The Spirit of Freestyle
When it comes to freestyle skateboarding, precision and balance are everything. That’s exactly what the Decomposed Gashadokuro Freestyle Trucks were designed to deliver. Named after the legendary Japanese “starving skeleton” spirit, these trucks embody toughness and control in a form built for skaters who live for rail tricks, pogo variations, and footwork artistry. Unlike repurposed street trucks, the Gashadokuro series is engineered from the ground up for freestyle riders who demand true geometry and performance consistency.
Engineered for Precision
The Gashadokuro trucks measure in with a 109 mm hanger width, making them ideal for narrow freestyle decks. The overall axle width sits at 174 mm, giving a compact stance that enhances precision and keeps weight down where it matters most. Standing at 56 mm tall, they strike the perfect midpoint between clearance for caspers and stability for technical combos. With their inverted Grade 8 kingpin and baseplate access through the bottom, adjustments are quick and straightforward even mid-session. The dual hole baseplate allows both new school and old school mounting patterns, ensuring compatibility with nearly any freestyle setup.
Function Meets Design
A flat top hanger design is built for balance tricks, helping riders lock in for pogos, rail stands, and finger-flips without unwanted rolling or slippage. The bushings come stock in a hard 98A durometer, delivering a minimal-rebound, ultra-stable feel that keeps your board steady during technical sequences. The matte silver finish not only gives these trucks a professional, understated aesthetic but also offers a nod to the clean, functional design ethos behind Decomposed’s freestyle legacy.
Built to Take a Beating
Every element of the Gashadokuro trucks has been thought out to meet the demands of modern freestyle skating. The reinforced hanger arms and precisely machined geometry mean they can take a beating without bending, something that can’t be said for most street-derived alternatives. The compact design translates into lighter swing weight, so your board feels like an extension of your body rather than a cumbersome tool. Whether you’re walking the dog, switching between casper flips, or holding a pogo longer than gravity should allow, these trucks keep your setup steady, aligned, and true.
The Legend Behind the Name
The Gashadokuro name connects to the Japanese folklore of the enormous skeletons that roam the night, feeding on those who cross their path. It’s a fitting symbol for the resilience and intensity of freestyle skaters—riders who take the most basic tool in skateboarding and push it beyond imagination. Decomposed, a brand founded by and for freestylers, continues to lead the charge in producing equipment that honours that legacy.
A Return to Purpose-Built Craftsmanship
For shops and collectors, the Decomposed Gashadokuro Freestyle Trucks represent more than just another set of metal parts—they’re a return to purpose-built craftsmanship for a style of skating that refuses to die. If you’ve been searching for trucks that truly respect freestyle’s technical heritage while being ready for today’s progression, Gashadokuro is your match. Freestyle skateboarding has always lived on the edge of art and athleticism, and the Decomposed Gashadokuro Freestyle Trucks capture that spirit perfectly.
