Switch spins + steep kickers = trouble

We have only got one jump at my home hill/mountain and it has got a pretty steep kicker. Im comfortable riding switch but when it comes to jumping I always land with my weight too much back. I´ve gotten switch 5´s around but they arent that smooth and the landing isnt the best.
What should I do to avoid these problem and does anyone have any hints on how to jump switch in steep jumps.
Any hint is welcome, weight on toes or heels, stagger your feet or not etc.

I know what your talking about, i've had that problem. Just keep your weight more forward and spot your landing.

Your problem is when you hit the jump your probably leaning to hard to you back tips because your afraid of stayin more centered which sounds like your gettin a shitty pop. Try staggering your feet and bending your knees a bit more
