should have won medals because of it, but judges blew and didn't think it should be allowed.

It actually wasn't revolutionary at all.  I remember watching him do it, and thinking "wow, half my friends can do that trick, and we simply call it a cork 7."  Sure, it was "revolutionary" in the olympics, but most freestyle mogul skiers at the time had plenty of inverted tricks they could do.  Tom Lincoln even invented the Lincoln loop in moguls, and was disqualified from the world tour because he always threw it.

the dinner roll is a d-spin but the skiing indusrty wouldnt allow such a gay name so they shortened it to d-spin

ya my cousin grew up skiing with jonny and saw him throw rodeo and lincoln type flips and spins, i'm just saying from the "dinner roll" perspective it was revolutionary because nobody had tried to pull the off axis yet not inverted spin in the olympics before
my cousin always talks about how jonny had way better tricks for comps but he just wasn't allowed to throw them

It was a rodeo seven. He usually did it with a relatively late last 180 whip around.

And as the dude above said, they called it a Dinner Roll in moguls, but it wasn't the same.

actually it might have been revolutionary cause i remember seeing at the last olympic the canadian (claim) mogul skier throw down a cork 10 in the moguls  so yeah it might have added a lil bit more origniality to the sport but i dont think that corks will make anyone win in the moguls anyways they much rather someone who goes fast and makes rediculously sketch moves in the air... whatever floats their boat i guess

it's a rodeo 7, Mosley himself says it. However, when he did it in moguls it was more of at Flatspin 7, and it was named a "Dinner Roll" because he didn't go inverted (hence the flat 7 instead of rodeo 7) cause they weren't allowed to. A D-spin is essentially a Back Full Twist (360 Backflip), so it's not a d-spin because he didn't go fully inverted.

sadly he is part of the reason why our sport is as big as it is today, so you should be licking his feet not calling him a douche

"He mixes the water with a little flower, adds the yeast, preheats the oven, bakes it, the dough rises; and he delivers a fresh dinner roll! "

I really can't stand him, basically because he started taking credit for the 360 Mute when he did it at the Olympics. 1. He wasn't the first, 2. He wasn't the only one in the 98 olympics to toss a 360 mute in their run. Then 4 years later he starts getting all this hype because the olympics were going to let him do the "dinner role" in competition. I remember watching it live and being really dissapointed cause it was just a corked 720, and everytime I saw him do it before that it looked more like biospin mixed with a rodeo. Then beyond that point he had an interview not long after where he's complaining about how he should have got gold because no one else did a "dinner role." This just bothered me because the rest of his run wasn't that great in terms of form & control, compared to those who placed.

it was a biospin/rodeo before. as long as he spun off axis with a 7, he claimed dinner roll.
