Cause those rings are like $10 and I only had one
 When you use it to self land, bring the kite down low and make sure the ring you release to is the one going to the top edge of the kite. It'll plop right down nice and pretty.

the rev uses a bungee line that attatches to one of the front lines. There is not actual flying tension on it under normal circumstances, which is why its a bungee. A standard length line would be too slack, and in the way especially once you depower the kite a little bit. once the cl is released, the front line slides through a small stopper ball and the bungee pulls tight; flagged kite. I have no idea why mine broke, but it snapped clean and bye bye kite. (this was after the CL line broke) Fortunately is was tamed before becoming a hazard on the beach or getting damaged, although i was so pissed i was going to leave that thing in whatever tree or building it got wrapped up in
 Moral of the story? just bought a new 8 and 12 meter SB3's

BTW LSUKiter, I think you only really need one... I've never had two... one is enough... I actually think it's safer because you always know which side of the kite it's connected to, where with two you'd have to unspin lines, double check, etc before self landing.
I always connect my ring line to the right side of the kite... so I always land with the kite to my left.
