Championnat des quilles - September 20th 1997

[rkarl26]

Denis, are you bowling in tournments again? I read that earlier this month you finished 4th at Saturn and your going to be on upcoming shows of "Quilles a TQS."

[rkarl26]

Lane #0!! I never seen that before. We were trying to stop by a center that still uses free fall pins. Club Quilles Verdun seems to be the only alley so far I found with them. We may also stop by 5 stars, Excellence and Du Parc. My last comment I sent posted twice because of a server problem

YOUR GOOD

[rkarl26]

Yeah, I heard that Quilles G Plus have the easiest alleys. Well have to check them out! We were also talking about stopping by Champion Lanes and Club Quilles Verdun.

Of course, 3 of my videos on here are from Champion Lanes. If i'm not mistaken, it's one of the largest bowling center in Canada. 77 lanes more or less... It's been about 10 years since I've been there but at the time, there was a lane #0!!!! And there's 10 of 12 lanes of tenpins at the end.

Yeah, I heard that Quilles G Plus have the easiest alleys. We were also talking about stopping by Champion lanes and Club Quilles Verdun. We wanna see some of the easy alleys because the alleys in Pittsburgh are all pretty tough!!

Me and my dad are going to visit Montreal this fall. Which bowling alley's do you reccomend us to stop by?

[tiger7128816]

Well that depends... I recommend you see two of them : one that is extremely easy and another that is "normal"! You'll see how incredibly high the difference between the two will be!

For a normal one, there's Salle de quilles Bellevue (on Notre-Dame St. East), or Salon Darling (on Ste-Catherine St. East). For an easy one, there's Salle de quilles Fleury (on Fleury St. East) or Salle de quilles GPlus le Forum (on St-Zotique St. East). I can give you the adresses if you'd like.

Which alleys are your favorites in Quebec??

[Wolfman12395]

Ah :D

i was also wondering though, why do some houses have strings attached to the pins while others don't? And when you had some very tough spares to try to make, how come no one ever throws the ball hard?

[Wolfman12395]

What do you think is the most popular type of bowling in Canada? :)

[tiger7128816]

Well, globally, I think that ten-pins are the most popular.

But if you look regionally, in Quebec, I think duckpins are. In Ontario, maybe 5-pins, and in the Maritimes, maybe candlepins...

Not too sure though!

[Wolfman12395]

With all the TV shows you were on, how much money can you assume you made altogether from every telecast? :D

[tiger7128816]

About 18000$.

But if you take one tournament's fee (about 100$ to enter), times 10 tournaments per year, plus practices cost, plus traveling costs... if you didn't qualify a single time during the year, it wasn't very lucrative!

Fact is, no one in duckpins is even close to earning a living with only that.

Assez crève-coeur comme défaite ça !!!

[tiger7128816]

Pas mal! Mais j'avais pas vraiment bien joué. J'avais un mauvais rhume et je n'étais pas très fluide ce jour-là.
