Tips on how to land a lot less harder?

I've been struggling with skating because I land harder. The harder I land, the more I eat shit whenever I bail.

That's awesome when you land like a ton of bricks. Why would anyone prefer to land like a bitch?

Until you break 3 boards in a week and have no skateboard or money....

Straighten your back & use your thighs/quads to absorb the impact, kinda like a squat. Feels weird at first but it makes your square your knees & shoulders better and it's easier on your body whether your bail or not. You're using your strongest muscles to take the bulk of the energy absorbed on impact
