Jonny Moseley - Later Years

Later Years

Moseley launched a web site which sells products with his logo on them and has appeared on advertisements for McDonalds and Sprint. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley on May 17, 2007 with a B.A. in American Studies focusing on Consumer and Popular Culture. In December 2001, 3DO released Jonny Moseley Mad Trix a level based extreme skiing game named after the skier.

Moseley, who currently lives in California, was the host of three seasons of the MTV reality show Real World/Road Rules Challenge. He is part of the celebrity panel of judges (along with Steve Garvey and Oksana Baiul) on the ABC show "Master of Champions". After the 2002 Olympics Moseley hosted Saturday Night Live.

Moseley developed an aerial ski movie called "The Dinner Roll" and spoke about it during a 2002 speech at UC Berkeley:

"The Dinner Roll is a trick I developed for the ’99 X-Games. It’s a 720 degree off axis rotation, wherein you ski off the jump, do two full rotations, one on the horizontal plane and the other on the vertical plane. At the X-Games where everything is "extreme" and "rad" the jumps are big, and you have lots of time in the air. The Olympic moguls course is a whole different ball game. It’s steep, with tight turns, and a small narrow technical jump, with an unforgiving landing. The trick was so new that we had to appeal to the Olympic Skiing Federation in order just to do it. We had to show them that it fell within their rule stating "no inverted tricks in the moguls" and also prove that it was not dangerous. After lobbying and video explanation we pushed it through by one vote, much to the chagrin of the European countries."

In 2008, Warren Miller's Children of Winter was released with Moseley as the narrator. He was also in the movie as he has been in a few Warren Miller ski movies in the past. Moseley narrates and skis in Warren Miller's latest film called Dynasty. Moseley also used to host a weekly radio program on Sirius/XM's channel 41. The show was called "The Moseley Method". Moseley was the color analyst for NBC at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver for the moguls, aerials and ski cross events.

In 2010 he was cast on the ABC show Skating with the Stars where he will be paired with retired Pairs skater Brooke Castile. Mosley finished in third place as second runner-up. He is currently the host of the latest viral marketing campaign by Ford Motor Company, Focus Rally America.

In 2011 Moseley became a co-host of "American Ninja Warrior" on G4. In 2012 the show moved to NBC and he continued his hosting role.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    I put away my brushes; resolutely crucified my divine gift, and while it hung writhing on the cross, spent my best years and powers cooking cabbage. “A servant of servants shall she be,” must have been spoken of women, not Negroes.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm, U.S. newspaperwoman, abolitionist, and human rights activist. Half a Century, ch. 8 (1880)

    I’d give all wealth that years have piled,
    The slow result of Life’s decay,
    To be once more a little child
    For one bright summer-day.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
