Who is Sandro Sobral? A Living Legend of Brazilian Street Skateboarding
To talk about Sandro Sobral is to talk about the living history of street skateboarding in Brazil. With a career defined by consistency on ledges, handrails, and concrete muretes, Sobral built his reputation on technical tricks, flawless style, and an unconditional love for skateboarding.
Over more than two decades as a pro, Sandro has influenced generations of skaters with his clean style and uncanny ability to adapt skateboarding to the most challenging urban architecture. The partnership with Trurium translates that lifelong experience into a pro model hardware signed by someone who truly understands the demands of the street.
Engineering and Innovation: What Sets the Sandro Sobral Pro Model Apart
Engineered for skaters who demand maximum responsiveness and strength, this pro model brings technical innovations that place Trurium at the forefront of global skateboard hardware.
1. 6082 Forged Aluminum with CNC Machining
Unlike traditional cast trucks, the Sandro Sobral model uses heat-treated 6082 Forged Aluminum. The forging process aligns the metal's molecular structure, making the hanger and baseplate:
More resistant to cracks and breakage under heavy impact;
Lighter, allowing for higher pops with less effort;
Smoother on slides, ensuring a continuous grind on metal copings and marble ledges.
2. Dual Axis Technology (Dual Axle System)
Trurium Dual Axis technology replaces the traditional straight-through axle with two independent axles fixed with high precision. This innovation delivers three key benefits:
Significant weight reduction in the central area of the truck;
Elimination of axle slip or play over long-term use;
Higher turning precision by distributing pressure evenly.
3. Visual Tribute: The São Paulo Sidewalk
The truck features a detailed laser etching of the legendary São Paulo pavement pattern (designed by Mirthes dos Santos Pinto in 1966). The artwork decorates the hanger, celebrating Sandro Sobral's deep-rooted connection to the street spots of the city.
4. Premium 95A Bushings
Equipped with high-rebound 95A hardness bushings, offering the ideal balance between landing stability and quick turn response.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the advantage of a forged truck over a cast truck?
Forged aluminum trucks undergo a mechanical compression process that eliminates air pockets and aligns the metal fibers. This makes the product up to 30% stronger and lighter than traditional gravity-cast models.
Does Trurium’s Dual Axis system slip the axle?
No. The Dual Axis system is designed to permanently lock the axles into the forged aluminum structure, eliminating the common issue of axles loosening or slipping sideways under heavy wear.
Which truck size is best for my deck width?
The Sandro Sobral Pro Model line offers a wide range of sizes to fit your exact setup:
129mm: For narrow decks from 7.5" to 7.75"
