It's funny because you type exactly alike as the 'original' cough cough, tjflames. With the 'i' and perfect oh so beautiful grammer.

2 weeks.

I've been skating for about nine months. For the first 4-5 months, I worked on nothing but my ollies(I tried doing kickflips too but my board landed straight up a few times and my nuts came right down onto the board so I stopped doing them.) I then started trying heelflips for 1-2 months but then stopped them and moved on to kickflips. I got them within a month.

I'd been skating two years, but really only practicing kickflips for a month or two. I'm still pretty bad at them

It took me about 2 weeks or so, but weirdly, the heelflips were easier to me since I wanted to be different from other people at the time that I knew and so I practiced heel's first then kickflips

Flips took me a month.

Heelflips I learned in a day, much easier when you got the flow of Flips down pat.
