Abstract
A skateboard truck (), including a hanger () carrying an axle (), and a baseplate (). The axle holds a pair of wheels, which are steered in unison by the axle. The baseplate is coupled to the hanger to permit hanger rotation about a dynamic hanger rotation axis (″). A static mechanism () enforces a static pivot point at a locus (') through which the dynamic hanger rotation axis passes during turning operation. Also, a dynamic mechanism () causes the dynamic hanger rotation axis to pass through a plurality of dynamic hanger pivot points during that turning operation. Roll of the baseplate about a skateboard roll axis () is operable to cause a steering rotation of the axle, and also changes the action angle () of the truck.
