Replying to Switch on Urban Drop in

Hey guys I was wondering about some tips to dropping in switch on an urban drop in/summer setup drop in, I tried it this past year and just ended up somersaulting backwards and had to have my friend just push me on the flat instead. Is it just because I'm tall or do I need to bend my knees more or distribute my weight differently? Sadly I don't have a video but +k for thoughtful responses.
