is it true that if you try to 'back it in' w/ out a slipper clutch on a 2 stroke you starve the top end of oil and risk a seize?

Nope, everyone does it. Slippers wouldn't do anything on a 2 stroke, there is little to no engine breaking to begin with, totally different world then 4 stroke hell.

What you need to be careful of is going down big hills with the throttle off, but the RPM's high. The #1 rule of 2 strokes is; keep the throttle open, even when you don't think it needs to be. Even if its just cracked open, if your giving it fuel, it will survive pretty much anything.

8 specifically what does row 'back' when rear wheel kicks up mean? Pulling body forward? Pushing body back?

I will say what I have noticed when following these suggestions, that you will have to attack some of them one by one. Some you can combine to work on simultaneously, but others will have to be worked on by themselves. The foot placement would be one for example. While the feather braking and two or one finger lever grip, can be worked on together. Just a thought, but I found it a little easier to memorize that way.
