Any tips on how to not land my switch 5's so back seat? Should just grab and try to get on top of my skis...? Or does it have to do with how i come off the lip..? Any help would be great.

its all about how you come off the lip
its kinda weird to lean back but just practice
also bend down more when you pop
it will keep your center of gravity lower

Thanks, and also by bend down lower do you mean come into the lip lower or pop and go into instant gorilla steeze?

When your coming off the lip, make sure you set your spin on a more upwards and forwards axis because when you hit the lip switch often times your crouched over because your looking over your shoulder.

do you think that looking over your arm and shoulder rather then under your arm at 90 or so would help?
