keep your eyes open, look where you want to land, extend the legs, and bam.

when i started 5's i always landed with my hands dragging and out of control, when you spot your landing, just make sure your not really bent at the waist or knees, not locked out but not super bent, just upright ish. that should help

make sure you have plenty of time before you land so you're ready to take the impact.

can you land big 1s ? jea? then stop being a pussy!! lean forward (which will actually be leaning ass out down the landing ) and that will help. stomp that shit out like a real man tho!! get the 1s down and you shouldnt have a problem..

when i throw my 5s my skis just seem to come around...thats all i can say

sorry this wasnt probably any help to ya

you can lean back a lot furhter than you think and still ride it out switch. i use to have the problem of leaning waay to far forward and dragging my hands and ejecting. but if you just commmit to a centered landing you will be fine

when i started doing 5s i was always worried about the rotation not the landing. ive never had a problem of falling because i was switch when doin a 5, if i fall its because i suck and my rotation or grab through me off balance or something. but yea as if u were doing a 3, just site ur landing and its easier if u do them slow too and use ur grab to slow it down some
