'The President'

"The President" is a giant sequoia, 247 feet tall and over 3,200 years old. That means it was 1,200 years old at the time of Christ. The trunk is 27 feet across. The tree was never been photographed in ints entirety until a team of National Geographic photographers and scientists worked together to create the first photograph of the entire tree. They climbed the tree with pulleys and levers and took thousands of photos. From those they selected 126 images and stitched them together to get this portrait.

WAY cool! :2thumbs:
Someplace out here; there's a video of a monocycle getting angered-in, when the operator made a mistake... :yikes:

Thanks for both the pictures.

Love the tree and will leave the monocycle to someone more skilled than I. :thumbup:

THERE's the tree post!! I had meant to put it in a separate thread, but lost track of it! :sour:

The biggest problem I can think of with a monocycle would be a panic stop. With that much wheel, you could lock the beakes, and the 'cycle wouldn't even notice.

Wouldn't it just spin you around the rim; like being stuck in the dryer?? :yikes:

why does it have a steering wheel? How does the steering wheel work?

:agree: Amen... :shocked:

If there was ever a time for ATGATT, it would be when testing an experimental ride . . . and this guy just proved it . . .

 

[Bob Denman]
