First off, I would recommend looking up a tutorial on how to skate your very first time. I recommend this video as it helped me the first time I wanted to ride. [VIDEO] You seem to be very off balance when pushing with your front foot, and your placement of the back foot on the board is not going to give you stability. Try to have both feet over the bolts when you are rolling. This can be a little tricky to figure out your first time, so id recommend trying to balance with the board on grass first. Hopefully, it shouldn't take long after attempting a few times. If you have somewhere nearby that has smooth concrete instead of asphalt I would also recommend going there to learn. It's much harder to learn on asphalt as your momentum is going to get eaten much faster than concrete, especially when you are new and not comfortable going fast. I'm also a beginner and have only been skating for a few months. Hope this helps :)
