1. A skateboard truck comprising a hanger system, a caster, and a gearing system,where the hanger system comprises a top hanger, a bottom hanger, a king pin, and two wheels, where the top hanger and bottom hanger rotate about the king pin, where the top hanger and bottom hanger each comprise a toothed portion, where one wheel is secured to the top hanger, where one wheel is secured to the bottom hanger,where the gearing system comprises a top ring gear, a bottom ring gear, a sun gear, a plurality of planet gears, and a plurality of moon gears, where the top ring gear mates with one of the plurality of planet gears, where the bottom ring gear mates with one of the plurality of planet gears, where the planet gears mate with one of the plurality of moon gears, and where the sun ring mates with one of the plurality of moon gears,where the caster comprises a caster wheel and a caster bracket,where the caster bracket is secured to the sun gear, where the toothed portion of the top hanger mates with the top ring gear, where the toothed portion of the bottom hanger mates with the bottom ring gear, andwhereby angular displacement of the top hanger about the king pin causes a displacement of the caster and angular displacement of the bottom hanger about the king pin causes a displacement of the caster. 2. The skateboard truck of claim 1, wherein the gearing system further comprises a plurality of ring stops, where the ring stops resist rotation of the top ring gear and bottom ring gear beyond a specified angle, where the ring stops are integrated into the baseplate, top ring gear, bottom ring gear, or any combination thereof. 3. The skateboard truck of claim 1, wherein the hanger system further comprises a spring, where the spring is located between the top hanger and bottom hanger, where the spring applies a force to the top hanger and bottom hanger. 4. The skateboard truck of claim 1, wherein the caster bracket of the caster is secured to the sun gear by means of a rivet. 5. A skateboard truck comprising a hanger system, a caster, and a gearing system,where the hanger system comprises a top hanger, a bottom hanger, and a king pin, where the top hanger and bottom hanger rotate about the king pin,where the gearing system comprises a plurality of gears,where the caster comprises a caster wheel and a caster bracket,where the hanger system is in mechanical connection with the caster through the gearing system,whereby angular displacement of the top hanger about the king pin causes a displacement of the caster and angular displacement of the bottom hanger about the king pin causes a displacement of the caster. 6. The skateboard truck of claim 5, wherein the hanger system further comprises two wheels, where one wheel is secured to the top hanger, and where one wheel is secured to the bottom hanger. 7. The skateboard truck of claim 5, wherein the plurality of gears comprises a top ring gear, a bottom ring gear, a sun gear. 8. The skateboard truck of claim 7, wherein the plurality of gears further comprises a plurality of planet gears and a plurality of moon gears. 9. The skateboard truck of claim 8, wherein the top ring gear mates with one of the plurality of planet gears, where the bottom ring gear mates with one of the plurality of planet gears, where the planet gears mate with one of the plurality of moon gears, and where the sun ring mates with one of the plurality of moon gears. 10. The skateboard truck of claim 5, where the top hanger and bottom hanger each comprise a toothed portion. 11. The skateboard truck of claim 10, wherein the caster bracket is secured to the sun gear, where the toothed portion of the top hanger mates with the top ring gear, where the toothed portion of the bottom hanger mates with the bottom ring gear. 12. The skateboard truck of claim 11, wherein the gearing system further comprises a plurality of ring stops, where the ring stops resist rotation of the top ring gear and bottom ring gear beyond a specified angle, where the ring stops are integrated into the baseplate, top ring gear, bottom ring gear, or any combination thereof. 13. The skateboard truck of claim 10, wherein the caster bracket of the caster is secured to the sun gear by a rivet. 14. The skateboard truck of claim 5, wherein the hanger system further comprises a spring, where the spring is located between the top hanger and bottom hanger, where the spring applies a force to the top hanger and bottom hanger. 15. A skateboard comprising two skateboard trucks, where each skateboard truck comprises a hanger system, a caster, and a gearing system, where the skateboard has a centerline that runs down its length,where the hanger system comprises a top hanger, a bottom hanger, a king pin, and two wheels, where the top hanger and bottom hanger rotate about the king pin, where one wheel is secured to the top hanger, where one wheel is secured to the bottom hanger,where the gearing system comprises a plurality of gears,where the caster comprises a caster wheel and a caster bracket,where the caster bracket, top hanger, and bottom hanger are each secured to one of the plurality of gears of the gearing system, andwhereby angular displacement of the top hanger about the king pin causes a displacement of the caster and angular displacement of the bottom hanger about the king pin causes a displacement of the caster from the centerline of skateboard. 16. The skateboard of claim 15, wherein the gearing system of each skateboard truck comprises a top ring gear, a bottom ring gear, a sun gear, a plurality of planet gears, and a plurality of moon gears where the top ring gear mates with one of the plurality of planet gears, where the bottom ring gear mates with one of the plurality of planet gears, where the planet gears mate with one of the plurality of moon gears, and where the sun ring mates with one of the plurality of moon gears. 17.
