When you kick out, try to hold the slide all the way over the concave. If you do, it kinda shoots your foot a bit more up. This way, you will have more time to get it back on the board. Also, try not to kick down. I had the same problem but now I can do them alright.

When the board is flipping, try curling your legs up so that the board flips under you instead of between your legs. Then you can just put your legs down and land. That might be a little easier.

^^ You must kick out not down or you will NOT be able to do the trick.

i just started trying stationery kickflips and sometimes i can get the spin but my back foot land on the ground and usually before the board and my other foot on the board. And the board likes to turn 90 degrees on me too. I should probably try it moving but im not that good a the moving ollie yet.
