ACMESkydiver 0 #26 June 9, 2005 QuoteYou just need to take a break and slow down. QuoteI have an instructor. He's a great bowler. He gave me my bigger ball. I can already do a 270 approach on it. Next week I'm gonna go to brand new alley and try a 360!!! Clicky That was me. I found a wormhole and traveled to next week. My first throw I decided to pull a 360. As I was approaching the line, I noticed a pool of sweat in my approach. Rather than go around it or abort my approach. I decided to swoop it like I'd seen people on the PBT do. Big mistake. My feet went out from under me and I spilled my beer. Not just a little beer but the whole cup. If that wasn't bad enough, I lost control of my ball and spilled three other people's beers. At that point I wanted to quit. I decided to hang onto my gear for a few months but I've gone back to a lighter ball and am starting over. I started slowly bowling again and just to be ultra careful, only bowl with half full beers. I found another wormhole and came back and saw your post. Just take time off. Don't quit. Crying over the I spilled my beer in bold. You are killing me, Bolas!!!! You rock.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

scaryshari 0 #27 June 9, 2005 Bolas, just screw these hypocrites!! They are all Alley Gawds and forgot that they’ve all been in the gutter at one point or another. There are other extreme sports where I’m sure we wouldn’t be faced with as much arrogance as we are here. I’m looking at extreme pool. And I’m getting my own chalk and stick!! So that I look really cool, I’m gonna buy some finger-less gloves. I’ll be an icon in the sport. Come join me! is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #29 June 9, 2005 I can sooo relate to what you are saying. I too am a Beautiful person who was rushed trough Bowling Class. I simply was not told about setting up in the pattern.. Which of the Little Arrows to Line up on and which of the little Dots to Aim for. I Always just threw the Ball straight. Now I find out that I should have been putting that special spin on the Ball so that it will HOOK properly. This is sad and it is Dangerous!! The worst thing was no one told me that if I crossed the fowl Line, I had to let go of the ball. So there I was... About to die.. There was a little extra wax in FRONT of the Fowl Line. My Approach was great, The set up was fine.. And then it went to shit. I hit the wax, Slid across the fowl line and it never dawned on me to release the Ball. (The Ball was 12 LBer.. Nice and conservative for my skill level), But even that ball can hurt if you dont let it go!! And I didnt. So there I was.. Sliding Face first with My Arm out in front of me, Ball Tightly Gripped heading for the Pins. The impact was rough. Pins everywhere. and they kept hitting me as they came back down. It was horrible. I then quit that dangerous sport. It could have been different if one of my instructors would have just told me to release the ball!! Beautiful people like Us have no business Bowling. We will just get hit on all the time and never really learn the game. Now I am going to take up a Sport more fitting for someone with my Looks.. Hocky Anyone?

I bet they never told you about the ball return either, you poor thing. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

ACMESkydiver 0 #37 June 9, 2005 Well frankly I don't think any of you has a fucking right to tell me what to do! If I want to bowl, I will...none of you know me!! You don't know my personality(ies)! To all of you who said that ball was too big and I don't listen, you can all go fuck yourselves! You're all just jealous! I am a very SAFE bowler, I made sure I spoke to a caoch that told me to use the 8 lb ball before I hauled out the 16 pounder! Then...um, that coach said the sixteen pound ball was perfect for my unGodly beautiful fingers! Honestly I think he was just mesmerized by my beauty, curse this gorgeous face! HE didn't even tell me that 16 pounds is heavy. I didn't realize that until it pulled my shoulder out of socket, fucking idiot coaches and their obsession with my beauty! You would think that somebody would have told me that a sixteen pound bowling ball was heavy, dammit! How the hell am I supposed to figure that out on my own? I mean really...I wouldn't know to ask! Coaches need to learn to teach new bowlers how dangerous and how heavy sixteen pounds is, we certainly don't know to ask.
