I learned to skateboard a few months ago so I totally know where you're coming from.
It's definately best to practice on a flat street when you're first starting but sometimes this isn't always an option (it wasn't for me).
But, its important to remember that the faster you go, the more cracks and bumps you will pass over. Say there is a rock in the middle of the street. If you're going really slow, you wheels will stop over it and launch you off the board.
If you're going faster, your skateboard will usually go right over it.
Skateboarding is a very dangerous sport, but fun, and I recommend that you purchase wrist guards. Knee pads are good too, but you're a lot more likely to break your wrist when you're beginning.
If you're not comfortable with going to fast yet, try practicing 180s and then 360s. You will be more comfortable with your board.
But to be a really good skateboarder, the best tip is : don't be afraid to fall.
Because you will fall...a lot. ]
