Skateboarding is all about managing your body weight, without over doing it. You turn by shifting your body weight in the direction you want to turn.

Skateboarding is about keeping your balance.You can tighten your trucks a little bit so that your skateboard does not turn when you don't want it to.You can turn a skateboard by leaning towards that direction.After a while try lifting the front wheels briefly as you lean to get a sharper turn. Do this by applying a bit more weight to the back tail until the front wheels are off the ground, then aim the nose a bit more towards whichever direction you are facing and put the front wheels back down again.Also this link may prove very useful to you http://skateboard.about.com/od/tricktips/ss/JustStartingOut.htm
