That is too bad. It seems like high gravity and no atmosphere are good for the speed goals. But when you said this it made me think. Wow. What if I could jump from Minmus to Kerbin? That would be a record, and if the gravity is low enough then maybe I could escape orbit and simply fall to Kerbin. I think I'd need to make a spiral or helical spring shaped ramp or make a circular hamster wheel style ramp that can somehow eject me at a high speed. Something like a subatomic particle accelerator for smashing atoms. But if I'm going to build something like that then it would not have to be on Minmus. I could build it in space orbiting the Sun. And it might be able to launch me to any planet I was aiming to hit. I don't know. It is fun to think about. I bet I need to build it on Minmus to hold the ramp and so the bike doesn't move the ramp.

Thank you. Very good. I will do that. There are ramps to try on that site! And holy smokes. There is a ring of fire.

I think it would be fun for an optional and somewhat monster truck event style game play where the planets can be used to "break records" and perform tricks.

There are alot more questions I am thinking about because I enjoy this idea as a way to play the game. The true life Evel Kneivel was a iconic character in his time, so I am researching him as well to maybe match his outrageousness and bigger than life style. I wasn't even thinking to jump and land on top of the V.A.B. I was just curious what a jump would look like. I hit the lamp post in flight and that thing wrecked my vehicle in spectacular form. It was GREAT! I believe the best way to jump is using an external command seat. This is because sometimes Kerbals are knocked out of the seats. They are projected way in front of the vehicle. Sometimes they explode on impact. Exploding Kerbals will register on my seismometers I have placed to collect science in different biomes. That's fun, too. I think external command seats are the way to go because it is spectacular to watch the crashes happen. And maybe I can hit the bracket key in time to focus the view on the flying Kerbal. Is there a non-mod way I can change the pilot's name to the stunt character's name? I believe I can make my own custom flag for cosmetic attentions. That will help the obnoxious red, white and blue decorations I'd like to use. Can I have more than one flag in use at one time? Probably not. But I wonder if focusing the spotlights and selecting the colors onto the stationary flag part will create the variety of color patterns I would like to use. The suggestion to use the runway for experimenting with ramp designs is a good one. And I am wondering what can be the Kerbin equivalent of jumping through a ring of fire with the Kerbal tools we have available for us to be used in place of the ring of fire. Strut connectors give us an explosion when they are broken. I will also think of finding a way to lay struts on the ground for the entire length in the runway. In theory, running over the struts will break them and cause an explosion that doesn't affect the accelerating vehicle. I want to try to use those as trip wires that are evenly spaced for audio effect that pronounce the acceleration of the vehicle from the fully rested full stop to the end of travel where the vehicle hits the ramp at top speed. And my dumbest question. I'm using common sense to think the answer must be "No." But has anybody ever seen a design for a two wheeled vehicle that approaches being a bike or a motorcycle? I think Kaptain Keval Kneival must use a motorcycle if that is something that exists.

These suggestions are exactly what I need to hear. Thank you guys for joining my conversation!

Hello to my Greatest Fans in the World! I am designing and constructing ramps that will help me reach high speeds to perform my insanely dangerous, death defying and fan thrilling jumps. However, these ramps seem very easy to explode when I enter onto them at high speeds. I will keep trying. It may still be possible to reach high elevations of flight even with the ramp exploding as I am jumping it. We will see. But the ramp constructions may prove to never work. As an alternative plan, I am seeking natural features on Kerbin that can be jumped. And as I speed across the continents exploring to find such any perfect sites for record breaking jumps, my vehicle is continuously improved to survive high speed ground travel. Please help me to identify and find any natural locations on Kerbin that would be great for a record breaking jump. I will not use any mods in the game but I will use the available updates. Features on other planets are also interesting suggestions.
