When I was a kid I couldn't understand for the life of me how skateboards turned. I never owned one and I thought the trucks were immobile, solid pieces of metal bolted to the deck. My best guess was that when you leaned into a corner, it placed more weight on the wheels on one side and made that side slow down causing you to turn, kinda like how a tank turns. I didn't have a full understanding of how skateboards turned until I was at least 9 years old!
