New School

Also known as: newschool

Modern skating from the 90s on: symmetrical popsicle, technical street and flips everywhere.

Extended definition

"New school" is what was born when technical street took over in the early 90s: narrow symmetrical popsicle boards, small hard wheels, and a total focus on flips, grinds and urban lines. It's the current standard and the direct counterpoint to old school. Most boards you see today are, by default, new school.
