very good interview with Jonny Moseley via Powder Mag:

http://www.powdermag.com/stories/reflections-with-jonny-moseley/

back in '98, the day after Moselely won Gold, I can remember Liam Downey and Josh Novotny doing 360 mutes in the terrain park at Bromley, VT. (ok, maybe it was a week later.)

anyway, Moseley's 360 mute and Gold medal win was historic. it propelled freeskiing from obscurity. honestly, you could only find it in a few places back then: Squaw Valley, Crested Butte, Whistler, Quebec, the World Cup mogul circuit.

if anybody gets a chance to watch Scott Gaffney's Breathe, which came out in '97, you'll see a segment devoted to Moseley. Moseley's doing backflips, 1080s mutes, and flares in the halfpipe. Mind-blowing shit back then.

 
much respect to mosley, i was a freshman in high school when that happened and was convinced i wanted to buy a snowboard. that 360 mute changed everything. its too bad he is now the voice for the WME movies.
