learn how to skateboard

I picked up my skateboard today for the second time, and I was actually balancing. This took me so long to finally conquer this but once I did, the feeling was exhilarating. I cant go very far while I ride, but I did feel really good, and happy.
I’m going to try again tomorrow, for sure. I want to learn to ride for longer distances.

I just started skateboarding and I’m really bad. I mean I can even be on it a second without falling off of it. It’s so hard for me to stay on. Any suggestions?
Also, I’ve seen how skateboarders move whenever they are riding- it’s so fluid like they are one with the board. Dose that come with years of practice?
