Who do you guys think is the most under rated skier of alltime I would have to say Johnny Mosely I know he wasn't great but he did so much for the evolution of our sport
 
From Rory Bushfield's segment in Hit List this year, and absolutely NO word on the guy for a whole season, I'd say him.
 
it is mos def crichton. he is the man on rails and he should have won the x-games pipe two years ago. it just seems like every segment hes in is not that great
 
Watch Mosely in "the Realm", from back in 1999. He destroys big mountain lines and lays down some first descents in his first trip to Alaska. He proved in that segment that he could hang with Jeremy Nobis and Jeremy Jones, something no current park rat can say. He also dominated an olympic discipline and made it much better. The olympics will be much better this year because Moseley did his dinner roll in 02. The sport owes him for that. I remember reading an article in freeskier befrore the last olympics where JP or JF called him the best all-around skier in the world. If he had kept filming big lines and competing in the x-games instead of doing bumps again god knows where he would be. Watch "there's something about McConkey" where Shane mentions Moseley as someone who he regarded as being able to combine everything, much like Seth. The park scene has come along way since Jonny left it, but there is no one who can both ski big lines at very close to the level of Seth, Shane, and Nobis and win terrain park medals the way Jonny could. Moseley is overrated by the general public, but underrated here. I'll take someone who can spin 7's in the bumps and kill it in Alaska over someone doing a 450 onto a rail anyday.
 
rory bushfield is amazing, he did a 9 strait landed switch and then swtch 180 off like a lip in the backcountry, hes done stuff I seriously would not even dream up, also a sick style.
 
it's such a shame cause a lot of people probably don't even know who he is. And I can't believe that swtich pipe run at X last year didn't send him to the finals. Wasn't even on TV i don't think.
 
no, hes good and all dont get me wrong but seeing as how he gets the amount of respect he does already and the fact that he has a very small range of skiing ability, he is definetely not underrated.
