I have an 07 slingshot fuel which when I do backrolls etc the middle 3 lines twist up. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

loop the kite back the other way while doing your back roll, learn front rolls or start doing back rolls in the other direction, or you can do a down loop turn spin out your bar then do a back roll spin out the bar and every thing should be strait. Most kites twist up the centre lines some you can unwind on the water but you are better of trying to reduce the twists with some of the above techniques.

Not on the '07 stock set up which came as 5th line or if you leash to one of the front lines in 4 line.
Only way is to ride suicide or as above either do a back then a front. The alternative is to learn back rolls on both tacks which will unspin them.

yep, will work on the '07 Fuels set up - same as rev - if he wants to unclip the leash while riding.
Not sure about number 6 - don't you need some other brand of kite to pull off a mega kook loop?
