Linked when newcomers ask about feeling behind others or not landing tricks. Gives advice on comparing yourself less and practicing the right way.
“The biggest take-away for me from the video is not to compare yourself to others. Skateboarding is a personal sport, so if you enjoy it, then just enjoy it and don't worry about other people.”

What skaters said on Reddit
Check out this video [VIDEO] - remember when you are attempting those tricks and not landing them, it's not really the muscle memory you want stored. You want to memorize the successful attempts, you might try something 100's of times & land it a couple times and feel like it's enough, but you only did the right movement a few times.
I watched this video [VIDEO] today and I feel like it answers your question exactly. The biggest take-away for me from the video is not to compare yourself to others. Skateboarding is a personal sport, so if you enjoy it, then just enjoy it and don't worry about other people.
