Jason, if you don’t feel well, you won’t bowl well. You have done great under the circumstances, still a pleasure to see you bowl.

[@DaMaxchi]

Years ago, I abandoned all hope of modeling my game after yours...but your mental approach to the myriad of circumstances that you face in competition has taught me a lot and I strive to bring that forward to my bowling. Thank you so much for sharing. I am grateful.

[@fg_14]

Belmo, we hope you're feeling better now. We know it's not the outcome you wanted, but it's just the start. The fam and I will be rooting for you all the way! And gotta say-- the purple and black jersey looks awesome!

[@benjamindean2864]

Dude..I love the fact of all the pros..you're sick, timezone is off, family isn't around..and still have a champion mindset..either way Belmo..I've been following you since '13..and you have a Champion mindset..best wishes to you and your family

[@rshowers7590]

Fighting through the bad and owning it. That’s why you are who you are, and why I watch.

[@josephbazarnik7878]

You bowled while u weren't feeling the greatest and u grind it out. Your a inspiration to never give up. Get rest and get ready for US OPEN

[@BlazedKing]

I love watching you bowl your the main reason I switched to two hands bowling you got this belmo let's go 🎉

[@davidtruong6141]

Belmo, I think you did an amazing job. You were sick and were stay able finish. You'll get the next one. You are the GOAT for a reason. Rest well and get the next one. I love your black shoes.

[@flashforum939]

You’re such an inspiration with how you set small, manageable goals all the time - whether things don’t go your way or you’re on fire 🔥. This is so awesome to see and I believe it’s a huge part of your success. I try and do the same in my personal and professional life and seeing this is a great reminder of how much you can accomplish with this mindset 🙌

[@robvoyles]

Belmo, can i give you some advise, no matter what happens, just have fun win or lose, you will bowl better if you have fun!.. cheers mate. Rob

[@BBDragon66]

Pressing on through feeling rough is hard!! Top professional attitude!! Always pulling for you.

[@michaelstusiak5902]

Hope you are feeling better. Thank you for taking us along even when things aren't going well.

[@tokyosan7906]

Its cold in the entire middle of the US. Use your influence Belmo and convince the PBA to make early season tournaments in Hawaii or Guam or something haha!

[@gregcochennet385]

Loved the video. Shows how tough it is out there to compete. I can’t imagine having to concentrate that long and know every shot is so important.

[@patrickfortune1687]

We all look forward to seeing you both again, and we all know that you will do better

[@vermin1970]

Thanks for posting these, you’ve been a great influence on my bowling.

[@777greglee]

Lots of love from Oz, mate. We're with you.

[@mikeholt1248]

Inspirational, to say the least!

[@mikedigregorio7808]

Nice to see actually what bowling ball you switch to and you post it up on the screen. Once again best KZbin show out there for bowling. Nice

[@anthonycaso3922]

I love that you left in the fact that you wanted to re-do the intro. I know it's mostly off the top of your head and organic. But I appreciate you not wanting to misepak and being very clear about what you are saying. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@whiteriverangler9670]

It’s so cool because I watched EJ make that comment to you on bowltv and wondered what he had said to you. I love love love these vlogs and really appreciate you taking the time to make them

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

Gday belmo love watching your u tube. I reckon if you weren't feeling as bad as you were and also sound I am sure it would have been a better result today. Always supporting you from back here in Tasmania. Good luck mate.

[@doedeerdesign]

Belmo - thanks for the vids mate. These are awesome! can't wait for the next one!

[@user-dm2ko9mm5u]

The legend

[@edgargamboa5003]

It’s difficult to play if you don’t feel good. Still you can play another day to recover.good luck

[@mikedigregorio7808]

Great show again. Obviously your are the best but love that you willing show how it is to lose also. Very motivational

[@michaeldigregorio5389]

Jason great insight again. Hopefully you keep doing the same type content. Its a great watch.

[@richardsanteyan8251]

Love these type of videos please keep them coming

[@leuguimnieves3318]

Everyone is in the beach 😂 whattttttt ❤🤟🎳

[@michaelbridgeland6572]

every road in life is full of bumps belmo you just gotta keep on keeping on . if your crook as rookwood and still performing better than most it is an achievement . wood be nice if i could bowl as consistently as yourself !!

[@gibby9209]

Great videos. Watched all of match play. If you could do it again would you stick with the IQ78 for all of match play or would you have a different strategy?

[@jrdjr444]

Good to see you bowl. get well soon!!

[@joshuaslosser6988]

Cool to see Mitch Hupe with 900G now

[@aquariumtojoyoutube7952]

こんにちはジェイソン、私は日本人です、しかしジェイソンの動画を見ていると臨場感が伝わり楽しいです。これからも楽しみにしています♪😸Hi！Jason、I'm Japanese. I don't understand English.But It's like you're transported to another world.I'm looking forward to it.

[@radicaledward8486]

❤ to jason and the fam.

[@teresavicario5848]

Love you no matter what!

[@joeanderson9267]

Keep grinding!

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Feel better we all get fried mentally at times on the Lanes Don't forget your Starbucks coffee with 2 sugars Mate!!❤😊 Close your eyes on the approach take 3 deep breaths and then open your eyes 👀 think a positive thought about Hugo or your Wife then Bowl!! Everyone knows your the Goat 🐐 and what your capable of!!❤

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

Last among the most elite bowlers in the world is still incredibly difficult. Doing it with a throbbing head, aches and pains, general ill health portends well fur the rest of the season, better luck next week

[@IAmTheEggMan111]

Tell your camera guy to aim a little lower so that we can see your foot work and release. Yes I realize the camera guy is going for a certain style but we bowlers want to see your foot work and release. David Kroll at 12:03 is perfect

[@savannahmediagroup]

Hi! I'm the camera woman. Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes during tournaments I'm extremely limited in where I'm able to stand and film, so I'm just trying to get *any* shot that I can. But, feedback like this helps us give the viewers what they want to see. I appreciate the timestamp for reference.

[@pamelabarbee2487]

​@@savannahmediagroupThat's a good point, but some of us want to also see what line he's using and what kind of shape Belmo is making with the ball he's using. But you're doing a fine job considering the limitations you're dealing with. Keep up the good work.

[@ScottMarianii]

Always remember when you are the best, everyone who plays you treats it like the finals

[@davidmorris2234]

I’ve been thinking about trying to throw two handed, but don’t know if my back could take the extra torque, due to my two fractures and two surgeries attempting to resolve my chronic pain from a car accident that herniated two dics. My ball preference would be a Hammer Scorpion to complete my arsenal.

[@Joshuaperalta8]

what was your new phaze 2 layout?

[@deanbardsley7666]

I can't imagine if Chris Via actually tried to throw with power. Looks like he's throwing an underarm to a little kid to give thek an easy hit or catch XD

[@shainependergraft6248]

Hey there Jason my name is Shane I was wondering if you are going to make more videos and I miss you bowling

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

I have a question: do you ever get tired of it, like now for example, because of missing a family vacation?

[@melissabowers6268]

You still got paid. You are a human after all! With all the endorsements and the ambassdorship of yourself to all of bowling, you will still have a GREAT YEAR with money and winnings and revenue! Things do get better! You will get them next tourney!

[@MohammadDakkak]

oops, editor didnt cut the beginning piece.

[@epeng271970]

Feel better. STOP THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE, your Jason Belmont the GOAT. Next tournament get into a focus that you don’t see or hear anybody but your breathe and the lane. Worry about the strike or spare you need to do at that moment time and not the whole tournament. When you get to that stage where you are doubting your self or your in the bad place, close your eye and meditate, think about the things that make you happy, Family, friends anything. Good luck next tournament.

[@shainependergraft6248]

Hi there my name is Shane I was wondering if you are still on the pba and are you going to make more video ?

[@davencook9995]

W man

[@lancerowe2402]

You will get it together tomorrow

[@stuartniedermayer8187]

Also what’s your layout for urethane usually

[@stuartniedermayer8187]

You should try and convince the PBA to go back towards Vegas and California this time of year

[@user-wm2od2vk6z]

I have never been out of the United States but you can drive in the U.S. with a Australian driver's license??? That's pretty cool

[@Seth_Harms]

I'm sorry, but anyone else realize how they kept the first intro in aswell.🤣

[@Ken_Leivonen]

Jason, sorry to see you struggle in this tournament, I am thinking it is definitely related to the cold that you have, no matter how hard to concentrate it is very difficult to focus, you could really see and hear it your voice during the recap that you gave at the end of the video. Get well and you will bowl better in the next tournament. BTW, I like the new format showing who you are bowling in each match and what the result was at the end of the game. Maybe in the future you can add what place you are in at the end of each game and how far out of the TV show or in your case normally how far a head of the cut you are are. Ken

[@DanCole-jx9nv]

Jason, are you now back in Sunny Australia?

[@jamesjackson8652]

These videos are excellent. I wonder though, does the process of making these interfere with your ability to be in the zone ? It's probabaly my imagination but it seems that since doing them you haven't been at you amazing very best.

[@benjamindean2864]

Dude..your sick..missing family .off timezone....youll get better..then..boommmmm..the next major!! Keep your chin up bro...i mean, mate!!!

[@Ryan-uy8mu]

First. Let's goooo! love the videos.

[@paulmarjoram2258]

Jason. You did well to turn up. I might have stayed in bed. I guess it proves how committed you are to your sport. It was obvious you were feeling shit. Inconsistent releases at varying speeds and not really finding your mark. Very un-Belmo like. Credit to you. Get rested and ready for the masters.

[@ScottMarianii]

A 259 against Via and you lost. Wow!

[@Mrck40]

Do you really have to go through all those ball changes to be a professional?!

[@weevie833]

Dude, your body is recovering. Chalk it up to being human. Finish up with dignity and move on to the next gig. Get some rest, eat well.

[@MrSouthpoint69]

Go home Belmo
