Saw this live. Was sitting way up the hill in the stands with perfect view of the Dinner Roll. One of life's most memorable moments. One reason: because he was not doing the Dinner Roll for medal points. It was a statement.
Absolutely ripping his run, then getting out of his skis and jumping into the crowd was so metal. Just made the crowd stoke level go up 1000%. Legit brought the entire place down when he did that. Guy is an absolute legend.
Can’t help but laugh at this in the year 2020. And I don’t mean that with any hate whatsoever. The trajectory of the sport and where it is today just leaves me chuckling at this clip.
Yes, it is a spinning contest nowadays. Moguls are more evenly spaced, it is easier to maintain straight fall line. The sport moves away from it's roots, skiing. We have enough x games slopestyle etc events.
Haven't skied since 2002. Was a huge mogul fan. Moseley definitely brought the style back to freestyle. I remember the feeling of finally learning to do a 360. I'm older now, but wish I lived close enough to a mountain to try these new school tricks.
You are probably right, that makes sense... I am going off what my friends called it when they tried to do a 360 when I was a teenager in the early 90's. We were in the boonies lol.@@chrism9976
Anything went...cargo pants...make up your jump name off the top of your head...whatever you like. It was fun to watch then, sort of like watching the best ski bums on the olympic slopes... Style seems to mean something different with time as the olympics tends to want to turn anything into ballet were everyone is serious and wears the same unitard (with pointed toes if you can get them that way).
Yes, and no. Technically he should have been disqualified for that run. Inverted tricks were illegal in Olympic competition then. When the judges watched the replay they saw his feet went higher than his head during the spin. Technically an inverted trick. But instead of dq-ing him, they acknowledged how fucking bad-ass it truly was, and gave him a medal.
He got robbed, I respect him for throwing the D instead of selling out and doing what the judges wanted. Olympics what a joke they have snowboarding half pipe but no skiing half pipe.
It happens all the time.People R scared of new things.Wether its music or lifestyles or sports..People R afraid of change & the unknw.....But thats exactly what has to happen to have things 2 move forward & evolve!!.The fact that he came in 4th made no difference to the people (skiers) that understood what just happened ,,,,I was living in Breck when he pulled this off & the bar I was working at. ERUPTED!!.Lookin back on some of these YT vids a lot of this stuff looks tame by 2days standards!!
You see what changed is all these wealthy psycho narcissist yuppy parents coaching up their infants before they have a free will of their own. The kid is simply a product of these parents that treat raising kids as some sort of arms race. The kid isn’t shit, just a tool. People back then were more natural athletes. Now it’s just rich parents sending their kids to train for backflips in foam pits as soon as they can walk upright. The natural athlete has been replaced by these privileged trust fund babies (literally)
@MTBdawg lol you maybe 2 percent correct. Has more to do with the era..Lighter better equipment, terrain parks kids spend all day in... etc etc I've skied for forty years. When we were young it was moguls all day. Some back country n cliffs at most. Tricks consisted of helicopters, daphis, backscratchers and possible flip.. zero of what these kids do now. No one even thought of a flip twist off a fucking knuckle huck.. so good try with your theory. Lol
they didnt like his trick because it was "too newschool". i can remember having seen a video in which you can see that he had to go to the ioc court to beg that he would be allowed to show this trick... ioc sucks!

Glad you get it! This was so badass at the time, pretty much nothing nowadays
I was there before the Olympics started and saw Johnny do a training run, was incredible.
Epic. We need this kind of energy and creativity more than ever.

Don't lie, you called it a helicopter...
@@digiprez77 Thought that was a 360 with crossed tips...
You are probably right, that makes sense... I am going off what my friends called it when they tried to do a 360 when I was a teenager in the early 90's. We were in the boonies lol.@@chrism9976
This was awesome

That was the Gold, no doubt about it, he got screwed by a gaggle of ol' fuddie-duddie European judges

Security would taze that crowd nowadays. Dinner is served!
love the end
what a badass
"Hi I'm Johnny Mosely and I'm a hot dog skier" greatest Mcdonalds commercial ever. I can't find a clip of it anywhere -any help out there?
One of my favorite moments!!! Gnar points for sure!!
I have skied moguls and competed. WTF were the judges thinking when he skied the cleanest run and pulled the most risky maneuver.
way way cleaner tighter and faster than his 1998 olympic run
What a load of bull. Disqualifying one of the best mogul runs I've ever seen.
Holy shit was that awesome.
@audiopro316
Hes old. Still a legend. I keep his autographed poster hanging on my wall. lol
He should have won !!
Does anybody have a copy of the SNL parody of Mosley's Dinner Roll?
So much rad
He got robbed, I respect him for throwing the D instead of selling out and doing what the judges wanted. Olympics what a joke they have snowboarding half pipe but no skiing half pipe.

Times have certainly changed.. came to this video after watching a ten year old do a double back flip... 10 year old 😂

how did he only get 4th for that
That's sick! He must be a cool guy to do that. Wonder why he isn't competing in this year's olympics...
Real cool guy. 12 years ago. Do you remember Posting this
Some judges are just afraid of progress.
corked out 720
FUCK YEAH 4TH PLACE!!!!!!!
How? Does he accept online coupons?
I'm sure squid would have a few things to say to zhis guy......
4th place my ass!
they didnt like his trick because it was "too newschool".
i can remember having seen a video in which you can see that he had to go to the ioc court to beg that he would be allowed to show this trick...
ioc sucks!
I love how he only gets 4th...
Freestyle or no style.
isn't is just a cork 7
This is not "just a cork 7",this is THE cork 7
That was a lot of celebrating for 4th place
yea why the fuck did the judges have to jew him like taht
But Johnny loser did triple twister at the first jump.. 🤔
If we could've just skipped the first 30 seconds of freaks, loons and star-F'ers, it would've been great.
1 star.
