Being able to roll down a street takes a day or two. Ollieing up and down curbs and doing your first few flatground tricks takes maybe a few months. Being able to bomb a modest hill, kickflip some stairs, do the basics on a miniramp and do a couple of ledge tricks takes at least three years of very regular skating.

Your board wheels start shaping after the way you take a turn, after a while, they get cone-shaped. It's pretty common they wear down unevenly as you probably favor one side more than the other. You can swap your wheels around about every 2 or 3 months, depending on how often you ride your skateboard.

To be REALLY good, I believe it's somewhat in a ballpark of hundreds, if not thousands of hours. Following Paretto Principle, I'd say I've applied 20% of effort to be really decent, and to get great I probably would need five times as much, so I'd say ~ 500–1000 hrs and you are a competitive player.

It usually takes about 3-4 hours, yes, depending on how strong you are. But being strong isn't the most important part; balance is. If you have shit balance, it'll take maybe a week, but if you have good balance, maybe an hour or 2.

Re: How long did it take you to catch on to logic games? took me a couple months to go from -2 per game to -0/-1 in the whole section. Takes a lot of practice. Generally speaking though, if you're SUPER focused, it shouldn't take more than 10 days to master them.

It takes 5,000-10,000 hours of practice to become very good at any skill; the same in drawing. To speed up the learning time, you need to have a professional art teacher or attend a very good art course. Learning on your own won't bring the same results, nor would it be fast.

On an average if you want to be a good swimmer it will take around 5 to 6 months or so. But yes if your goal is to compete with others then you must give yourself at least 2 years to relish and be the best. You could take as long as you want. If you like swimming and are around 9–14, you can become 'good' in a year.
