I look up to all of those that could see through My BS starting out.  With me just trying TOO hard to expalin every detail untill I ran my face into the mud over and over.  You definitly know who you are!

I really look up to Yamakasi, they have the mindset and work ethic and they are really about teaching.  Granted they have the whole Art du placement but seriously those guys are nice (from what I have seen) and are crazy good from all the work they have done.  *thumbs up*

ALSO, GOT TO MENTION ALL OF MY HARDCORE TXPK BUDDIES!  You inspire me everyday, thanks!

im not too much into the online community, so i can only speak from personal experience.  which means demon and ... matt whatevery his online name is, the other matt (strizz or something?) who recently hurt his ankle, ando, and im not even going to mention the others that are too well known (belle etc).

demon for his grace and training discipline
matt for his determination that "you can do it" even if he is being rediculously illogical about a move
the other matt Smiley for his raw skill, i dont think ive ever personally seen anyone move with his power and technique thrown so well together.
ando... well, duh

I look up to a few people who I have recently had a chance to practice and train with.
Cheetaur: Although I had an extremely short time with you in Denver I was inspired by you in that short amount of time.
Demon: Whenever I am afraid to try something even if its possible for me you push me to do it and after I do it I'm extremely happy.  Your dedication and practice has driven me to train.  Although you are still like the laziest person I know.

For me, I really look up to all the guys in the tribe.  Their dedication, and training time they've put in really inspired me to get out there and train constantly.

I really look up to Gear though.  All the fitness articles, the WOD, and diet tips have gotten me to work towards an entirely new level of fitness.

Well now that I'm better I still look up too the Fluid Masters Owen and Jin but also... Even though this man is not a great traceur he has more flow and is smoother than anyone I know, he can change twords his environment and always knows what to do before he does it. If he practiced Parkour like we do he would be a great traceur to be remembered. This man is the one and only Num Hyun June, the world famous break dancer and pop locker.  Cheesy Thats another great person on my list.

I'd say I look up to Gear and M. Night Shyamalan. 
Gear for the amazing amount of dedication he has and the crazy time-management skills he must possess.  Whenever I'm feeling lazy I ask myself what would Jesse do?(WWJD? haha Tongue
And M. Night for Unbreakable, what a cool movie. Shocked
