josh -Frosty's advice is golden. from the sounds of your troubles its either all in your head as in you cantmentally picture it..which will cause you to fall, or you're opening up too early. Try holding your windup through the landing. It will probably over rotate you on the ground, but you can always toesidecorrect and spin back to riding regular instead of switch.If its mental, just know the moment you drop in that you're going to land it. Dont think twice, dont thinkwhat if, just know. This will also start preparing you mentally for things above 5's. When you go for 7'sand above, you loose your orientation so easy it gets scary, so you just have to know and have faiththat when you leave the kicker you ARE going to land it. You'd be surprised how much that helps.When I'm learning a new trick I just automatically mentally picture myself goi

You'd be surprised how much that helps.When I'm learning a new trick I just automatically mentally picture myself going through the bodymovements and stomping the landing. I've gotten to where I dont even imagine falling, and that takesalot off of your stress. It helps you focus. Take that in with the rotation techniques Frosty said andyou'll be f/s in no time. Just dont forget your b/s skills!
