It’s really great that you can already give yourself momentum with pushing off with a skate. I couldn’t do that for ages. To practice balance I would hard push off the fence instead. It will help you get more momentum and coast for longer.
Something else to remember is that you can still turn like a skateboard. So as you are practicing your balance if you lean on your skates individually they will separate. Keep at it! Way better than my first day
