is that the shirt that just says 'ski' on the front? if so I wouldn't mind having that shirt. I'm not big on mosely, but he is bringing skiing to the masses (sorta), so I would get it

if you just like the shirt, make one yourself. it's not that hard and it's a lot cheaper.

yeah just make one your self. if you buy his clothing you are supporting his sell-outingness(not shur if thats a word). So just make one.

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed to hell for this, so here goes:

*zips up asbestos suit*

I don't understand the whole 'sellout' mentality on Moseley. He is a mogul and big-mountain skier. As far as I remember (and I could be wrong), his first 'freestyle' competition will be this winter's X-games. Do you see him making video segments trying to bust the hugest spins over 100-ft tables? No. He skis moguls. He doesn't try to go bigger than Jon or ski smoother than Skogan. He skis moguls and hits 2 jumps in them. He's trying to do new tricks off those 2 jumps, tricks inspired by a lot of his friends in the freestyle skiing arena. The fact that he is attempting to bring some progression to that sport (a sport that hasn't progressed in a good 15 years) gets him my respect.

He's making Joe Dumbass American realize that skiing as a sport has changed, that it's not all people in one-pieces and on neon skis. JDA has seen Ross Powers in the Olympics and heard his son (who went to ski club for the last few years) say 'Buy me a snowboard! They can do cool tricks!' Up until this point, JDA just rolls his eyes, says 'kids' and buys him a deck. Now, JDA says 'Wait a minute. I saw that Moseley guy doing tricks on skis. You've got a perfectly good pair of skis, now go do tricks on 'em.' This is the next generation of freeskiers. After we're all busted up and have no knees left and more concussions than Billy Bob, these kids are going to be the ones carrying the sport.

Yes, Moseley is making a little extra money off of name recognition. But how many of us can say we'd turn down money for some theoretical 'reputation' that a bunch of people with a whole lot less skill than you have of you? For those who say 'I'd never accept the money, ski for the love of it!', you obviously haven't had to pay bills yet. Starting out, being a professional skier is not a lucrative career. Jesus, look at Seth Morrison. He's one of the most recognized names in skiing, has a pro model ski from a prestigious company, and up until a couple years ago he shared an apartment with 3-4 of his fellow athletes and ate Ramen because it was too expensive to live on his own and eat out.

Bottom line: Moseley's making a living the best he can, and I don't give him an ounce of shit for it.

 
i agree with EmcEEmahEm. i'm not sure why everyone is hatin on moseley. he helped turned the sport of skiing into what it is today. i also think its cool how he is getting the word out about skiing. i dont think that is selling out, he just trying to get that sport bigger than it already is, and i dont think that is so bad.

as for the ski shirts, i got one, and i like it. it was going to cost me $15 to make one, so i just thought i would buy a real one for $3 more. i like it, but i also dont hate on moseley like the rest of you guys.

 
First off you guys are entitled to your own opinion and i respect you for saying what you think. I and a few other people just simply disagree on something that dosn't effect any of us that much.

as long as you're going to wear it skiing or to school not just on some mtv show or riding a longboard in a sunglass ad...it doesn't matter who made it i think its cool

---------------

this young girl, she's a freak

 
Why not quit worrying about what everyone else thinks is cool and decide for yourself. If you think it is cool wear it, if not don't.

 
yeah what that emc dude said was exactly right, he isnt a sell out and only if you think he is what is your reasoning behind thinking he is a sellout, any retard can just say moseley is a sellout and all that crap, but give me a good reason and then maybe ill respect your opinion, even though it may be retarded

haha, nice icon jooky. it basically sums up my opinion of this thread. i see a sellout as someone who does one thing and then changes styles to please a sponsor or the public. do what you like. fuck everyone else.

right on EmcEEmahEm

moseley is as true to moguls as greatsky is to hockey.

saying moseley is a newschooler is like saying greatsky is a pro baseball player.

because of moseley, mogul comps are twice as dutty, and little kids are finally starting to see that skiing is just as good if not cooler than snowboarding. and when you reach his age you start realizing, im not gonna be skiing that much longer, so if mtv starts handing you cash to sit on your ass and host a show, i think your gonna do it to. all the power to moseley. and this winter, i will actually look forward to watching mogul comps

 
why does it matter what other peoples opinions are, do you like it?

Just get the shirt if you want it and someone should start a mosely sell out thread.

right on seward, what you said is exactly right and people who call him a sellout are morons that dont have any clue what they are talking about

matchstickid: there's already like a 3 page thread that i remember on the topic of jonny moseley being a 'sell-out', but i'm sure there's lots more.

for the record...someone said this x-games will be his first freestyle comp. he had i think 2 moseley invitational's and he was in the x-games before

 
i would buy it so i could light it on fire, or write fuck johnny mossely

now when somebody asks me if i ever decapitated a fetus, i know what to say- My lab partner after a dissection gone wrong.
