OK so before you start riding you're board you need to figure out what stance you are wether you are goofy or regular. Someone who is goofy is someone who puts there right foot on the board and pushes with there left, someone who is regular is someone who puts there left foot on the board and pushes with there right. To figure out what stance you are. If you were to kick a ball what foot would you kick it with, if you were to kick it with your left foot your regular and if you were to kick it with your right foot your goofy. Me personally I skate regular.

Ok so now you know what stance you are so you can start riding your skateboard. To ride your skateboard put your front foot just below the front bolts and push of the ground with your back foot. NEVER push with your front foot on the back bolts because that's called mongo pushing and mongo pushing will make skateboarding harder for you in the future, but let's not talk about that any ways like I said your going to want to give it a push and put your back foot on the back bolts or on the tale. If you're having trouble turning the board try losing up the trucks (the trucks are the metal thing on the bottom of your board) if you do that it will be easy to turn but if you like your trucks tight you would have to tic tac around, tic tac is basically when you lift up the front wheels and turn using your back wheels.
