You're not the only one with problems like this. On purpose I do that
when doing big hops onto small objects, since it seems to make landings
easier. Such technique is very helpful when doing hops onto rails and
other skinnies.
I have the opposite problem when doing big sidehops. When I face
parallell to the object, I tend to land on the back of my tire, so I'm
actually landing on the object almost backwards. It's extremely
difficult to land, so I've learned to angle towards the object by 25-35
degrees so that I land parallel to the object, although even then I
sometimes land backwards. I think this problem comes from the way in
which I lift the uni, my wrist rotates when I lift it super high.
Just practice hopping without turning. It'll work out.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
out?
