Title says it all.
I can get the rotation around for a switch 5 but land backseat most of the times.
How can I prevent this?

make sure to pop and keep your head up. sometimes a grab helps too.

same problem happened to my friend, turns out he was absorbing the landing to much, try being a boner when you land

NO

as you land try to get that forward pressure in your boots. work on it with switch 1s and then just mimic the landing for the s5

Be patient on take off, on the lip open your leading shoulder, Pop and put your chest to the sky. oNce you have done this pull up your knees and look for the landing it should flip around nicely.

Dude, Hamlet... straight from the fucking top advice. Take this shit and wear it like a badge of honor.

If we don't see video of a perfect switch 5 then I don't know what else to say. :)
