i havnt seen one on ebay but a locksmith near me has a few of them in so i may pick one up to give it a go. i know that awol70 has one so if he gets it picked i'm sure he'll get a vid on it.

Yeah, I sent one over to Awol... and just yesterday I acquired a brand new one. Abus housing, and plug and interiors all in perfect condition. Looking to pick it sometime tonight after a nap. Im tired as. Never a good idea picking while tired.

Its an awesome lock. I hope to have a vid on it soon. If i can even pick it.

Thanks everybody for the interest in my vids 8-)

BUT I cant escape the fact that I'd seen the bitting of the key before picking this. First thing i did when i got the lock home was hold the pick against the key to see if it'd clear those deep cuts. I oculdn't resist this and once done, there was no way i could purge the image of the key out of my memory. Some people wouldn't call this a genuine pick as you have some knowledge of that individual lock which gives you an advantage. Which is true.

wiz's recent bilock pick however is the undeniable real thing. As we all know Dour sent him the lock with no key. And wiz managed to pick it two days after posting the 'thank you' vid from receiving the lock. Which is AMAZING! To think that there was no video proof at all of a bilock pick to wiz doing it in two days! Worship!

Kizza, mate, dont sell yourself short. Wiz took it to the next level, no dnying it. But you were still the first to pick a Bilock on video. Its trivial and nitpicking (Funny pun) to say one was the real thing and one wasnt or whatever. You are both a part of history in our hobby/sport as far as Im concerned and Im just grateful to know you both.

The best part of all this is that you're both awesome guys in your own right. ^^;

And thanks for joining Kizza!

Thank you for that man!

Either way this is an increadibly hard lock to pick. Having said that about the key, just seeing the bitting certainly wont open the lock for you. It still took a loooooooooong time and my hands were so sore afterwards.

But doing the sidebar flip also helped me learn alot about my own technique. Because it completely changed around the binding order and i managed to get it much faster than the first time puts me in a happy place with my own opinion at least. At some point my path will cross with another bilock and i'll try my luck with no idea about the bitting at all!

BTW, anyone seen slashmoo532's video of a bilock opening?
