Replying to Brake eject problems landing switch (HELP)

YongLa:
NOTE: I USE FKS120

Throughout this season, I've been having this problem with my brakes that cause me not to be able to do anything that involves landing switch on jumps.

It's happened to me a couple of times and it's just a BITCH to fix:

I throw a 5 on a jump and the second I land switch, i just "catch" and eat it. According to the shop tech/friends, When I land, my heel lifts a bit causing my brakes to lower just enough to catch on the snow (and anyone who has even looked at their brakes know the problem that would occur here), my brake bend really far down (enough so that when I clip back into my skis, they are still dragging).

Sometimes I do land and I ride away with no brake problems but most of the times, I land clean and I just flip back due to my brakes catching and I eject.

Does anyone know a fix? Is it a loose binding problem? Is it just me landing bad?

Note, I've had this happen just landing switch off rails, and also small jumps.


Appreciate your help guys, thanks.
