A skateboard includes a deck, one or more wheels, and a truck coupled to the deck and to the one or more wheels. The truck has a base plate for coupling to the deck, an axle for coupling to the one or more wheels, and a shaft secured to the base plate at one end, and to the axle at the other end. The shaft is capable of rotational movement with respect to the base plate about a first axis. The axle is capable of rotational movement with respect to the shaft about a second axis. First and second linkages extend from the base plate to the axle. The shaft and the first and second linkages work together to convert a leaning motion of the deck into a turning motion of the axle to control steering of the skateboard during use.
