I snowboard and I can always do the tricks but landing them kills. Most of the time I get it but when ever I do a few rails I have a little trouble with my landing. it sucks

I'm not much for going in the park so I'm not sure what advise to give you specifically on here. But if you really want to learn your stuff in the park find a group of people that look like they know what they are doing in the park and learn from them. Or you can take lessons in the park. Many places offer camps you can go to where you learn from some amazing park riders, although this can be very cost prohibited. Those are three options though depending on your budget.
One thing I might be able to help with on jumps is I know you always want to land on a planned edge. If you land flat you could quickly switch to an unexpected edge and fall. If you know you are going to go for your toe edge when you land you are much less likely to land on the edge and not flat where things get less predictable.

take it step by step first think about your speed and gettin on the rail or hitting the jump (make sure you clear the table it may be scary but its easier to land) then if your doin any thing besides a straight air or 50-50 go into your trick then after your trick or near the end of the rail spot the landing and for a rail take a tiny hop off to help not catch an edge and for a jump just land on the tail a tiny bit to absorb impact and make sure you land on the bottome and not on your edge
sry thts so long

It's all about balance, and keeping your weight above you by not leaning back. Transitioning between the snow and a rail/box is key here. It's all about the take-off, or in this case, the initial transition to the rail. This will effect whether or not you slide the entire rail, and will set you up to either stomp smooth and ride off, or bail and risk a sketchy landing.
Envision the trick in your mind, and then do it. Don't over-analyze it, just get a mental feel for it and go. Also, keep in mind, you can't carve on a rail. If you lose balance, or slip off, just go with your momentum and bail.
Aside from all of that, just practice! I hope this helps. Have fun on the hill!

bend your knees and make sure you suck up the landings. this helps me alot when i land short of anything all you have to do it absorb it with your knees when you land bend your knees as much as you can.

you might want to widen your stance it helps alot with balance. my stance is 26 inches wide and i ride park all the time and widening helped me a ton. you also need to charge will confidence and be cocky, it helps just trust me.
