To post even when you lose is admirable. Character on display, definitely the mark of a true champion.

[@edstraight846]

When you just want to scream or cry, but instead, face the camera and say a gentlemanly goodbye......You are the Man!

[@pezboy715]

Absolute heartbreak on that 8-10. My jaw didn’t leave the floor until the next game started. You’re still the GOAT, Belmo, and we’ll be rooting for you in the next one. 😊

[@christophermitchell4455]

That split cost him a minimum of $25k, possible $75k. Ouch!

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

I was definitely hurting for you. Absolutely terrible break all it needed for one to fall

[@ericw6043]

Womp womp wooooooomp!! Poor Blo-Mo!! CHOOOOOOOKED!!

[@floggerfrog]

i screamed when he left that 8-10

[@SeanyBravoLofi]

Don’t worry about it. Booker was about to win next round either way 😅

[@davidcunningham7330]

That was heartbreaking, but - I admire you for finishing out the video and posting it. That's the mark of a true champion.

[@fsu88me]

Losing is part of life/sports. How you handle it is what separates the greats from the rest. Youre a class act Belmo.

[@northwind8626]

What a blessing to wake up the next day and have the opportunity to keep grinding. Some day the fight passes us all by, so appreciate these moments even when fight doesn’t go your way, the battle continues. Happy warrior cheers to you Belmo!

[@Malcheesecake827]

I do appreciate how raw these videos are

[@natedodson6670]

You still made the show, and got the 3rd seed! That’s amazing, you threw so many great shots, you just happened to miss one, but it’s okay because you will come back and do even better next week. We’re all rooting for you Belmo

[@Onesongperweek]

Thanks for clarifying of what you said of why you didn't stop. I thought you were referring to your recognition that the ball might not hook, and you should have changed to a stronger ball...but you still proceeded to throwing it. It was an unfortunate distraction after all. Yes, that distraction was costly,. You are Belmo-the GOAT,. We know as your fans that you will have plenty more opportunities to win and reap major titles.

[@MikeMachAttackJenkin]

im not belmo but when i play open bowling i understand what he meant when something so small can affect your game.

[@josephbazarnik7878]

You did absolute well to make the show and was rooting for you. That last shot was heartbreaking and I have been there. Great work Belmo

[@8BitChad]

Great Run. Blows my mind how often you carve through these huge fields and get to the TV stepladder.

[@ravehop]

Heart of a lion❤️ he’s a deep guy and awesome person.What a run! He’s in top form! Can’t wait to see this year play out! 🎉

[@teri526]

You are a Gladiator... nasty bit that last shot. Still #1 in our eyes!! I have always admired your style. Who doesn't get twisted on a bad shot... but no tantrums. You are one of the greats. I've been bowling for 50+ years. Used to watch Roth and Anthony. You are in that league for me!!

[@rickdill1017]

I had not really bowled in over 20 years. I was watching a random youtube video one day and saw one of your videos off to the side watched it and thought how great it would be to get back into bowling. Little did I know a couple weeks later my son would ask if I wanted to go and we have been every week since. My high has been 233 this year (270 over 20 years ago was my max) but thanks to your awesome content, I am back enjoying what I used to love! We start in our local league in May. Thank You!

[@TimDocHarper]

Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. You are what we Americans call a "class act". Looking forward to your next time in the "show" and victory.

[@TrojanLuver7]

We really appreciate the quality of this content!

[@pvtsloth23_rl]

After meeting you at the belmo experience I was sure you were gonna win the masters but I was heart broken by the 8-10. You’ll get them at the World Series!

[@frankformella6834]

Tough brk belmo we as bowlers know can stop sometimes and sonetimes say just go and get away maybe easy spare or get a little lucky. But you are a pro and I know you will win more majors!!! You have a lot of talent!!! Thanks for taking time to talk about it. Even stronger on the next one!!!

[@j23p24]

amazing how one of the best of all time still takes it as a learning experience when he loses. was an amazing run, i was privileged to watch the majority of match play as my first pba attendance experience. it all was incredible to watch thank u all, and special thanks to all of u who let us into your bowling lives. did not get to meet u Jason but was one of the best experiences in my life to witness yours and the others run at the masters!! good luck next week

[@chriskoecher7883]

Great bowling, Belmo! I know the ending is never what you expect. Thanks for sharing your losses and wins with us. I appreciate the honesty. Keep making great content!

[@johnsimmons1737]

Bowling can be such a gut wrenching sport. I have had so many bad breaks at tournaments, missing by cuts by one pin, one spot so many times. Had some good moments, too, and I cherish those so much. Belmo, you are one of the greats, so don't beat yourself up so much. You are gifted and will be up there again. Keep plug and hope to see you at the TOC in Akron. Laura

[@bobbybearbowling]

Wow what can you say. Just the look on your face and still letting us in doing this You Tube video says a lot. Much respect.

[@808whitefa5]

That’s one of the most honest and raw response I’ve seen. 😢

[@paulp.879]

While I’m really sorry that it ended early for you, I also really love these videos. You give us an insider’s view of what goes on in a tournament. In my opinion you did well! And you’ve done well before, and you’ll do so again! I don’t know if I’ll ever be good enough to be in a tournament myself, but letting us be a part of your world really helps us feel like anything is possible. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. We’ll see you on the show again.

[@user-dt6hb7kb6u]

Such a Tough Break Jason. You Bowled Great and Hope to See You Next Show.👍

[@davidcrandall3099]

I learned a lot by watching you live. I watched your first game bowled and the final match-play before the TV show. Your channel helps so much to promote the PBA. I wish we had this back in the day of Dick Weber. Thank you for your autograph.

[@zackoakes6382]

PURE CLASS shown during a real gut wrenching loss.

[@DebbiMoore-gw1et]

Thank you for posting your videos, I enjoy watching them. I felt so bad for you and I admire you sharing your feelings with us. My husband and I watch every time you bowl. Shake it off and get ready for the next tournament. You are a champion and have many more wins ahead of you!

[@jayveenaredo]

Thank you for this kind of format.. we know it's hard to post something like this. We are here to support you always!!

[@sleddingforoldguys]

showed a human side which all of us bowlers know and understand its how you handled it that showed true class, chin up mate

[@bendihouse]

25:01, This is why I love Belmo and why he is my favorite bowler. Champions always feel like they have something to prove no matter the challenge. Words I live by everyday. If there was something I wanted to hear from you, it would be to answer the question of, what are the top ten reasons that truly keep the fire burning inside regardless if you win or loose. If I wanted you to do something, it would be celebrating your milestone of 100k subs and unboxing that play button. Not many bowling channels have the chance to do that

[@rjnordin]

I appreciated the simple handshake after the loss instead of a fake hug.

[@radicaledward8486]

Thanks so much for this series.

[@LesterCastor]

Thank you for Vlogging your experience through these USBC Masters. A lot of great moments, and one unlucky break. You'll get em next time! Sending good vibes from New Jersey

[@ScottG91]

100k subs in a year or 2, thats impressive for any channel none the less one about bowler. Congrats mate, best of luck at the world series.

[@ricka.wetselphdbowler3526]

Thanks for posting. Always interesting to see the emotion behind the scene with the great ones!

[@gatorbait137]

You are the goat. Win some lose some. But I love how you keep yourself together and that’s why it gets you through more.

[@lazarbryce2373]

we love you belmo

[@scottmatthews6889]

Hey Jason Belmonte! I remember about 7 years ago, I started two-handed bowling and had no idea anyone else was doing it. One day, an older gentleman walked to me and said, "You know, one of the best bowlers in the world bowls like that." After that, I found your name, and the rest is history. Thanks for paving the way and bringing life back to this sport.

[@novinnovations4026]

I remember two kids on my high school bowling team bowling 2 handed back in 2010/2011. They loved belmo. I remember it starting to catch on soon after.

[@enrique_lgnd]

Man you did great belmo tough tough tough finish but the future is bright 🫡🐐

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

I was here and got to see BEL-MO. I was the one with the Go BEL-MO sign

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

My problem is I wish everyone could win. We love you, Jason !!!!

[@willydog26]

You're still the greatest of all time!

[@101053Mike]

And it isn’t even close, 15 majors tells that story

[@MarkMoffett-zd8pr]

Truly appreciate the insight you give and the inside look you give us. Thanks for your sportsmanship even in the toughest times. Truly inspiring as I try to up my game love the focus you have but at the same time the fun you have. Keep dropping the BOOM!

[@clustellehenry4594]

I can't believe that shot left you a 8-10 split. You handled the loss like the champion you are.

[@jasonmatheson3811]

congrats on 100000 subscribers Belmo keep up the great content

[@kentinovich]

My son, who is in his final year of youth bowling, and I like to watch your videos since you will post videos about your successes as well as your disappointments and provide meaningful commentary in both situations. I always want to hear what you have to say at the end of your videos. I love the nuggets of wisdom you provide and have used them in the past when I coached youth teams. My son just made his first TV show and had a loss, but he bowled great. I can tell he wants to get back there again and that it put some hunger in his belly to do well in his future events. It also helped to create some bigger goals in his heart. I was glad to see these things since it told me he processed the loss well unto greater excellence. Crush it for the rest of the season! Congrats on the 100,000 subscribers.

[@loreleiheckman]

your son did awesome on tv!! such a huge inspiration and i’m glad he’s learning from the experience

[@Vincentwhysonoob]

Absolutely gutted for you belmo! But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! 💪💪

[@JBlanc56]

This is just the start of a crazy run, More majors to come Belmo! Use this as motivation you know what to do!

[@danielmorin55]

So sorry for that bad split Jason. Thank for the videos and better luck next time

[@richardf6932]

It would be easy for Jason to not create this clip given the heartbreak, however, we appreciate that you share with us your journey. I looked at the ladder and there were over 430 bowlers for this event. It is quite an achievement but I am sure you are a competitior and wanted more.....

[@jackluzkow3072]

Good conversation, good camera work, very engaging, and you are still the greatest. You are like family. The world is in terrible shape, so you are like refuge from all the bad news. Anyway, thank you for everything, except for the high blood pressure rooting for you.

[@ra1nman_mashups]

Tough finish Belmo but it was a great match. Great performance!

[@dawnforshy7095]

That was heartbreaking. We felt the heartbreaking along with you. We feel sooo sorry for you. You are still the best and when you come to Akron we will be there with you. Good Luck at the World Series we will be watch and rooting you on for victory. You are still the best!!!❤️❤️❤️🎳🎳🎳🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲

[@fireflydreams1791]

That ending was an absolute gut punch but you did fantastic to make the show, win your first match as the 3rd seed on tv, and you finished well so there is still a lot to be proud of. Sorry you didn't get the result you were aiming for but as a fellow bowler I know it is not always easy. Many admire you so because you make it look so effortless. Always cheering for you. You will bounce back next week. Good luck in the next event. Rest up, relax, and reboot for a new tournament. Still #1 in my book. #GOAT

[@DavidRodriguez-mp9nh]

100k subscribers is awesome! I'm grateful for your content and all you do for the sport of bowling. Many lessons are taught to us through your lens. Fall down seven, get up eight is what champions do. Looking forward to your next adventure. All the best from a fan in California.

[@teganze]

I couldn't believe it when you left the 8-10. I watched the live shows in Wisconsin a few years in a row, (you actually gave your signed phase 2 to my girlfriend) and I couldn't believe how disrespectful people were in the crowd. I'm sorry that happened.

[@Jer0da0sniper]

Belmo, you look to be in the best physical shape you’ve been in for many years. Keep it up brother from down under! We need you up there at 60 beating the kids

[@rizbowl]

Belmo you have a lot of CLASS !!!

[@shuomao7869]

The season is far from over. You'll definitely come back stronger!

[@zshadow666]

Devastating and I think you should have won, however you are a champion and will carry on. It's always a pleasure to watch you and learn for myself. Go BELMO!!

[@raymondsteadii6510]

Thanks for being open with your emotions. We all love you Belmo!

[@Rinelle]

Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers! Making the show as the number 3 Seed is incredible! That last shot really shows how bowling is a sport that humbles even the best of the best. Looking forward to the rest of your journey through the remainder of the 2024 season!

[@melissabowers6268]

Absolute class act....yes, it was heartbreak for you, but there are two sides to the coin. Everytime you have won a tournament, it has been heartbreak for someone else. Still the GOAT.

[@thebowltube]

I love watching the major shows cuz I get to watch you compete for the best shows on the tour!! Whether it’s during match plays on BowlTV or on Fox!! You’ve inspired me to compete and play this amazing sport and love every moment of it.

[@kellydavis4954]

we win and loose right along with you ,keep your spirits up and get back into your groove. we got your back

[@brianharnish]

I'm sorry about the loss, Jason. Absolute devastation at that 8-10. You'll be back. And you'll win the next one. Your videos are great with an interesting perspective on the other side of the camera. Thank you for all you do!

[@jackschabel9906]

Thanks for taking us along with you on your Masters experience. You're a real stand-up guy and I, for one, appreciate the behind-the-scenes looks at pro bowling.

[@Matt_Daniels]

You gave it your all Jason!

[@tenpinboone]

Congratulations for making the show Belmo! I know the finish wasn't what you expected or wanted. You are the best of all time to me and that's saying a lot when I can remember watching the greats like, Earl Anthony, Mark Roth, Marshall Holman, Johnny Petraglia, Steve Cook, and also the great Dick Weber. Your versatility and mental toughness is what I find to be your greatest attribute. I am a fellow bowler of 56 years and I felt that the Attention Star was to me the ball that gave you the best look all week based on watching you on your channel. I know that seeing things through a camera is a lot different than with the naked eye. With that said, if I were to win your ball give away that would be the ball that I would choose and I've never bowled with a Storm Product. I do have to admit that they definitely look good in your hands. Bye for now and good luck at the World Series. I can't wait!

[@noahwestray4747]

I hope one day I get to see this legend

[@markneubeck1768]

Just going to say the way your KZbin episodes are made camera angles, quality,and mix between bowling and your commentary it's really great js!

[@route66radioW1WMT]

Though it was a loss for now, you have always been and continue to be such an inspiration to a vast majority of the bowling community from beginner to Pro. I could only ever dream to be in the Show in my lifetime, but until then I will continue to watch one of my heroes play the game like the Master that he is. Thank you, Sir, for sharing the ups and downs with all of us. We are all still your biggest fans and always will be!

[@keithtan8636]

No one can win every tournament, but you are always a winner to us, every time we see you bowl. You are an inspiration to many!!

[@Klassified_Info]

Still one of the best bowlers I seen. One of the reasons I got into bowling.

[@keninwestpointny2278]

watching you and listening to you commentaries is refreshing and appreciated. I am a scratch bowler from the 70s when we used rubber balls and the pins weighed more. Bowling has morphed and your 2 handed approach to the game is historical. I watch youths learning. I taught my granddaughters a 2 handed approached when they were 3. You and the other stars of today are more personable and we feel more connected. good luck

[@TrendSettaRico]

I was literally lost for words watching that happen in the 10th! Great run though Belmo, get your revenge next tournament 💪🏾🐐

[@nicks786]

Keep your head up. You’re one of the greatest.

[@tylerhernandez5234]

Lets bounce back stronger this week, and sweep every tourney at the WSOB. You've got this

[@bobbyhill7321]

I saw the result before I got to watch the telecast. It was still heartbreaking to see knowing the result. You're still the best in the world, you'll get'em next week!

[@tyler_mcginnis27]

It was a good run. I was watching the show during my bowling tournament and when that 8-10 split happened the whole alley Jaws dropped. A lot of bowlers in the tournament even stopped bowling. It was still a very good run belmo and you are still the greatest bowler I have ever seen.

[@travislambert9273]

Class all the way. GOAT!

[@RobBeilfus]

Always cheering for you!

[@TemptedTrigger]

You still killed it this week. Love the videos please keep them coming you got the next one easy

[@bobbymoore8564]

You always stay so positive. It shows that your attitude makes a huge difference in your performance. It is about the mental game just as much as the physical game.

[@gwencrawford737]

This is important for young bowlers to see. A good example of how to take adversity with poise and grace. Fox Sports needs to review this footage too. They need to get their microphone off the lane bed. It sounds ridiculous when the ball rolls down the lane with a rumble, when any bowler knows what it SHOULD sound like. ;) Nice performance Jason! That's a tough show to even make, and you did it! There's still some more titles out there for you!

[@MikeSmith-sz3vh]

The way he put his head down , closed his eyes and gathered his thoughts , then congratulated his opponent shows complete character and professionalism.

[@CamTate]

Tough way to go out but your a true champion. Keep your head up!

[@paulmarjoram2258]

A game of many variables and an infinite number of ways those pins can react. Heads up Jason and on to the next. That’s what makes you the GOAT you are.

[@user-ow3sz3dm1z]

❤ 3rd for BELMONTE in 2024 Masters tournament is STILL VERY IMPRESSIVE ENCOURAGING SIGN for FUTURE very difficult tournament WINNINGS. I had watch the episodes. GOOD LUCK !!! ALWAYS 🥰

[@DAWNKibbe-so2td]

I was rooting for you and sorry for such a nail biting ending. You are such an inspiration to me. Such an uplifting person who I admire. God Bless you

[@bobbytang9924]

Great to be able to see a different perspective of how it looks like in the show compared to televised.

[@sammaze2103]

Your heart break in the finals of the 2024 Masters was easy to see! I have watched your entire career from the time you came to the US! You have immense talent for the sport of bowling and this is a small bump in the road! Good Luck next week and I’ll be watching and rooting for you !

[@polaricebear80]

Sorry about the loss. You're still the GOAT.

[@danielbienvenue2529]

Keep your head up Jason. There's a reason why your the best bowler in the world. Give you all the energy to stay positive and get to the next showing. You are still the GOAT!!!!

[@kloofyroland]

Awwman, sorry to hear how this happened on that last shot. That slight sound of something dropping is enough to break one's concentration. I remember that happening to me once and I didn't stop either costing my team a win in league, ugh... Good luck next week Jason! :)

[@billyeaston6134]

2 days later I'm still heart broken for you. Love the videos and your journey to the 3rd seed. Although bowling is a very skillful game and your one of the best to ever do it. Sometimes just a little bit of luck can go a long way, or you simply run out of luck when you need it..... However, when life gets tough, the tough get going. Lets focus on the WSOB!!!!!

[@simonwong4822]

Always my favourite watching belmo. Look forward to seeing you winning the 16th major!!

[@davesgoldantiquesloan]

Tough decisions always test our fortitude. Always a pleasure to go on this journey with you. Dave

[@Steve_Edberg]

I won't lie, I was rooting for Dombrowski in that game and had Belmo won I would have rooted for Booker against him too. I live Belmo but really wanted to see Dombrowski at 45 with 20 years on the tour finally get his first win. Good tourney Jason. Sorry it didn't work out this time but it was nice to see a couple unknowns get to shine. Good luck going forward!!
