Default 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.

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.
