When I much was much younger, I would bowl in my junior league and then come and watch bowling on Saturday afternoon. Bo and Chris will always be my favorite commentaries. Sure miss those days.
What a treasured memory! Appreciated the man who jumped in front of you before Bo rolled his last ball. Nelson Burton Jr is a remarkable guy and is still getting it done despite being near 80!
Wow! Just Wow! One of the greatest bowlers in history and still bringing it. His exhibition of power and control in the 1984 Angle Open remains today my favorite bowling tournaments of all time.
Much easier on a single lane with no traffic bowling one after the other without the oil pattern changing . Nice though. Considering Im 53 and my best game was 299 and Im getting worse not better.
@@treeman2660 what makes you think that he was only the bowling on one lane?? All that was shown was the 10th frame, ALL 10th frames are bowled on the same lane 😂😂 🤦🏾♂️
I started watching the PBA in 1979 after Mr. Burton had basically retired and had become the pro announcer paired with the great Mr. Schenkel. Mr. Burton would still try to qualify and if he made the finals would get a substitute pro to perform his announcer duties. When he made the show Mr. Burton would typically get beat, but one show he went wild and scored in the upper 200s, blowing away the four pro competitors. Today we score like that, but back then with old technology balls and wood lanes it had never happened. It really increased his bowling and announcing cred. Mr. Burton would use the same bowling phrases over and over again and present the scoring facts with a serious whispered approach in a professional style. Since Mr. Burton is both a very good bowler and announcer, it doesn't surprise me he got a 300 at age 80. I got back to back 279s last week and I'm 66.
@@squidly2112 mines a Corvette 10k. That means it needs a little work still 😂 Im getting there slow but sure. If you get the factory shocks with magnetic ride control they cost 4,400 for factory. 2000 if you go after market and thats just parts. Im opting for Gabriel for 400 screw their over priced magnetic BS that only last 50 thousand miles. That cheap ass top that's thin as a water bottle cost 1600$. Z06 wheels , the back tires are 500 a piece , ouch! List goes on. At least its paid for. And all I have is liability ins.
@@treeman2660 - That sounds awesome! .. I wish I had the car in my picture, I don't. I can't afford a $1.5 MILLION car. Would be fun to drive though, 2000hp, 300+ MPH, 0-60 in 2.3sec. Would be pretty cool but I probably couldn't afford the gas to put in it, certainly couldn't afford the oil change or tires, or just even the insurance on it. Doubt one would want only liability insurance on a $1.5 million car .. LOL I hope you are able to build out your Corvette the way you want. That would be fantastic! .. have a GREAT 2023 year !!!
@@squidly2112 Thanks, it only has 350hp. I don't think anything past 450 is safe. I got 12''s on the back. It keeps 350hp Pretty much completely under control. Im 53 now. I'v pretty much lost the urge to die in a sports car!
Bo and Chris are forever THE voice of bowling
💯
OMG I’m going to cry.
Miss those teenage Saturday afternoons in front of the old console 📺
@@williammoseley17 Good Times Sir !
150% Truth. And I Also Loved Earl" The Legend" Anthony ( RIP) and Randy Dandy Pedersn
I love Nelson Burton Jr and so happy to see him in great condition! Talk about a living legend!
Great condition he has a huge pot belly.
That is fantastic!!! Such a huge part of my Saturday's growing up. Nostalgia overload.
My Dad and I laying on the floor together watching bowling. Memories burned into my brain-
Thanks for sharing this. Bo was one my favorites growing up and it's great to see him doing well.

I also "appreciated" the dB stepping into frame before Bo rolled his last ball.
Nice game Bo. Glad you posted it definitely a legend. Enjoyed his commentating for years. Glad he’s still bowling
Wow! Thanks for posting this! Bo and Chris are the voices of my youth

A 300 game at 80 years old???
That is beyond remarkable. What a legend

Winning never gets old
Bo knows bowling 🎳 Chris Shankle is smiling down saying "way to go Bo"
Jim Long, perfect form. Nelson never hooked it so much. Congrats.
Mr. Burton, Congrats on a beautiful Perfecto, and you still have a great Game.☝️👍

Have you ever adventured past house shot?
He made a telecast in 1992 that was fun to see
Still has that smooth, simple delivery and still playing the track, as constant as a Swiss watch. We love to see it.
No fuss, no fanfare, just stroke it right into the pocket. Awesome!
Bo knows how to score more 🎳
Brainbox walks straight in front of the camera..!!
Yeah….a real idiot
Good to know he's still out on the lanes!
That's what you call a legend 😊
Just the motivation I needed! 💪
That’s awesome, great post.
I love that jackass walking in the frame on the last shot. Real classy
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!
His ball doesn't even look that different than how he threw it in the 80s!
Bo is a great guy! Awesome game! Wish you were still commenting the PBA!!
That guy who cut in front at the end is a fuckin dork. Great video dude!
Actual bowling (with thumb) can be done for just about ever.
Way to go Nelson from an old friend from Streamwood Illinois bowling alley
Im from the Home of Wess Mellott Austin Tx.
Man still got it
AWESOME!!!! .. Congratulations!!! .. that is fantastic!

Boom 🎳 Nelson's still got it!
What a quality 10th frame Chris!!!
cool thanks for sharing
All that was missing was Chris Schenkel to call it.
Is this in Stuart Florida? I used to bowl there all the time in early 2000. Great people
Bo still throws 16 pound balls, often uses the Storm Virtual Gravity.
That is inspiring! I've been on hiatus for a while, but I'm looking to get back out there again!
Heck yeah. Still use bo Burton tips of the week
everybody got in the freaking way at the end ugh 😑
It came up when I searched bo burton
Him still got it!
Cool 😎
What type and what weight ball used here, thanks
Some arm swings stay straight forever
Talent and good form lasts forever, imagine a 2 handed GOOF trying this and 70 or 80 😂
Whoppiieeeeee
Hope I can still bowl when I'm his age. God willing
Bo could still do bowling tips today!!
Bo is 80 now. Is that cool or what? He called a few 300s on ABC television.
He was wearing shorts so it will not count
😆😆
How many 300 games does Nelson Burton Jr. have?
I'm sure he has at least a dozen or two between the pro tour and league play.
Still wears a Linds shoe on his right foot!
Why does it always have to be that one asshole that has to walk in front of everybody else with a phone or a camera?
He thinks he is the only one watching Bo shoot for a 300.
Ass hole says it all!
It's called the "All About Me" society......nobody else matters!
Weird... the guy bowling looks nothing like Nelson Burton junior.
Still with that adorable boyish smile and skillzzz.🎳
AT 80! 👍
Once again proof of what a joke bowling has become.....how many 300s did he shoot back in the day when bowling actually required skill?
Happy for Bo, but the video sucked...couldn't see the last two strikes.
Just like any other day at the office...🎳
No traffic single lane repetitive bowling increases your chances of a 300 by about 30%
Just saying. Nice job though! 🎳
You do realize it was the 10th frame right?
@@gordontomaszewski1420 I stand corrected. I heard the announcer wrong.
