    Okay, this has dawned on me a few times in the past, whats the
    difference between Old School and New School styles of riding?

    The really extreme part of unicycling had only started to develope in
    1998, 2000, or later from my stance, like, the crankflip was landed in
    2003 i think?

    really, how old does it have to be to be old school? the crankflip is
    only 5 years old, and heavier styles of trials and things are only
    around eight years old.

    What defines Old School? Just going big? Doing plants? Heavier
    unicycles?

    What defines New School? Anything after 2005? more set in generic
    tricks? Doing 5 stairs instead of 10 stairs? Clothing? Unicycles?

    really, I dont understand how people can call things old school, when
    they're only five to eight years old. I mean, i get the fact that it
    was in the first development of what we now call basic tricks, but, how
    do we consider it old?

    Hope you understand my point of view on this, please discuss!

    I think plants are old school, single crankflips are new school (sort
    of)... I consider when people did hickflips, 180 flips, doubleflips,
    ect new school
    Doing grinds, tiregrabs, hop twists, ect was around during old school
    but are not only old school because they are now done in new street.
    Unispins I consider more new than old but they were done in old
    school...

    compare it to BMX. a backslide down a handrail i would deffinatly call
    old school, even though it's never been landed yet (i think?). its the
    difference in style, rather than when it was first done.

    i consider big street to be entirely old school, but a new school twist
    would be fifthflipping down a 10 set, an old school twist would be a
    christ air... its just the type of trick within a more general style of
    riding. some things don't really fall into either.
    new=fast
    old=big, slow, and understandable to an average bystander with no
    explanation what so ever.
