feel sorry for the poor guy, hope Josh can recover from that and we see him on another show in the near future. you would think this show made the news for other reasons, like Belmos 300game...but no!
I would think that the first 10 feet of the lane wouldn't make toooo much of a difference (unless your a super slow bowler).. guessing they would leave it as is...
I'm surprised that he let go of the ball, I would've put it on the approach and pushed it away from the lane, just to be sure it didn't end up being a foul.
Side note, how well did he do keeping his sliding sole off the slick
