why wasn´t jonny mosley disqualified?

not that i´m sorry he wasn´t or that i think that inverts shouldn´t be allowed but rules are rules.

take a look at this:

In my opinion, to bew inverted, you have to get you head lower then you butt. Mike nick is doing uninverted rodeo but he kick ihis leg to the sky, so he his head under feet, but his head is at the same level as his butt.
you can see a pic on frreeze site

im thinking that this is why he didnt add a mute grab to the dinner roll (cork 7)... it might have made it too conspicuous that he was inverted, and they would have DQ-ed him...

that´s a good point quebec but take a look at the pic, his head is definitely below every part of his body.

it also depends where the Air judges were standing on the course... does anyone know where they stand in relation to the jump?

In qualifying his feet definitely went above his head.

Well, he didn't win anyway so I guess it doesn't matter. Still, if the judges were paying close attention (or if he wasn't Jonny Moseley) he would have been out, judging from that pic.

to make him non-inverted you have to make the trees lean!

I don't see what the big deal is. He cleared the trick with FIS and they said he could throw it without being DQed. So it really isn't a big deal.

Steve, what ya doing recreating the whole nav bar?

anyway, His feet do go above his head, but I guess he doesen't really go inverted. The FIS's definition of inverted was feet over the head I think, but he compromised and made it so his head had to be above his waist or main torso. which he did do. I think this is a better rule, becuase as skiers get better the grabs will pull teh feet up...

Please don't try inverted tricks on beds. The only people that gain experiance is the chiropractor and the furniture salesmen.

How's my posting?

I was There and i was by the judges kind of, from where we were you could not tell that his head went under his feet and neither could the judges, THEY DONT GET INSTANT REPLAY IN MOGULS.

I hate twisters, twister spreads, triple twisters, quad twisters, spread eagles and other crap like that. Dinner Roll (Cork 7) = Good.

The Dinner Roll 720 is not an inverted rick according to the FIS. If askier does the trick, even if he get sorta inverted that one time, the judges won't be able to notice. they'll see it as a not inverted trick and presume that the skier was not inverted.

it is the way the pic was taken.
it is taken from a diagonal view, if the pic was taken at the same height as johnny (or from the front or the back) you would notice that he isn't inverted. look at it this way, if the pic was taken on the other side at the same angle it would look like his head was above his legs (as much as his legs are above his head in that pic)...does that make any sense...it's camera angles. the pic was taken at about 45 degrees.
