Practice, practice, practice. You'll learn in time like you said, and things will come easier to you. Most people just end up teaching themselves certain things. I'm teaching myself to skate.
For the first couple hundred times, you will definitely fall off because you're not going to have immeadiate balance. You're gonna fall back, and you're gonna fall forward. Try and find the spot where you balance best on the skateboard, and ride like that.
If you're only pushing your left leg once, push it some more & then hop on. But if you only move for 20 seconds, then yeah, loosen your wheels because they might be too tight & just keep you in the same place.
