From \"reissues\", i.e. new editions of deck classics from the 80s and 90s, to shaped decks such as Erick Winkowski's Pro Model, to popsicle shapes. In addition to traditional 7 ply decks, Santa Cruz also offers \u003cstrong\u003eEverslick\u003c\/strong\u003e and VX decks. Everslick was developed with Santa Cruz in the early 90's. Everslick is a thin layer of plastic attached to the underside of the deck that allows for easier sliding. \u003cstrong\u003eVX decks\u003c\/strong\u003e are thinner, lighter decks pressed with only 5 plies of maple wood and 2 plies of Quad X. Quad X's are thin carbon\/fiberglass plies with one placed on top and one between the 4th and 5th plies of maple. The result is a deck that promises greater resistance to breakage and more pop. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/9626\/8167\/files\/justinsommersantacruzskateboardsbanner_600x600.webp?v=1684496042\" alt=\"Justin Sommer Doing A Fakie Ollie One Foot Skateboard Trick\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e With us you will always find a good selection of Santa Cruz \u003ca title=\"Buy Santa Cruz skateboard decks\" href=\"https:\/\/freedomskateshopo.shop\/collections\/skateboard-decks?uff_h5ii3i_vendor=Santa%20Cruz\"\u003edecks\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca title=\"Buy Santa Cruz Beginner Complete Skateboards\" href=\"https:\/\/freedomskateshopo.shop\/collections\/complete-skateboards?uff_h5ii3i_vendor=Santa%20Cruz\"\u003ecompletes\u003c\/a\u003e , as well as \u003ca title=\"Buy skateboard accessories\" href=\"https:\/\/freedomskateshopo.shop\/collections\/skateboard-accessories?uff_h5ii3i_vendor=Santa%20Cruz\"\u003eskate accessories\u003c\/a\u003e such as rails, wax, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/9626\/8167\/collections\/santa-cruz-817470.webp?v=1710398434","url":"https:\/\/freedomskateshopo.shop\/en\/collections\/santa-cruz.oembed","provider":"Freedom Skateshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
