You'll never learn how to kickflip, every skateboarder I've seen that hasn't been professional hasn't landed stuff.
Just cause everyone you know sucks, doesn't mean everyone sucks.
Anyways, I used to skate all the time. I could kickflip, heelflip, shove-it, bigspin, 180 and 360. Plus some fakie and nollie stuff.
I'm watching the skating event on ESPN right now as a matter of fact.
