Whitey is right on about spotting your landing, experiment at lower heights before going big, get timing and edge release right first while envisioning the arc and peak, of your jump as well as the landing. Don't steer away too much from the kite, you may be steering yourself into a spin, or doing an unplanned "alley oop" by not edging away enough at takeoff.(going "under" the kite and it twists you around) That might be from 2 much speed also.
Bend you knees when you jump,do a grab with your back hand and hold it until after you peak, it adds stability.
Move on to something else for a while and come back to it sometimes helps.
Happy Boosting!
