Don't wanna fall? Here are tips.

1. Lean forward, not back. Your back leg is the one that steers the board, so if all your weight is on it, you're gonna end up losing your balance and falling.

2. A tip for learning to turn, is to clasp your hands together. When you want to turn, point your arms in the direction you want to go. This gets your shoulders and head aligned correctly, and your legs will follow.

And like Nightshade said, stay on your edges...but don't lean so far that you topple over

this is my 11th year riding...

i have a GNU 144. im 5'7, 120lbs. flow FL_11 bindings, forum team boots. and i ride goofy.

my best advice is to stay on the edges of the board as much as you can.. if you let it go flat, you double your chance of catching an edge, and you'll end up on your face or your back in no time. also, a lot depends on your rear foot. thats what does most of the work. keep that in mind, and have fun!
