I've been watching a lot of skating videos which teach you the basics, my 4yr old has been given a skateboard by his uncle, so I built one to make sure he had someone to skate with if he gets into it - never having skated in my life, but all of the above is great advice, I'm much more about getting comfortable rolling on the board, strengthening my front leg, being stable on it, when bent, getting better form with my pushing leg and swinging from the hip when pushing, rather than pushing just with my lower leg and foot.
