Hey... I would have liked to have seen Moseley there. Although he might not get crazy corked and all that good stuff, I'm sure he can still put on at least a halfway decent show. Sure he got a lot of press with his 360 mute... but if you won the Olympic Gold Medal and had the opportunity to shoot a Sprint commercial... you wouldn't do it? He's a freestyle pioneer (even if he did bumps)... up there with Morrison, Cricton, and the New Canadian Airforce... I don't know why's there's so many Moseley haters...
Because he hasn't skied since the 2002 olympics aside from the icer air. which he sucked on but according to him "I hit the sweet spot." basically, he's a true definition of a sellout and one of the actually negative examples of one.
isnt selling out the whole point of being a professional skier?
"so ________, we'd like to sponsor you. we're going to give you a bunch of free shit and pay for you to go on a bunch of trips and also pay your entrance fees into every comp you like. all you have to do is ski, well."
i wish i had some huge company jocking me, i'd sell out in a fucking heart beat. its not like the music industry, where "selling out" suggests changing your musical style to satisfy your record company. no one is changing how they ski here.
yes it is. but you have to ski. Like I said, it's a bad sell out when you take the money and run from skiing, spending your winters filming realworld/roadrules bullshit tv shows for mtv. I'm sure i'd still bitch at moseley if they did those shows at whistler instead of the bahamas but this just makes J-ho even worse.
And once again, did you see icer air? he can't even throw a three that well anymore
oh, lame ass of me, i didnt' read all your post before i ref'd it.
yes, no one is changing how he skis... he just doesn't anymore. Bloom is going to go the same way once he gets laid the fuck out by some NFL DB who's six inches taller and 75 lbs heavier, ending his career and... taking on the MTV HD job full time
i was at icer air, moseley was one of the only guys to really clear the jump. sure his 3 wasnt as styley as everyone else, but hes a little over the hill, probably hadnt been on skis since the previous winter and was never really about style in the first place.
go back and watch some old tgr flicks, johnny moseley killed the big mountain scene AFTER he won the olympics.
