lean the way you wanna go. the best way to get it down is to LOOK ith your head turned where you wanna go, youll pretty much go that way without even thinking about it.
if you wanna turn really sharp, try leaning backwards a little while leaning the way you wanna turn. this will put you on mostly one wheel, which will allow you to turn sharper.
just get out there and skate and see what works for you!

It's fun to use bert slides for those sharp turns. It looks really cool too.

Anatomy of a Board:
Deck- The part of the board that you put your feet on, you attach the trucks to the bottom of the Deck
Trucks- Thease hold on to the wheels, they can get run down by grinding on them
Wheels- Thease make you move on the board
Nose- The front of the Deck
Tail- The back of the Deck
I hope that helped
