ok. i know better. but i think this should be in the questions area, because A) it is about locks, and B) i want to know if this is faked. (this may not make sense at first, but watch the video.)

is it even possible to do what this KID does?! i mean, i know there are children prodigies all around this world, but this........

good show. somebody claim this 9yo as their own.

c'mon. fess up!

i only wish he'd say "open" when they pop, as is classic locksport tradition.

but is it REAL??!! i mean..... come on!!

if a 9 yo can bump a multi t lock on one hit, shouldnt WE all be able to do so?!

Maybe that was the real key, not a bump key?

This was posted on Barry's blog a while ago......

The one lock the kid rakes is apparently a six pin yale.

And its not a mul-t-lock, its a master dimple lock.

see his dads comments here- http://www.toool.nl/blackbag/?p=56

I can see no reason why this wouldn't be legit. Who do you think would best stand a chance to get really, really good at this hobby? A kid with nothing but time on his hands, right?

My guess is he practices regularly, has a super-supportive father that helps him along acquiring tools and locks, and he's just really into it.

If you think about it, is there anything we do that a 9 year old kid couldn't? None of this stuff takes any great physical strength, it doesn't involve any particularly complex concepts, there's no prerequisite for exceptional knowledge. Why couldn't a 9 year old do it?

I agree with db. My son is 3 and bumps locks with me right now. Granted he has not opened one yet but he knows which keys are bump keys, inserts them in the locks and whacks away at them. I'd say in the next year or so he will be opening them every once in a while.

If you DON'T post a video of your 3yo whacking away at the door with a Tomahawk, I'm .. well I'm never speaking to you again! :shock:

I'd actually guess that, assuming they have the patience, a child would be better at this than us old men. Their hands are more sensitive and smaller. Doing smaller movements is easier for them. Plus, no one ever suspects them. I'm already training my two year old that if he sees money and brings it to daddy, he gets some candy.

Wow, that's pretty cool. That kid is like 6 years old.

by **Krypos** » 9 Nov 2006 17:37

i guess the things yall say make sense. but it is jut crazy. i mean....

im sure MANY of our members (including some more advanced, experienced users) would have SERIOUS issues opening these locks.

i dunno....these things always make me crazy, as i think its just insane that some kids can do this. its justy crazy.
