I'm relatively new to skating myself, and I remember that the biggest tips my friend gave was to always remember to lift your backleg. I'm horrible at explaining, but this guy [VIDEO] is awesome at explaining. Hope this helps

You need to actually slide your foot in order for the board to level out, in the second video it looks like you just popped the board & it hit your front foot at an angle, and then you stomped it down. Try sliding your foot up the griptape like in the Braille Skateboarding 'steps', it'll make your footslide a bit more consistent if you train your foot to bend that way. You want it to actually slide against the grip.
