it depends on what your stance is (goofy or regular). if you are goofy, then you face the left of the board when standing on it. if you are regular, then you face the right. if you are goofy, you're right foot needs all the pressure, because if you put pressure on the left foot, the board will pop up. it's the same if you are regular, just put pressure on the left foot. try riding like that. if the board seems to turn to much, tighten your trucks. if it always turns one direction, either loosen the trucks, or try and keep turning the board the opposite direction. that will loosen the board up, and it will turn a lot easier. after doing that, your balance on the board will be a lot better.

LOL how can you not balance on a skateboard? when you stand on your deck (skateboard), stand on your side, 1 foot in the middle/front, the other foot far back, once you've learnt how to balance kick off with your back foot, stop with the same foot. its pretty easy. if you live in the UK, go to Thorpe Park, theres a skateboarding workshop being held, from the 12th to 25th of august. there should be clubs where ever you live. good luck.

you have to frigging fall & fall & fall & fall & fall again, you cannot perfect your balance just from reading a frigging book, talk to anyone who can skateboard and they will either 1) laugh their heads off by trying to skate by reading a book , 2)pity you enough to give you some basics, and that's practice & practice & fall & fall you're too frigging impatient
