when i was 13 i stumbled across BB's channel and was fascinated with his finesse and ability to crack open any lock in front of him. I emailed him about how to get started, to which he promptly replied and gave me as much info as he could. i (against my parents wishes) gave him my address and soon was shipped a box of locks for me to tinker with. i continued to pick and play with locks until i got (somewhat) decent at it. i am now 23 years old and have just completed my interview cycle for dental school, where as a display of my manual dexterity i would bring in a lock to pick for my interviewers. every school that i was able to show this extremely niche hobby to was fascinated and granted me an acceptance to their school. just wanted to say thank you to this community for being so welcoming to pseudo-felons of all ages, and assisting me in living my dream. the greatest hobby i have ever picked up.
