I'm a sucker for novelty and innovation. Those who strive to realize the un, and under-explored grounds tend to catch my eye the most.
Those who come to immediately to mind would be Teku, Colin, Ryan, Pilolip, Tavo, and Santi.

If we're simply talking absolutely ridiculous levels of mastery, then it's Cyrille, and Kyle hands down.

Edit:I managed somehow to forget Dawn for the creativity department. For shame!

My original inspiration was a girl in the grade above me named Jill. All she knew how to do was butterflies and a couple of passes, but I had never seen contact juggling before, and it was amazing to watch. I quickly started copying her butterflies, using a baseball. XD

Now, I'm finally getting into a contact juggling a bit more, and I'm mature enough to take inspiration from people via youtube. Jea9 especially, because she's so awesome and fantastic with her body rolls. Not to mention she was the absolute first contact juggler anyone told me to go watch. Okotanpe, obviously, is also a huge inspiration. Him more for the performance side of it.

A bit more vague, but I also take inspiration from just watching the videos everyone posts on this site. It's nice to think that if I practice, someday I'm going to be able to do the awesome stuff you people can do. :D

That is the right attitude to have! Recently I have been achieving a lot of juggling related goals of mine, and between that and meeting up with an old juggling friend I have been remembering when I had the same kind of thoughts that you are having now. Let me tell you it is one of the most rewarding things that has ever happened to me. So go for it! I can't wait to see the stuff you will come up with. (Jea9 is one of the coolest roll models ever! super talented, super cool, super nice, and amazingly helpful when it comes to big body rolls.)

Oh, yeah...as narcissistic as it sounds right now my favorite contact juggler is me! I am the only juggler I know that gives me the time to practice, learn and play when ever I want!

Mr. Om is still my favorite to play with. His attitude makes play so fun.

There are several on my list of 'favorites' (meaning people that I'm just gonna have to juggle with at some point) but my top two would be Kyle and Cyrille, simply because they make all the insane bodyrolling look so natural. I'm nowhere close to that level but they both pull off all the stuff I love practicing. Actually, whenever I think of something new to try out and want a reference, chances are there's already video of one or both of them doing it.

Changed my mind, after getting stuck watching a lot of Teku's videos again...he just has such an original style

Teku you mother f*$#!^

I like watching Albert Tröbinger at cons...he's either very disciplined or simply mad. Also I would enjoy playing with him if I had 10 hours more practise per day for the next year or so. :-)

Also Tango, you may not know him, he's from Bamberg in Germany and really really skilled and fun to be with.

So these are my new heroes and favourites.
