I need skateboarding help!

Okay, so I just started skateboarding. I got me a cheap $40 world industries board. I feel like I've caught on pretty quick, I can ollie pretty well, but while moving I have trouble with it. I can also pop shove it sometimes, but I often land em bad and just fall off. But my biggest problem seems to be my feet.

I wear size 14 shoes, and it makes landing things almost ridiculous. Over half my foot hangs off when i try and ollie... it's annoying. I feel that my big feet makes everything alot harder to do. Trying to kickflip or heelflip with them is just ridiculous

Does anyone have any tips? I need some serious help x_x

usually you can't land a trick cause you're too scared to do it. if you can do a trick while stationary well, you shouldn't have much problem. and dont learn flips yet, get your ollies higher and farther and front/back shuvs perfect before moving on. also, get a bigger size board.

long boarding feels nice too just cruising at a nice speed

ditch the tricks/small boards and just cruise on a long board
