Knievel Kerman's next jump - Fighter Backflip or Dres Kanyon?

[glen.mack]

Knievel is racking up the jumps, but I want some help deciding on what happens in the next one -

Backflip over a Fighter Plane in Flight - OR - Leaping the massive Kanyon south of the equator on Dres. (Or do you have a better suggestion?)

Here's some visual History if you're not familiar with Knievel Kerman and his past jumps.

Please take some time to vote and comment here or on the channel, I love hearing what people think!

Ah it's you. I voted for fighter backflip. Your videos are good, but sometimes I feel like its 20 seconds made into 2 minutes just by the over-excessive cinetmaticy scenes.

Particuarily the "Backflip for style"

Good luck on a MOVING fighter plane.... I dare you to do it without using Kerbtrails or whatever its called

I feel like the fighter plane idea would require far too much work for something that wouldn't be as cool as the Dres jump.

[Voculus]

It's not even a question! Dres Kanyon!

Oh no. I'd be jumping from a ramp, to a ramp. And the Kanyon is 4.2km wide. It's probably the harder of the two.

[Steambirds]

Jump the Kanyon! Oh by the way, sick ramps.

I remember Dres canyon, my lander smashed to pieces there. 4.2 km dosen't sound too hard, TBH, with a rocket bike, landing though would be harder

So much this.

Dres doesn't have an atmosphere, so no parachutes. Now I want to send a rocket bike over there to try to attempt the jump (somewhat harder due to 6.4x kerbol, which upscales everything, by, well, 6.4x. I think it also upscales terrain, so the canyon would be Really Bigtm

I imagine you could jump over it, then turn, burn retro, and still land nicely. The bike would probably have to have some serious SAS or RCS modules, but it'd be even harder to accomplish, and 10x more impressive (hint hint) if you did it just with the gimbal on the engines.

I was inspired by TV programs that I saw as a kid, where they would be stunt jumps at the end. Maybe 5 seconds of action. (that got repeated about 20 times from different angles) The programs were an hour long sometimes. lol I guess I'm indulging my nostalgia.

[Belphegor]

voted for dres canyon. nice stunts, i saw them being posted here a few times but it never get's old watching them

[r4pt0r]

land the motorcycle in the plane? big open cargo bay on top?

Again, from the Why Not Both department: Jump the Dres canyon and pass close over a spaceplane shooting through it. Timing will be everything.

That sounds excessively hard to do, not to mention impractical and likely laggy.

So I automatically vote for this!

[LABHOUSE]

Do the dress canyon but be sure to park him back at a base (truckstop like thing)

[Steambirds]

I want to see you barrel roll a car! No rocket power either, just like some insane individuals do at dirt tracks and stuff.

I like it, also it show off the design and trajectory better.

And yes the dress jump would be insane, as other say no parachutes so landing would be the main problem.

[problemecium]

He should leap over a fighter that's doing a backflip.
