Always land switch rodeo backseat, when I land it

Everytime I try to land my switch rodeo 5, I land backseat, I think I just can't spot my landing?
Or I'm too much flipping?

It's from 0:20 to 0:38

Looks like you're really hucking it off the lip of the jump causing you to land with a ton of momentum. Maybe try going faster and focusing more on the pop then flip in order to have a more controlled rotation. Sick tricks though! Would you mind giving me some tips on the regular rodeo 5? I've been able to get them 5/10 tries, but I usually land 450 and wash out.

Looks like the result of a flip set too hard, and a jump that's too small to really figure out a good air awareness for that trick.

For rodeo 5, It's hard to explain, but I will try. Just pop and start the rotation, like if you want so show your back to someone that is on the side of the jump, or like if you want to do a backflip, but on the side. When the half of the rotation is done, try to spot your landing, always look at it. Then try to put your skis to 540 in the landing.

Maybe my explanation is not clear, but if you have questions you can ask.
