If you have any picking idols post 'em here!

My Idols: Awol70, Lockpicker, 45cal and my Grandpa!

(My grandpa has been a lock smith in over 50 years!)

Awol70... nuff said.

Awol70, ToolyMcgee, KokomoLock There are others, but they have slipped my mind for the time being!

Wiz is definately one of my faves, honorable mentions go to RosinDubh37713, Bobcat5AM and jdorner. I've seen a lot of impressive stuff and a lot of really good videos, but those guys are the ones whose names stick in my mind.

Bruno, Awol, Rosindubh, Frantic,ToolyMcgee, and Sideshow Mick

xlockpick(whos no longer here) ,awol (of course),chieflittlehorse

it would almost sertanily Awol70/Rosindubh37713/sideshow mick/frantic
keep up the good work everybody...................

I was thinking today, this is a great thread, it's also a sad one of sorts, I started picking with Lp101, I got tired of all the b.s that went on there, I still go there everyday as well, but I keep my comments to myself. I learned the most from ezpicking, lots of long lost members there that taught me so so much, this site is great as well, and I don't think I could ever give credit to everyone where credit is due, everyone here in one way or another has helped me and taught me alot, all you guys are all on my picking idols list, there is no way I could ever name all of you!

Well said Kidd. In the vid links, photos, advice, tutorials, info, and entertaining material that keep the sport lively. It's inspirational. Improving alongside other members, and advising others without constant regurgitation of ideals that should be a given.

I have always considered idols, opponents. I want some healthy competition! So when are we getting this high sec thing going Head Administrator Chalmers? I'm bored as hell...

I think Mr. Chalmers has been very very busy with his work, it often seems lately that he sometimes checks in in the morning hours and sometimes very late at night. Poor guy, has to work for a living and run a damb good picking site, I feel for him, me, well I am an out of work piece of shit it seems, thanks uncle sam, I surely do love the economy these days. This has been the worst year of my life financially. Although I can't participate, I think that the high security competition would be cool to see!

Where do you start,, bobcat5am, rosindubh, wiz, xlockpick, mrblacklion1, sideshowmick, kizza8484, 61pickgun, jaydorner, jruther2, pickwizard, and lets not forget the truly awesome Redbird1983... there,s more I,m sure but the fellows mentioned are darn fine pickin' machines...

Well, where do I start!!
frantic57744, sideshowmick, bobcat5am, awol/wiz, pickwizard, 61pickgun, redbird1983, xlockpicks
There the ones that come to mind, but theres many many more!!!

all the aforementioned, kokomolock,and tooly frantic as well..( pwner of ™Yales) and way too many more to list.
over the last three years i have seen things that ,Three years ago were deemed "unpickable" or "impossible", defeated,and rendered open,by these very same people i idolize to this day.
then there's
redbird983.
one of my most valued and respected friends and mentors,a man of simply inconceivable knowledge of all types of lock,and every form of defeating systems ,ancient and new.
a marvel to watch work,an impressioning genius and a highly skilled locksmith with integrity, ,honesty and
generosity to match.
i must say i feel honored to have been taught a thing or two by him.
i look forward to the three years ahead,and to see who may be the up and coming picking
contenders.
