what he has done for freeskiing?!?!?!? if it wasn't for his heli mute in the olympics, a hell of a lot of the people in this sport now would still be rockin race skis. he brought a small bit of skiing into everyone's TV set. after that, people began to realize skiing wasnt lame and that you could do cool shit. remember, the average person in skiing has never heard of JP Auclair. so seeing moseley's "new" trick was their first glimpse at skiing's revolution. he made the sport somewhat mainstream.
