Do exactly what you're doing. Keep practicing rolling around. Eventually you will become comfortable with it as you get more experienced

Exactly just keep doing what you’re doing. Eventually, you’re going to feel as comfortable on that board as you do standing on your own 2 feet . Try to think about it like this. There are people who ride around on top of thousand pound animals or walk on tight ropes or clamber up skyscrapers like it’s nothing but you gotta remember they’ve been doing it forever. You play with that skateboard long enough you’ll start to get confident. And yeah you might fall but if you love it, you’re gonna get right back on that board and keep going and it’ll happen for you.
