do you just have to practice constantly to get good or what?

ride every day any free moment, just like wakeskating, BTW kickflips are a breakthrough trick, they are hard at first, but once you learn those you'll progress really fast until frontsideflips, another break through, but yeah, a good smooth sylish ollie is the first step, try to learn all your tricks switch nollie and fakie at the same time it helps you later alot, for example don't move past the ollie till you can do all 4 of them, it helped me a friggin grip

Practice, practice, practice. Do the same tricks over and over until you land them. And then do them until you are comfortable and consistent. And then keep doing it. Weird fact, I could 180 a 6 stair before I could kickflip on flatground. I seriously hated flat ground skating in my earlier years of skating, it still isn't really my cup of tea though I've slowly come to enjoy it.

try to skate all thtime and have patience because getting mad because you cant do a trick is stupid.
