feet and legs on landing Can't Post

A friend of mine noticed a couple of weeks ago that I seemed to have inadvertantly developed the habit of dragging my feet and touching down with my feet slightly splayed like daffy duck.
Video confirmed that was the case when I would bend my knees to reduce the distance between me and the ground before touch down. I havent paid much attention to what my feet due over the past couple of years. Do you keep a feet thought when landing when landing ?
Now every time I go over the hill my first thought is where are my feet, where should they be.
Just wondering.

It depends for me. Lately I have been sliding out the end of some landings like a baseball slide and then using the end of the flare to pop up nicely onto my feet.

I have been too lazy to run I guess. Laugh
