So many people hate on him, but that was an awesome moment in skiing history. Not sure about "AMERICAN NUMBER ONEEEEEEE" though lol.

true, looking at it in todays context just does not give it the credit it deserves.
I was young, and I rember thinking how cool that was. And for me, that was the begining of freeskiing. It was almost like when the Beattles apeared on the Ed Sullivan show.
And lets not forget Juilen LaForge also did a 360 mute, or so I heard

either way... they show the run in Fistful of Moguls...buy "Fistful of Moguls" because it is a really good movie. One of Stump's finest and the skiing is at such a high level. Has a a sick part of Szocs, Douglas, Auclair and Atkinson throwing down offa the windlip while Seal is playing in the background...Seal kicks muthafukin ass!

Wow, I'm actually impressed for once with the NS members, no one bashed on something for once. It's impossible to argue that Moseley's 360 Mute didn't save not only mogul skiing but skiing as a whole. His dinner roll in 2002 was the final step in stopping mogul skiing's downward spiral. So thank you Jonny, and congratulations NS members on using your brains for once. Bravo.
