Bouncing Bowling Ball
« on: December 19, 2007, 02:23:48 PM »
We got bored one day, and after the mechanic kept sending our balls back with tape over each hole, we decided to make use of that tape. So we got some ideas. Fast forward a few days until today. We get some packing tape, about 15 napkins rolled up, and have some fun after finding my buddies PAP....

Part 1:

We got more videos today, just gotta get my buddy to upload them. More to come.

Please, tell me how this is relevant to this topic? Vandals being angry and tearing up the bathroom versus rolling a ball down the lane with a few napkins. That is COMPLETELY different.

It's relevance relates back to the topic in the sense of strict rule placement. Due to people that act in such a manner, immature and insubordinate, we can not afford to take the risk of allowing actions such as this to occur. This specific demonstration of 'bouncing balls' may in itself not be so destructive, but it only paves the way by setting a precedent of lax regulations. It is for reasons such as these that the rules have been instated.

That's whats wrong with kids today, they don't RESPECT anything. They don't know what it's like not to have anything. Bowling 3 games a week was something you cherished because that's all you got. You didn't putz around and act like a fool.  


You're 30 years old, give me a break.  You're practically part of this generation of youth.  You obviously have a chip on your shoulder about your troubled youth.  Don't act like todays youth get eveything handed to them, none of us want to hear your pity party.  There's just as many rich/middle class/poor kids now as there was 10 years ago and as there was 40 years ago.  So you grew up not having alot, blame your parents for not doing something about it.  Don't come to a bowling forum with your nonsense when you know damn well you did the same kinds of things as a kid, whether it be at an alley, on a ball field or wherever.  Cheers to you and your "tight ship" captain!

As a center owner, if someone pulled this crap in my center, OUT THE DOOR THEY WOULD GO!!

With that being said, the lil ba$tard that did this would probably be the first one to cry if his ball hit the pinsetter because of his stupidity, and got damaged, and he would want a NEW ball.  Ummm, right.  You want to act stupid, go audition for JACKARSE!

Rule placement for bowling, not for how people go to the bathroom. Lol. Another pointless arguement from someone trying to defend this dude. I can understand being strict, but it sounds like this guy is so uptight he squeaks when he walks. I understand and abide by the rules at our house but people are going to be people, most of us have a sense of humor. I don't see what it would hurt to go over to them and ask them to stop instead of trying to act like a hard*ss and just kicking them out. Have some respect yourself for them before you start telling us to respect the sport. Be courteous enough to walk up to them and ask them to stop instead of just kicking them out. How do you know that they mean harm? What if someone gets their ball stuck on their thumb and they loft the ball really far down the lane, are you going to kick them out because of a total accident? You couldn't pay me to bowl somewhere like that.

Dude, serious, stop with the personal attacks. Stop calling us punk kids, stop calling us sophomoric, stop calling us clowns. Stop saying we disrespect the sport, stop saying we are a shame. I have not personally called you out once, so Id appreciate it if you would stop. I have a real job, have been working different jobs since I was 15. I work for a real estate company doing Property Management, last time I checked that is a "real" job. But maybe its one of those fake jobs, just like I dont bowl at a "real" bowling center like yours. Mommy and daddy dont pay for anything for me. I live on my own, I pay rent, I pay bills, I pay for all my bowling stuff myself. So stop acting like Im some spoiled little brat who doesnt know right from wrong. You are being very stubborn and hardheaded here. You may run your center like this, SWEET, thats your choice. Was this done in your center? NO. So have a laugh with everyone else. Do you even remember the last time you laughed. Let loose, stop being so uptight.

And stop with the personal attacks.

Would you like to break the pin deck light and spend an hour of your day picking up glass because some punk kid is being funny?  Would you like to replace a ballast or rewire a light because your dumb joke of a bowling ball hit the pin deck light?


Wow lighten up, I work on A pinsetters and he could hurt nothing but the deck light. If you break that it takes like 5 minutes too change if you know how and being a pin chaser you should probably know how too do it. Man, I hate too know what you would say if you see the things me and my buddys do after hours.

The person throwing the ball like that should go play with some fireworks in their living room and play in some traffic during rush hour. The fact that you premeditiated this immature behavior with a video camera just goes to show you and your idiot friend have the IQ of an unripe tomato.

You're a disgrace to the game, and give it the black eye it has today.
Damage or not.

Exactly how would you figure out the IQ of a ripe tomato? What a waste of a post.

Your actions are not defendable, nor should you be proud of your video.
You're 19, the game has a lot to offer to people in or searching for a college.
Be something more, be more than "that guy" everyone points at for the wrong reasons.

If you had a coach, or someone young watching you do this in person (or on youtube), what would you think as a role model?

For us to bring this game back to where it belongs it starts with each person stepping up to the plate to make it better.

Waste of a post? Waste of a game.

I got permission to do the video from the general mangager and the head mechanic.  What is up with you.  I have been in the bowling business for 15 years.  what I have been through in the past year, I have learned to have fun in my life and I dont take things as serious.  This video shows the lighter side of bowling and you can have fun while doing it.  I used to bowl in the PBA and now I bowl out in vegas every year.  Plus I might be on storm staff at the new year.  Just have fun in life.
