clear from your wing automatically while in flight. It’s just another piece of hardcore technology from your friends at Ozone. * Gimmick; to equip or embellish with unnecessary features, especially in order to increase saleability, acceptance, etc. ** Acronym; a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, as in BS from Bull Shit.
It started as a group of pilots with an idea. Build wings that just do everything better: handle better, turn tighter, glide faster, and are more comfortable to fly. Balance all those together, and never compromise. The result is something most pilots can only dream of: the most potent fun factor in paragliding. True performance is an overall quality - a balance of ideals. A glider with the highest glide ratio on paper is worthless in active air if it has a fragile leading edge, if it is unstable on speed bar, or if it doesn’t turn tight when you need it to. Get a feel for the glider’s True Performance, and don’t be fooled by advertised statistics. You are the pilot: trust your feelings. 14
