There are no shortcuts, really, skateboarding is all about time on the board and muscle memory. To stand on the board, keep your feet over the bolts and knees bent - balance your weight equally down into your feet. Start off on the grass as you get used to balancing, and practice the movements of taking your back foot off the board to push, and pivoting your front foot. Building up this muscle memory before you start

You gotta ride the board more. There's a lot of balance and board control you need to develop before you can do moving ollies. Here's a good video of some things to try [VIDEO] As far a places to skate, empty parking lots and basketball courts are good places to start. But obviously if someone wants to play basketball you'll have to find somewhere else to go.
