Youtube is your friend. Also skate mags, but they probably have more complex tricks. Ollie is one of the most basic things, and shouldnt take anywhere near a year to get.... I was never very good (mostly due to lack of interest in spending all the time practicing) but I taught my self a kickflip in about two weeks or so... All it really takes is knowledge on how to do it, and lots of pratice... (also, your not going to be able to do a complex trick if you cant do the basic stuff)

Kickflip is like a step up from an ollie... I could also double flip it but never land it... never praticed it.
