Santa Cruz McCoy Snakes VX 8.25" x 31.83" Skateboard Deck

Santa Cruz McCoy Snakes VX: Reinforced Technology with a Twin Tip Shape

Developed around Maurio McCoy, this pro model combines a versatile 8.25-inch platform with symmetrical geometry and Santa Cruz's performance-focused VX construction.

The resulting setup focuses on responsive handling and consistent board feel while retaining dimensions suited to technical skating.

VX Construction with Tri-X Reinforcement

VX technology uses a hybrid structure rather than relying solely on a traditional maple layup. The deck combines 5 plies of North American maple with 2 Tri-X reinforcement layers.

This architecture is engineered to produce a thinner and lighter platform while increasing strength. It also helps maintain pop and structural performance throughout demanding sessions.

The construction is particularly relevant for skaters looking for additional reinforcement without sacrificing the direct response expected from a technical board.

Versatile 8.25" x 31.83" Dimensions

A 8.25-inch width creates an effective balance between precision and usable foot space. It remains maneuverable while providing a confident platform for technical tricks.

The 31.83-inch length completes the proportions with a versatile overall footprint suited to street skating, parks and mixed terrain.

Symmetrical Twin Tip Geometry

A key feature of this pro model is its Twin Tip shape. Both the nose and tail measure 6.71", creating matching dimensions at either end of the board.

This symmetry is especially useful for riders who regularly skate in both directions, providing a more consistent feel when switching between regular, switch and fakie positions.

The technical shape reference is SC-365-VX.

Responsive 14.22" Wheelbase

A 14.22-inch wheelbase complements the 8.25" platform with compact, balanced geometry.

This axle spacing maintains responsive handling while providing enough stability for tricks and transitions across different skate environments.

Medium-Depth ATV Concave

The ATV concave uses a universal medium-depth profile with symmetrical nose and tail kicks.

Its geometry is designed to perform across varied terrain, providing secure foot positioning without the restrictive feel of an excessively deep concave.

Snakes Artwork with Gold Mirror Details

The graphic features intertwined snakes arranged across a deep black background. Gold detailing creates strong contrast while emphasizing the intricate composition from nose to tail.

Gold mirror foil and metallic graphic elements add depth and a distinctive premium finish to the design.

The top graphic continues the serpent theme while incorporating VX branding into the darker visual treatment.

Maurio McCoy Pro Model

The geometry was developed around Maurio McCoy. Its 8.25" Twin Tip format provides a noticeably different feel from conventional popsicle boards featuring separate nose and tail dimensions.

Combined with reinforced construction, the symmetrical platform is particularly relevant for technical skating where consistency, board control and responsive pop are priorities.
