How do you improve your style?
Does it just come with skating, or can you learn it.

Comes with time and experience. But loosening your trucks, skating a lot of different terrains (street, parks, minis etc.), and skating faaaaaaaasssssssst help a lot when it comes to accelerate the process.

Like any skill it naturally improves over time, that and you might realise through experience that there's a better way to do a trick and adjust it so it looks cleaner.

No sweat, I skate sketchy as hell (miss the bolts a lot and tend to wave my arms around, sometimes it looks like I'm conducting an orchestra or something apparently) but it's still enjoyable. Not like anyone cares, since I skate alone.

Most people hate there style as well but, others may love it. Better style comes with time and practice. Commit more to tricks. Don't just throw the trick try it as harc as you can.

Not being stiff is a start, and the rest just comes.

Pumping on quarter pipes or miniramps or whatever also makes you more comfortable on your board and improves your style, makes you less stiff while riding your board

Cruise, cruise, cruise. Skate everywhere you can and focus more on just skating rather than going from one trick to another in the learning process. I know people who can do many tricks but can't even balance on one leg while pushing and look jerky like they first started learning to skate. Get comfortable on a skateboard as just a skateboard before you go off learning a bunch of tricks. Compare to BMX. If you weren't already comfortable on a bike and had to learn to ride a bike first.. you wouldn't be trying to learn turndowns 3 days after you started riding a bike. lol Just take your time and make your board like an extension of yourself first. So many people seem to rush everything and learn tricks one after another and they all end up looking ugly; they start to push around and you wouldn't have even guessed they'd been riding more than a few days.

just skate everyday for a long time

my style has improved so much looking back on my videos on my computer from two years ago

so it just comes with skating......... and try to land bolts, and absolutely do not tic tac, bend your knees when you land and try skating with your hands in your pockets sometimes so you get used to not fling your arms everywhere when you skate, and when you land a trick dont act surprised or happy just do the "meh whatever" look, that always looks cool
