If I get you correctly, you can do a skip-less remount, but you just land too hard? But if you skip, you don't land too hard?

I recommend practicing very very slowly. Start from a standstill at first, just getting on your bike. Then add a step, then another, etc etc. Also, when you are remounting, you can support a fair amount of your weight on the bars. Also, visualize your right knee tracing a counter-clockwise circle, ending with your first pedalstroke. HTH
