#1Just as long as you liked it you can call it what you want. Someone else, on Sunday, had mentioned it was funny as well. At first I was taken aback by that but watching it on video it is kind of funny looking.
Personally I call it my new weight loss solution (God knows I need it ) I was in the bag less then 3 min. and sweat pretty bad.
A number of the lock people came up and told me about how freaked out they were by it.... even Mario's daughter told me there was several time she said, "Get him out of there." Which really caught me off guard... so it must have worked.
Joe L. Don't worry about bringing up my "fall" unlike others who try to "professionally" cover for their "mistakes" I'd rather point it out and make fun of it to relieve some of the up coming tension.
I also wanted to congrat Mark Lumblad (SP?) on his champion lock picking skills winning the picking contest and for sharing his technique with me.
For those who tried learning my speed picking method 20 min. before the contest I appologize if it did not work, it is not something that can be learned in a few seconds, especially when every tool handed to me was not the proper tool for the job. However it gave me my first chance to speed pick an Abus 45/60 to demonstrate.
Though the picking of a 5 is a modification to the picking of a Masterlock 5D it does work with some practice, so start getting ready for next year, begin with the 5D using the modified pick technique and then work your way to the 5.
Take Care and thanks guys,
Shawn
