Why: shameless pimping of the sport for the media
In the early 1990’s, Dan Cortese hosted a show on MTV that was in many ways a precursor to the X Games. Each week two or three alternative sports were featured. Freestyle got its turn in 1992. This is the segment that where Dave Schiller’s famous “it’s a sport I dearly love” quote came from.
Wow!
How many spins did Dave Murphy before his last Phlaud?
I think there were more than four!
