Replying to Avoiding breaking decks?

pretty much any time i try to skate a gap i end up breaking my deck at some point, and it's starting to become really frustrating and incredibly expensive because i have to buy new decks like constantly, and then i have to grip them and assemble them myself. does anyone have any tips for landing so that i don't break my decks so much? i know my problem is that i like to land with my foot in the middle of the tail instead of right over the screws, but how can i avoid that? i feel like having a foot on the tail is my natural riding stance and i haven't figured out how to manipulate my positioning and speed correctly so that my board remains intact. i mean it doesn't happen on every single attempt, but often enough so that if i'm sessioning something i may very well come home with a broken board. could it have something to do with tightening my screws too much so that my deck gets weaker? i have a stocky build but i'm not huge so i imagine it's not that.
