Eric Bristow 9 Dart Demo

[@kimhill5553]

Eric Bristow I watched as a kid winning most things but most of all his sense of humour was outstanding He could see the funny side even when he was behind in a game Always remembered as one of the greats ......R.I.P

[@robfosters]

You get the feeling some creative editing went on here.

[@crazydudewithmentalhealthd7223]

No shit

[@lukeboycott7953]

Brains of britian you arent ya

[@Mitjitsu]

Personally I would have thrown T2O, T19, Bull and left the rest to the editing crew ;-)

[@danielhornby5581]

Absolutely, the replay of the first shows the dart with the missing flight landed in the single 20 bed!

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@danielhornby5581 0:36 No it doesn't. I love the line "I dunno what all the fuss is about" with a massive smirk on him, knowing how many additional attempts they've got to trim from the VT.

[@neopromise]

The way he holds his darts is aesthetically so nice to watch

[@simonjones56]

This man was a brilliant player.fond memories RIP

[@charliebrown6850]

RIP Eric, you were an idol to me when I was a kid, even got your endorsed darts.

[@ManWalksDogs]

Yep, got mine from Argos as a kid sometime in the 80s. Years later as an adult I thought they were long since lost to time and multiple moves and my partner replaced them when she bought me a board & cabinet for our new house. Then later somehow they resurface along with an envelope stuffed full of spare flights from the 80s & 90s. I recognised them instantly from the close-ups in this clip.

[@dazuk1969]

@@ManWalksDogs Hi there, Eric used 22 gram tungsten darts....are the endorsed ones you have the same ?...just curious.

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@dazuk1969 Ahh mine are a bit Trigger's broomed now, so I couldn't give you an accurate weight, but the weights I'd noted on the chalkboard were 25g for the Bristow barrel set & 34g for the replacements - Eric's darts won 2 legs to 1 against myself!🎯📝

[@dazuk1969]

@@ManWalksDogs Well thanks for that, it's really weird as I was just watching Bristow talk about his Darts and how to choose a set that works for you...then I came across your post. Life is a funny ol thing eh. Thanks for reply.

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@dazuk1969 Yeah no prob. Seem to remember them being tungsten btw. Prob with original shafts & flights they came in @22 or at least v.close.

Apparently it took 10 darts to make this

[@milanslama5835]

All comments are so disrespectful. I bet none of you would win a leg against him.

[@barrymason9104]

milan slama I have ! But agree disrespectful comments by some

[@paulm813]

That was edited. Bristow struggles to hit even maximums at the time..he came to rileys with deller for a 16 man comp.and was knocked out 5-0 by a local player.a former shadow of himself..a great player in his day.and shame what happened..r I p still." King eric "

[@MichaelTait-c8x]

My grandad beat him

[@trevormatthews5986]

Had the pleasure of playing Eric at a charity event . . Needless to say I got a whopping but a true gent and a great sport! The original and the best. . Thanks for the memories big man!

[@IansOddInterests]

Legend...the two back to back treble bulls with John Lowe , was the best ever

[@David_Watts]

As an airman in the USAF at RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, I was fascinated with the sport of darts. And Eric was the man!! 1985-88 in the UK was the best ever! 19 years old...time of yer, kid! And this guy damn near won everything! 😆🙏

[@justbreakingballs]

Do they play darts in the USA? I've been a few times and can't seem to remember seeing a board up in any bars.

[@David_Watts]

@@justbreakingballs not so much. BUT, there are bars that are known for having darts available, but unfortunately they're usually plastic darts.

[@Phuc_Yhou]

@David_Watts I worked on the houses built there during that period, about the same age too, good times 🇬🇧🇺🇸✌

[@David_Watts]

@@Phuc_Yhou When I got there, I was housed in what was soon to be the old barracks, because the two big new ones for AGS and EMS were just being finished and about to open. About 2 months or so... along with the new Chow Hall. Do you remember that? Then, in 2014, I went back and they JUST about to tear THOSE buildings down, because Rock Barracks was done. Some RA soldiers at the guard shack even asked if I wanted to go and see them gir the last time!! I should've, but didn't want to impose, plus I was on a tight schedule...

[@Phuc_Yhou]

@@David_Watts we were only on the house building site doing the groundworks, foundations, drainage rods etc so didn't work on the main buildings. I made friends with one of the guards who took me to see the SR71 at Mildenhall in his time off, in return I took him to a real ale pub and the art of drinking pints and a kebab chaser 😂

[@carlaclarke6650]

rip top man who was gifted

[@insanegaming3908]

judging by the cheer at the end, it took him about 501 darts to do it

[@audioman6007]

eric bristow is a legend what made him number 1 was he was so cool under pressure, all of the other top players have had chances to win a game, ie lowe and jocky etc. he would just smile and say why didn't you go for it 😂 then one dart in his hand at a double to win the game and hit it. if there was ever a player who should of been called one dart its this man. long live king eric.

[@slenjamiah]

Kani Fuker what would make you think eric pakd jockey money to let him win sets lol

[@audioman6007]

That's because he has had dartitis since 1986, he made a brief recovery until the early 2000s when he retired. The Tayor- Bristow game you mentioned was last April, whereas this was 12 years ago.

First, I start with 180 or 177. Then, if I hit a 180, I go for a 177. If I hit 177, I go 180. Then on 144, I go T18 T18 D18.

Had a curry with him one night, Wednesday it was. RIP.

[@leoncastro1954]

is eric already have dartits in this video im just curios

[@DeadForLife94]

yeah you can tell because his throw changed, notice the slight pause before he releases? that was the only way he could continue throwing darts. look up pre dartitis his throw was much more fluent.

[@leoncastro1954]

tnx

[@benrichards399]

DeadForLife his throw now is worse than this. This throw looks more like his original!

[@DeadForLife94]

yeah hes getting worse with age though, this was bad but he will never get better

[@shamblesman]

Even then, Eric was worried about his heart. I wonder if that's what finished him off..hitting the 9 darter?
