WHO SAW JONNY MOSELEY PULL THE DINNER ROLL

it was sweet that he pulled it in the moguls....but im so used to watching him lay it out that it was kinda lame....and it was pretty much a cork 7

 
Try nbc.com, and Liam Donney just pulled a dinner roll in a mogul comp two weeks ago at Waterville valley. It's pretty hot in the bumps if you can stick it.

it was so weird when he did a corked 7 cause i thought he was gonna do a rodeo 7 (the real 'dinner roll'). but i guess it wasn't working for him so he learned somethin new. and they mustve used the name dinner roll because its 'media friendly'

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?
 
if you think about it, he would technically be allowed to do a flatspin because in theory, your skis dont go above your head.

I WAS THERE IN PERSON DUDE. IF YOU RECORDED IT, RIGHT BEFORE IT SHOWS JONNYS FIRST RUN IT SHOWS THE CROWD FOR A SEC AND YOU CAN SEE ME WITH MY SIGN THAT SAYS SHOW US THE DINNER ROLL JONNY. BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

 
Yah I watched it. I thought it was sick. I'd definately rather see that then fucking twisters all day. It looked different from the other times I've seen him do it though....

All in all, it basically looked like a corked 7. Shibby as tho. The thing I don't understand, is why does Moseley get to have his own name put to a trick when it's almost the same as another trick?

~'BigAirSkier1580: and i am a newschool skier

DatGrlyChick: skier??

BigAirSkier1580: yah

DatGrlyChick: whats that?'

**Love ya Lacey**
 
I saw your sign too parker, the reason he can name his own 'trick' even thogh it's almost the same is cause the commentators at NBC wouldn't know the difference, he could have told them it was a fakie 7

 
i remember watching that on tv it looked much cooler then than it does now. that commentator is pretty awesome though.
 
I find it really funny that it was just 2002 that people where barely even thinking about pulling tricks like that in the moguls. And when Jonny stood up and did the dinner roll not many people had respect for it in the moguls, but now the best mogul skiers on any circut can't be where they are without something similar to a dinner roll.
 
I did.

Moseley was pretty instrumental in keeping skiing alive if you ask me... His run in Nagano and the rule changes he pushed for in bumps kept A LOT of the younger talented kids in ski boots. That generation went on to pretty much establish free skiing.

He gets a lot of crap (some rightly so) but at the end of the day he won an Olympic gold, competed in X Games, went on to have his own free skiing invitational, pro model ski, and skiing video game... things that everyone on this site wishes they could claim.
 
Back to the thread title, I want to know how many of you actually saw Johnny Moseley throw the 'Dinner Roll"

"He adds the yeast, heats the oven, and delivers a freshly baked dinner roll"

and its also funny that he didn't even get the grab
 
I could not agree more. The judges were behind the times and underscored him, but Moseley opened the door for a much better sport. All the guys are pulling sick tricks in the bumps now.

It is too bad the judges were not hip to it at the time. A Moseley gold in 2002 really would have brought a lot more excitement to mogul skiing. They were 4 years behind, and it cost the sport a lot of publicity. Moseley not winning the gold probably caused some kids who were borderline to go the freeskiing route.

Moseley had a very good argument for being the best skier in the world back then. One of the best in an olympic discipline, great in the park, and awesome in big mountains. Watch The Realm, Something About McConkey, and Ski Movie 1.
 
that was probably the best commentary ive ever heard...and jodi...fuck yeah! i just saw phrosty's name pop up in another old thread that got brought up...havent seen that one in aaggeesss

As I said 8 years ago when this thread came back, he is one of the best skiers ever to set foot on the planet. Watch his old big mountain footage and prepare to be amazed.

his Ski Movie 1 segment is legendary
 
I was super excited by this thread title and thought that it would be an oldschoolers reminiscence.

It's easy to toss shade on Johnny Mosley, but a lot of us wouldn't be talking about triple 16s or flipping into Corbet's or the logistics of living out of a tent in February at Squaw if it wasn't for Mosley.

The man is an A-List pioneer alongside the New Canadian Air Force, The Godfather, the Schrab's and a lot of the early Matchstick and TGR riders. His dinner roll is just a cork 7, but it is perhaps the most influential cork 7 ever thrown.
 
i was ten years old when this happened hahaha i remember it vividly... whack AF he got 4th
