one thing I found that helped me while learning is to not put my back foot on the tail unless i'm going to do a trick then I just shimmy my foot over. I found that by putting my back foot on the back two bolts I could still tilt the board enough to do a sharp turn and not have to worry about losing my balance as much. Maybe someone can correct me, I gave up on skateboarding and bought a bicycle to get more fit/build leg strength and stamina. But maybe i'll give it another shot again sometime.
