back roll question
 
I just started doing some back roll's today for the first time today, and they're sick by the way. But my inside lines keep getting twisted. I was just wondering if there was any other way to untwist the lines without actually landing the kite. I know there must be a way, I just don't know how to. If anyone could help me out that'd be awesome.

loop the kite and your problem is solved. :)

Practice front rolls and BAM problem fixed, or go with style and when you land your back loop go for a toe side turn while down looping the kite. Practice in light winds first, get it down and then you'll be tangle free. Heres a great video for learning how to downloop from the kiteboarding magazine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axGkmJYeO1A

buy/use a bar that has a swivel just above the trim strrap/pulley
you can reach up and manually untwist the center lines.
