Old thread.
But to answer the question, it is human nature to hate what you don't have.
The man helped get the idea of freeskiing out to the general public and helped put the wheels in motion for skiing to become "cool" again to the general public.
Sure the New Canadian Air Force was throwing way crazier shit long before Moseley's 360 mute at Nagano, but very few witnessed the NCAF's skiing.
Moseley did a 360 mute in the middle of a great run where he skied the course fast and fluid. He got the gold medal, and the whole entire world basically saw a trick that was 763214t727632 times cooler than what most other mogul skiers were throwing.
I started freeskiing back then, and can honestly say that Moseley's 360 mute did impact my actions.
