Whenever I land switch, even off the small-medium kickers in the park, it feels like I'm landing from a 60ft XL kicker, like I hit the landing soo damn hard. My rotation is pretty good... Any ideas/tips? Wtf am I doing wrong?

I’m not really sure if this helps but one of my coaches back in the day told me to look up st the hill then you land switch and keep your chest up.

lean back or your knees will lock and you'll eat it immediately

Okay mate I'll try that. I know that when I've been landing I find myself looking at my feet as I land so maybe looking up will help!
 
A problem I always have when landing 5s or landing switch on a big kicker is that I always seem to land with more weight on my noses. Sometimes it’s so bad I pop out of my bindings, any tips?
 
Try to imagine landing on your heels more. In one of the more recent stop it tutorials he mentions it. I think it's the one where he teaches the guy how to slide boxes

If you're landing frontseat that seems like bad form and like you're abusing the length of the skis. If you landed like that on inline skates you would fall on your face.
