i gotta agree w/ TJ on this one, you don't have to go fast as hell, but going too slow is not the easiest way to learn tricks, i think a medium pace is a good place for beginners. i believe a minimum of 2 hours of focused practice a day, video-ing one self and having as much fun as this tedious activity allows is your key to success in today's modern, fast paced flatland world. my mom thinks my 'hobby' would be maddening to do
Actually I would say this is an awful tip that nobody should follow. Tell me which is easier: Rolling very slowly on your bike with both feet on the pedals, or rolling at a normal medium speed with both feet on the pedals. There ya go.

2 hours a day? I have school and tons of homework. I don't feel like doing the same boring stuff over and over 2 hours a day. Maybe in the weekends, but when i have school 1 hour is about enough I guess.

Dude, you aren't going to progress with just one hour invested. It usually takes me at least an hour just to warm up and get comfortable.
