Found this pic on the NBC site of someone doing a truck driver in the Olympic moguls. Don't know who it is, but props for trying to keep moguls in the category of lame, rather than ultra lame.

Anybody know who this is?

exactly. tons of sick park skiers start in moguls. furthermore anyone who did well in moguls could probably torch alot of NSers in any aspect of skiing because it improves your general skiing so much and they can throw most park tricks in the middle of a icy mogul run. for example bunch of kids i used to know through moguls rolled through the park wearing normal fitting clothes tossing d spin 10s and rodeo 7s and all the little urchins working on front 2s in their tall tees were left feeling stupid. moguls are sick and really are the core of freesking for a lot of people if you ask me and u wanna talk about lame, sick poetry OP

Dale Begg-Smith? He's a little bitch and poor sport as I read it during Vancouver 2010. I think he and his coach were right pissed that Alex Bilodeau won, and protested everywhere hard that Alex shouldn't have won gold. I don't know if you watched it on TV, but for Canadians and skiers, it was a clutch moment to watch but it was pretty epic, especially because Alex won us the first gold of the games. Canada also racked up the most gold medals ever won in a Winter Olympic games I believe, so yeaaah :P but I could be wrong.

Moguls kick ass. Everyone hating on them in this thread are probably wimps who can't ski moguls. Better stay on the groomer on your way to the lift, wouldn't want to challenge yourself/show everyone around you that you actually have no idea how to ski.

Holy fuck this whole mogul's debate is getting out of hand. different strokes for different folks is all i gotta say. i personally don't think very highly of moguls, and to all these people saying freeskiing came from moguls need to hop of their high horse. It's because of how shitty moguls was, as still is. That people like tanner hall moved to freeskiing. I know that sounds confrontational but it's kinda how it is. I'm tired of reading about kids getting super butt hurt about moguls, just be stoked that you enjoy skiing moguls and fuck all the people who don't like it, which would probably include me.

it would most definitely include you...im not gonna tell you what to like but anyone i know that understands mogul skiing and has set foot on a course has a much greater respect for them, so maybe if the opportunity arises, go shred some and see if your opinion changes.

"WAS" the coolest event. Until Slope and Pipe got in. Cuz no offense to mogul tricks, but I could backflip and cork 7 when I was like 13.
