those in depth discussions between belmo and timmy were awesome!

[@flashforum939]

I love it all - the drive, the chit chat, his thoughts going into the tournament and the talks with Tim.

[@marke219]

This was my favorite video of yours! It really showed someone like me who is not that good at bowling....that you are extremely cool under pressure...resourceful and experienced. It was really inspiring.

[@bowlnow824]

Give your editor some props. Love these Vlogs

[@Rust_on_stuff]

This was a great one! Love seeing the conversation with tim Mack. Hoping for more like this one. Keep it up

[@jaywhey8822]

You can tell Jillian is back when the 48 minute videos return. Also, you are a true southerner for trying to get Belmo to try Chick-Fil-A and Waffle House. xD

[@pgaluck]

Love these extra long videos Belmo with more analytics from Tim. Really makes it fun to watch. Keep it up mate! Massive fan from Cairns.

[@jmatte666]

Belmo with the illegal u turn 😂

[@tackywacky99]

Love the conversation between mack and belmo about the ball change and adjustment to the transition. It shows people that in order to be great at the sport, you can't just fill gaps in your versatility with bowling balls because the game isn't that simple. Even with 2 of the best in the business, there isn't a perfect choice for any situation.

[@thott11]

I love the interaction between them as well, shows how much it takes to be successful beside just throwing good shots, the considerations, the planning on the pairs ahead and the data on how the previous players did on the same pair

[@TCR_tarvis1981]

Cookies and biscuits with Belmo! Love it!

[@james3282]

Even the Best go through rough times but come back later, sometimes better than before. Never give up Jason, you have changed the game for the better. More eyes are looking every time.

[@ellismachine]

Love seeing the conversations with Tim Mack. Really gives a great perspective on the thought process of you and the tour reps

[@Envythis]

Just started the video. I watch every one Belmo! I love hearing you talk about the stronger covers like Phaze 2. U are so dam good with that ball. Also if I remember correctly I'm always calling for that big bo rstx2, LETS GOO!

[@brianfields2128]

Lets go Belmo.!!! End the season with a win ##1

[@ScottG91]

Can't even keep up with the we'll see counter😂😂😂. Keep killing it Jason and Jillian

[@Tcrror]

48 minutes!?!? Awesome! Keep grinding away. ❤

[@NeverDauntedRadioNetwork]

Belmo, I don't know if you read these, but after years, I have finally come to appreciate your game, and your ability to serve as a real ambassador for the game we love. Seeing you with Pablo Torre really, really mattered. Keep it up and keep our game alive. Cheers.

[@Zaknik0226]

I love these American food reviews with Belmo. Actually a great bit. Keep it up! lol

[@LinuxScouser]

The way I kind of compare the biscuit/cookie thing is that a cookie is a type of biscuit in the UK but to Americans all biscuits are cookies. Speaking as someone from the UK though who has been living in the US for almost 13 years.

[@ScottyThompson-lt7wl]

Cool video talk tech bowling tournament Jason Belmonte

[@evgrin1507]

Belmo 🐐

[@LuckyOJB]

Love the Vebos shape. The 2,10 you left you fell off balance I noticed and it whiffed right

[@michaelarms5451]

Hey belmo im a huge fan and watch your content and appreciate you taking time to share as well as others bowlers too. Ive been watching and it seems it tight so my opnion i would find a ball to bowl middle to ten. Stay in middle and dont go left. Seems it like ten down lane or close to it . Good luck bro

[@Bradon881]

48mins belmo video!? Yes plz

[@ExtremeSimMotortv]

I have bowled against Jason belmonte back a long time ago in Perth Western Australia at the Perth cup at fairlanes Perth centre but that centre is no longer around.

[@GracieGarage]

Belmo. You are the lion of the jungle. Stop playing it safe with urethane. Stand left with reactive and let it rip. Time for you to roar!

[@robvoyles]

keep throwing the virtual black ball strong and stand it up, it looked like the old belmo.

[@LukeIson]

We need a Belmo Eurathane

[@JoshFiver]

This is a great idea!

[@tackywacky99]

Hey belmo, if you read this. it's obvious that leaving splits on supposedly good shots is always a bummer, but stuff like the 2-10 and 6-10 are very makeable with a straight shot. I see that you tend to not give too much focus on picking up those splits, or try to do something too fancy instead of just trying to throw it more accurately. Would love to see some better attempts at those. We all know you can hit those easily.

[@armandosarza5835]

He doesnt need your input bud. Its different when youre in the game.

[@tackywacky99]

@@armandosarza5835 you telling me, he couldn't have put the same effort into those early spares like he did closer to the end of the video? I mean I bowl my pba regionals in my area, so I have a good idea of what I'm talking about. That's like saying, you're not gonna try for your first 2 field goals and then try for the last 2.

[@richpaull7820]

He throws a backup ball at the 2-10 consistently, that’s his preferred way of going after it. I promise it’s not effort, he’s just human and misses sometimes like the rest of us

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

This man needs Biscuits and Gravy!!!! Good Biscuits and Gravy

[@JasonBelmonte]

I agree!!! -Jillian

[@davestran]

Back to basics you are famous for, besides weird lane conditions.

[@CliftonDon74]

Great segment Belmo! Along the lines of the morning "car chat" regarding biscuits, have you heard of or had/made fairy bread? Please reply. Thanks so much! Another thing, how does it feel having your name on a banner above a lane you are playing on?

[@kimanismith4085]

Wally Waffle’s is good too!

[@Mememememememe123]

100% he was throwing the lightning blackout not the vebo 👀👀👀

[@chieflongsock]

Go hit em Jason!

[@iml1945]

Belmo said the oil makes his spate ball greasy? I thought his spare ball is plastic and he is able to wipe the ball clean (no absorption)?

[@MaxTheJedi]

Loved the video! mayble consider turning the music down a touch though lol.

[@briansheman]

Notice how the comments fade away when there’s no bowling balls at stake Lol

[@quinnbostic]

Hey Jason, you mentioned that your spare ball was greasy, making it tricky to throw. Why didn't you have a problem with the urethane being oily? I personally struggling getting a good grip on urethane because it is slippery, have any tips?

[@TheRagingRayn]

The lanes look brutal this year.

[@laurencebooth9280]

biscuits crunch, cookies are soft!!!!

[@AudunWangen]

I can relate with not understand what the hell the lanes are doing 😔

[@imB1gRed]

Belmoooooooooooooo

[@pendragon808]

Do you get to practice when you go to a new pair?

[@LeftyLR]

Whats that beat called around 24:38?

[@ahampel22]

You have to try a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit from McDonald's breakfast menu!

[@Blooblah05]

@36:51 that's the reality not phaze 2 i think

[@JasonBelmonte]

Oops!! Thank you for that. On blocks where we have a lot of ball changes, I sometimes drop the ball myself. -Jillian

[@pamelabarbee2487]

​@@JasonBelmonteNo worries Jillian. You're doing great.

[@lylebarnard7447]

I don't know what type of oil Bowlero use but it clings to everything except the lanes

[@raidmagic]

Interesting to watch the discussion between you and Tim.

[@bowlnow824]

;Jason in the south if you ever say biscuits are just for breakfast those are fighting words! lol we don't let anyone say biscuits. Some people down here leave Biscuits and gravy and a sweet tea for Santa versus cookies and milk. lol always will be a fan and hope to make a national stop one day. They too far away from North Carolina for me.

[@IIXIIXVXIIXII]

I cant speak for Jason of course, but i can say that our biscuit can be both round, or square, and both large, or small, but its def not a cookie! You can have it with tee, or coffee, but you serve it with an arrangement of various cheeses, and fruits, butter. You whouldent eat a cookie with cheese, or butter whould you, or maybe you whould, or maybe you whould when you are American?

[@kenfrank7708]

My question is.... Is Tim Mack a ball rep for all Storm bowlers or assigned to just BELMO? While he has had an outstanding career on his own, it takes away from the illusion of bowling being an individual sport. Granted the game has changed a lot over the years, it seems to be more of a 'team' sport. Honestly, I enjoy watching the videos for BELMO and while the conversations are interesting, how many other Storm bowlers don't get that attention. Stay strong BELMO and do what you do best.

[@JG-tx7mt]

The ball reps help all the bowlers under their particular company.

[@glen4688]

I wonder what it’s like for these guys to bowl on the lane that has their own banner hanging over the pins.

[@TrendSettaRico]

👀🍿🐐

[@allencrusoe298]

belmo i watch all the videos and watch you on bowl tv your the only reason i pay for it is for you

[@frommi_24]

Question for ,,Ask Belmo’’ What is your warm up routine before bowling ?

[@TheKerry206]

Not the WaHo!!! I have a question for Jason. After working with your videographer for the past year, were you really surprised that she already had the closest Waffle House locations ready…. And do you think that if you had said “No”, instead of “We’ll see”, how many rebuttals do you think she had prepared to argue her point? Asking for a friend that deals with similar situations.

[@jasonwkamigaki2688]

4:07 how much martial arts training have you had? These are the questions you need to ask yourself before you go into a waffle house.

[@jh26pt2]

Pro tip for Belmo and Jillian: there's a Waffle House in Medina, 15 minutes the other way down route 18/Market.

[@Daniel-cp2ps]

Sometimes the equipment doesn't match up. Sometimes your game doesn't quite suit the lane. Sometimes the stars don't quite align. Get 'em next time champ.

[@bowling_1229]

👍

[@JustChuck1t]

Does Tim Mack mainly help Belmo?

[@REMOVED.101]

No he doesn’t help him his just there for Jason to talk to and get angry at when he bowls bad

[@ainelawlor5755]

boom even the greats struggle

[@strangeunidude]

All cookies are biscuits, not all biscuits are cookies

[@Envythis]

I'm surprised you stayed with Urethane in game 3 instead of moving left with a reactive. Nobody transitions like Belmo

[@angelaweigle5625]

Here for the bowling. Don't really care to spend time watching discussions concerning coffee and food.

[@LuckyOJB]

After watching Miller, and Kyle's page why did you even start with urethane. Those two and simo all stayed reactive and played a little arc on a Sim break point as u but scored better

[@bryceshepherd9584]

Does he respond?

[@CTM_Nation99]

Waffle house different platters, mostly little bowl with meats and eggs and some with bacon or hasbrown, taters, all kinds of things JB. They got obviously waffles, I believe pancakes I could be wrong and steaks which are always yum! Just your typical american eating joint with dang good food.

[@brandonaustin7213]

Don't eat the waffles there it's a trap

[@for8861]

Who is jillian

I’m the one who films and edits this vlog with Jason. -Jillian

[@REVTrackStaff]

The carry in this building looks absolutely atrocious. I bet there will be 2-3 people that are able to carry well, and everyone else will struggle in that area

[@vanitys7]

I'd love to see Jason visit a waffle house for a breakfast n brawl at 3am!

[@michianabaddriversin4690]

Please get rid of the trap beats music...have a sponsor pay for some copyrighted music if u must have music

[@NPMystikal]

Please...please....no more ball reps...

[@Envythis]

Just a warning, if you go to a Waffle House past midnight, you will probably never forget it
