I have been getting into freestyle skiing recently and I realized that whenever I'm landing switch I land super front heavy. When I take off switch I find it difficult to pop properly and keep my self in balance while in the air. Any tips or tricks?

look back up the landing (hill) when landing switch, not at your tips or over your shoulder. When you get the hang of it and have good balance, you can start landing while looking over your shoulder for max steeze
