[quote]Josh Scanlan turned up to the USBC Team USA ten-pin bowling trials full of hope that he could grab a place in his international team.
But he ended up walking away from the event in Nevada with egg on his face after a catastrophic blooper that saw him throw his ball down the wrong lane.
With the pressure building in the event Scanlan lined up his final ball of the 10th frame after two consecutive strikes.
But somehow he failed to let go of the ball in time, resulting in a hooked throw that clattered off the guttering of the adjacent lane before ricocheting back into the middle - and knocking down every pin for a strike!
Sadly, the strike did not count towards his score - and the Illinois bowler was left to rue his missed chance at international glory.[/quote]

It's from 50 seconds in.
I bet he feels like a right pin-head.
"Totally intentional."
I love how he goes straight from embarrassment to victory gestures in one fluid movement, just taking it in stride.

Too bad the ball didn't fly to the right. It would be a double-pun.
Sucks that it didn't count.
:monocle:
Every time I play bowling I try to get those kind of shots.
I suck at bowling.
