Man, do I miss playing Jai-Alai. We used to be able to rent courtime in Orlando when Iived there and played in a summer league. Nothing like it. Great game to play. Wish we had it down here in SW Florida but Tampa closed many years ago so now it's Dania on a long weekend for me, just to watch it now.

[skodiakman]

Ahhhh shit I can remember going to Tampa Jai Alai when they had it here went with my dad every Friday night I was a little kid haha

[generalbullmoose]

Too bad that state lotteries have all but killed Jai Alai in the U.S. I don't gamble, but I love watching it. Some of these guys look nothing like athletes, but their agility is utterly incredible!

[KJT922010T]

Jai-Alai has been in Fort Pierce since the early 80s

[sharpstown08]

i cant find that vid where they play "dodgeball jai alai" with a grapfruit and some guy gets hurt really bad

[StudioSixtySix]

thats an episode of jackass, if you wanna find it you could probably just put in jackass jai alai and youll find it

[fortresstiff]

@Mushafugga

hi! do u know if people can play frontenis on these courts??

[sweebadadeebada]

Does anyone make a jai alai video game?

[Nabisco76]

the game would be so fast that nobody would be good at it

[FilmSphereFilms]

They made a couple Jai-Alai video games, but they're kinda old. I'm not sure, but I think the newest one is for the commodore 64, and the oldest one is for the Telstar Colortron. The Colortron game is almost identical to Pong, except You hit the ball against the wall, and the 2 lines that hit the ball are both on the right side of the screen. They should look into making a new Jai-Alai video game, I would definitely buy it.

My dad was PR director of the Ft. Pierce Jai Alai fronton from the late '70's through the 80's. I spent many hours there as a kid hanging out with him at work (during the day, when there was no games going on, of course). This clip brings back a lot of memories; many thanks.

[Euskadi1983]

i love this sport too its in my blood i have some clips of my father n uncle wen they used to play ima post em soon.

[moonlitphantasm]

Thanks for posting this. I moved to Long Beach CA (am back home in SC now) my girlfriend and I would go down to Tijuana all the time and catch the Jai Alai games. I remember seeing the game for the first time on Miami Vice when I was growing up and had always wanted to see it for myself. What a rush!

[Mushafugga]

Man, I've always watched this game. Since I was aroung 7 or 8. My mom and dad always brought me with them on Wendsdays and Fridays. No problem for posting this. When the season starts back up, I'll try and get some more videos. One time I was in the front row and I had just turned my camera off and one of the guys slammed into the fence infront of me. Scared the crap out of me. lol

[BlackOctane955]

lol

[BlackOctane955]

Yea, im done playin that shit.

You should go to a sportstore and buy like a tenis bal and put something in it so it has some weight.

im more of the skater. :P

[Mushafugga]

We have Tennis balls.. I just never thought of using them. lol

[BlackOctane955]

omfg, the first time i played i fucking broke my damn wrist

[Mushafugga]

No shit, man? Ahaha. I've got a few cesta's around my house, but no pelota's, so we usually just play with golf balls or anything round.. lmao.

[nautilusmc1976]

pelota is fantastic

[Mushafugga]

Man I love Jai-Alai.
