If you have ever played Johnny Mosley Mad Trix, you know of the famed dinner roll, What exactly is a dinner roll? and has anyone ever done one??
 
Its a Rodeo 7 - I saw Mosely do it in the first ever Xgames at Crested Butte - How crazy is it that CB ever hosted an X games?
 
It actually wasn't revolutionary at all. I remember watching him do it, and thinking "wow, half my friends can do that trick, and we simply call it a cork 7." Sure, it was "revolutionary" in the olympics, but most freestyle mogul skiers at the time had plenty of inverted tricks they could do. Tom Lincoln even invented the Lincoln loop in moguls, and was disqualified from the world tour because he always threw it.
 
the dinner roll is a d-spin but the skiing indusrty wouldnt allow such a gay name so they shortened it to d-spin
 
ya my cousin grew up skiing with jonny and saw him throw rodeo and lincoln type flips and spins, i'm just saying from the "dinner roll" perspective it was revolutionary because nobody had tried to pull the off axis yet not inverted spin in the olympics beforemy cousin always talks about how jonny had way better tricks for comps but he just wasn't allowed to throw them
 
pretty impressive considering his head couldnt go above his head...cant think of a much better trick that does that
 
actually it might have been revolutionary cause i remember seeing at the last olympic the canadian (claim) mogul skier throw down a cork 10 in the moguls so yeah it might have added a lil bit more origniality to the sport but i dont think that corks will make anyone win in the moguls anyways they much rather someone who goes fast and makes rediculously sketch moves in the air... whatever floats their boat i guess
 
"Moseley boasted of taking time off to live the life a self-promoting ski celebrity imagined."

jesus, even back then he was a douche bag.
 
it's a rodeo 7, Mosley himself says it. However, when he did it in moguls it was more of at Flatspin 7, and it was named a "Dinner Roll" because he didn't go inverted (hence the flat 7 instead of rodeo 7) cause they weren't allowed to. A D-spin is essentially a Back Full Twist (360 Backflip), so it's not a d-spin because he didn't go fully inverted.
 
"He mixes the water with a little flower, adds the yeast, preheats the oven, bakes it, the dough rises; and he delivers a fresh dinner roll! "
Thank you, that just mad me so happy.
 
I really can't stand him, basically because he started taking credit for the 360 Mute when he did it at the Olympics. 1. He wasn't the first, 2. He wasn't the only one in the 98 olympics to toss a 360 mute in their run. Then 4 years later he starts getting all this hype because the olympics were going to let him do the "dinner role" in competition. I remember watching it live and being really dissapointed cause it was just a corked 720, and everytime I saw him do it before that it looked more like biospin mixed with a rodeo. Then beyond that point he had an interview not long after where he's complaining about how he should have got gold because no one else did a "dinner role." This just bothered me because the rest of his run wasn't that great in terms of form & control, compared to those who placed.
 
Holy shit, thank god for youtube. This even has goku in it.
