Whenever i Land my 5's my skis are in a huge  reverse wedge and my hands smack the ground and my head almost hits it too. Any clue what my problem is? Maybe im throwing a little off axis?

when your moving backwards your body will automatically cause you to lean forward to keep you balanced, this is because you can't see where your going.

what you should try doing is spotting your landing at 360 and keep your eyes on your landing for that last 180. this will keep you balanced when you land and you wont have to reverse pizza steeze down the landing.

You must be setting your spin a little corked. Don't throw it too hard off the tack off or you'll go on the axis of the jump. Pop first then set your rotation and it should help you a lot
