I find heelflips a lot easier than kickflips. Maybe try some 3 shove-its? Or some nollie shuvs.

front side heels, inward heels, front heels, nollie late front foot flip, switch late big flip, bs nose blunt big spin out, front shove bs feeb revert. just to name a few, pretty entry level stuff, and always try the first attempt at a trick down a 13 set.

learn how to ACTUALLY skate. ride bowl, blast sidewalks. get ollies and 180s really big and really fast. learn how to skate transition.

^agreed, don't be one of those skaters who tightens their trucks till their kingpins snap, can do a double flip but can't figure out how to skate anything besides a simple ledge or flat ground. Get comfortable with speed, dvelop ur style

Fakie stuff like bigspins and 360 shuvs. Practice kickflips because they are key with half of the flip tricks you do. Heelflips are good to learn too. Get your ollies sold and be able to ollie over things like decks, barriers, gaps, stairs etc.
