GASHADOKURO FREESTYLE TRUCKS – THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND
Freestyle skateboarding has long been the overlooked warrior in the world of street and vert — technical, precise, and unapologetically creative. Until now, riders have had to adapt standard street trucks to fit the unique demands of pogo tricks, rail flips, and casper landings. That changes with the release of the Gashadokuro 109 Freestyle Trucks — the first trucks built from the ground up specifically for modern freestyle.
Named after the mythological Japanese skeleton giant, Gashadokuro trucks are engineered with the same spirit — relentless, unyielding, and designed to tower over the competition. These aren’t just tweaked street trucks. They’re a complete rethinking of what freestyle trucks should be. Raised GASHADOKURO logo – aesthetic + functional, doesn’t weaken the baseplate
The 109mm hanger width provides the compact control needed for tight flips and stable pogos, while the total axle width sits at 174mm (6.8”), making them perfect for traditional freestyle decks. Standing at 56mm high, the trucks strike an ideal balance between stability and leverage, whether you’re locking in a rail stand or throwing a no-handed pogo.
One of the most immediately noticeable features is the flat top hanger, designed to take the pain and guesswork out of pogos. This smooth surface gives your fingers or shoes a stable platform without digging into your skin. The entire truck is finished in a complete matte texture — a deliberate choice that enhances grip during fingerflips and technical slides.
The baseplate is where things get serious. Instead of showy design elements, Gashadokuro goes full utilitarian: thick, solid, and smooth. A hex-cut center allows for inverted kingpin installation, which not only increases clearance during tricks but makes on-the-fly adjustments a breeze. With old and new school hole patterns, you can bolt these onto any freestyle deck you own — no drilling required.
Every detail has purpose. The bushings are 98a hard, providing minimal rebound for stability during pogo-based tricks. The grade 8 kingpins are inverted and sit 20mm lower than standard, minimizing hang-ups during rail work. Even the hanger has a cutaway notch for easy tool access, meaning you can fine-tune your setup without removing the entire truck.
These trucks aren’t just strong — they look the part too. The raised Gashadokuro branding is carefully positioned not to compromise structure, and the sidewalls of the baseplate include textured zones for extra flick control.
So if you’ve been piecing together freestyle setups from street truck leftovers, now’s your time.
