Plenty tall enough for the flats and enough to spin on moderately steep (~5%) downhills. More pix as soon as I see if Wav and Bruce have any pix requests.
Wooo hooo Mighty Maunakea!!! Finally, some damn pics!!!... ahhaaha... Mahlo!! great use of the dremmel tool and a fine finished product!! ... my pic request would be to set your camera on self-timer and see a pic of you with the Mauna Kea held triumphantly high overhead! .. possibly with island girls in the backround..
