I have a problem when i spin and land switch i always land on my tips and not even with the landing. I end up facing the ground and doing a hand-drag out. What should i do to fix this.

You just need more practice. Sounds like you simply need to lean into the jump when you takeoff (lean backwards, when facing uphill) . I know I had a tendency to lean forward (facing uphill, lean uphill) while skiing switch. You need to center yourself when you take off. When you look over your shoulder, you have a tendency to lean that way which throws you off axis.

You need to pop on the take-offs and commit to stomping the landing instead of bending from the hip to absorb the landing.

Yeah I remember when I started literally stomping. Instead of sliding to a stop, you stomp that shit and stick it
