You probably don’t have to learn it, just keep practicing and then you’ll get better.

You don't have any tips or advice?

One trick is to think about how much pressure you have on the back wheel compared to the front wheel.  The front wheel is what supports you and gives you balance, so if you go too slow the front wheel will spin under you and you’ll fall.  But if you push too hard you will also start to fall, because you’ll overbalance.  You want to move the front wheel up and down slightly, so the skateboard rolls in the direction you want to go, and just press it slightly forward to keep it from spinning back under you.  Then your weight distribution should be balanced on the skateboard, it should feel smooth.  I suggest you practice with your skateboard or bicycle to get some experience in this.  But what’s the point of skateboarding?  It’s a sport, and there are many ways to participate.  I guess

Your answer is getting too long and off topic. Can you summarize your points in a list format?

One way is to use tricks, to help you balance.  The other way is to get better at holding your body stable, so that your weight is supported over the skateboard, and you don’t start to tip over.

Okay. It's kind of vague so I'm not sure if it's useful. Thanks though.
