After leaving Girl, McKay joined a company that was formed under DNA Distribution called "Seek"—founded by Rob Dyrdek and Josh Kalis, McKay rode alongside other skateboarders, such as Florentine Marfaing, Alex Carolino, Mike Taylor, and Greg Myers, during his time with Seek.

Second-phase team member, Paul Rodriguez, has referred to this period as a time when Way and McKay were talking about "bringing back the dream; awakening the giant."

"[6] In 2005, with the financial backing of Syndrome Distribution, Way and McKay reformed Plan B Skateboards, maintaining their roles as company co-owners, as well as professional skaters.

[9][10] In 2021, McKay launched a new skateboard design that paid homage to his Vancouver roots, taken from the "Flying-V" Canucks jerseys of the late-70's.

[12] Together with Moses Itkonen and Robert "Sluggo" Boyce, McKay formed the Red Dragons skateboard crew.
