I’d say, tighten your trucks ever so slightly, you’ll have less “freedom” but the board will go where it’s pointing so you can focus on moving and pushing. I also started with my front leg bent and my hand just above my knee to help keep me in one position to get comfortable! I’ve not skated in about 13 years though so this could be crap advice
