When i was in my skaterdays, i practiced a lot in my back yard,
The grass was high enough so that i couldn't fall over, and my board wouldn't roll away,
But the grass was also low enough to do ollies and kickflips.
Most of my friends were skaters, so i also learned by watching them..
So yeah, you should practice your moves on kinda-high grass, and convince all your friends into buying boards to

Watch a lot of skatemovies, get friends that enjoy skateboarding (so you'll be able to learn from each other), and:
PRACTICE (AN AWFUL) LOT.
And don't forget to keep doing it, I had my winter break and now I really suck at skateboarding again ._.

Just buy a new board. You can get a good one for 100-105$, you will get a much better feeling. And btw buy ModGrip, it's cheap and good.
Here is my board:
Deck: Baker reynolds III
Grip: SkateWarehouse thingy
Trucks: Independent reynolds
Bearings: Bones reeds
Wheels: Plain toy maching thingy lol
I pull tre flips sometimes. Just practice alot at the grass and get the movements.

Well ollies you need to practice them a lot. Ive been skateboarding for only like 4 years but I can ollie about 7 and a half decks.
Try to get a board that fits you perfect, not to small, not to long or wide. You want it to be perfect so when sliding your foot you don't need to slide it so far it just doesn't do much.
You cant really give someone advice on how to "slide" there foot because I can ollie without sliding my foot about 5 decks, my 7 and a half deck ollie tends to be a boned ollie.
Anyways just practice and practice them like everyday untill you can slide your foot right, then even them out. Harder you push on the tail and the higher you jump up the higher your ollie will be.

When you're gonna try to do slides,
find a little wall-ish thing of about 10 cm, skate to it, and.. how to explain? slide on it without sliding..
Like, just go on it as if you're gonna slide but don't move, and get back off, as if you finished sliding.
Rubbing candles over your skateboard helps.
