Oh~ I had that problem just a while ago, you probably need to readjust the tightness of the trucks. I just started skateboarding recently, I pretty much got the hang of it I skateboard to school sometimes... It's a lot faster and skateboarding is fun and pretty easy once you get the hang of it. It's funny how I started though, I played this video game called KingdomHearts2 and the main character sometimes got to use a skateboard, and since I'm such a dedicated fan (half-joking) I went out and bought a (crappy) skateboard. Took me about... two weeks to get it, and I only fell once haha yay! I still cant do any tricks though...

well...how are you trying to turn?

you turn by leaning forward and backwards, tilting the deck slightly, in a way
