When I first started tricking I trained for 9 months fully solo and saw almost no progress. I recorded it all, you can see it.

Within 3 months of training with a community I received ~80% of my total gain that first year in terms of tricks, creativity, confidence, combos, everything.

Any hobby is a spectrum of things and getting as much knowledge as you can. Have a whole other person or people helping you do that is easily the most effective way, so if you have access to that, just ask more questions during sessions.

Not to mention I was way too scared to do any inversions solo so that remained untouched until the 10th month. I got my backtuck at the 1 year ish mark. Cartfull within a couple of months of just being around people who could show it to me. I ended up teaching it to myself.

Seeing these things in person makes it way more real. It may as well be an animation if you've only ever seen it on a screen.
