Abstract
A shock absorbing mechanism for a suspension skateboard truck and skateboard is disclosed. A suspension skateboard truck includes a hangar. The hangar has opposing axle sleeves that extend to opposite distal ends along a lateral axis defined by an axle channel formed by each axle sleeve. The distal end of each axle sleeve includes a cavity that has a width greater than a width of the axle channel. The apparatus further includes an axle extending out from the axle channel and cavity of the distal end of each axle sleeve, and a shock absorbing mechanism occupying each cavity at least partially around the axle.
