right jus coz u landed it once dont mean u got kickflips u still jus need to keep practasing u're ass off and work out what u do diffrent wwen u do land it after u can land like 1 in 5 start to fiddle round with foot palce ment and the strengh of your kick some advise that helped me was to jus treat your upper body asthough u were doing an ollie. phew hope that helps

yeah im glad someone actually had a reasonable problem. Yeah so just keep practicin and ive noticed that lots of people dont try to spot the grip. You gotta find out how long it normally takes for your board to be rightside up and then its gonna be more consistant cause you wont have to wait for your grip to come around to land on it. Also for your body turning its cause u dont think you can land it. Just know you can and you will.

The thing I hate is I had kickflips pretty much down and smooth then I don't skate one day and it's all gone. Still haven't gotten them back yet.

My advice is well to keep practicing. You just learned them so they won't be consistent right away.
