History Main / RampJump

** Akira shows a ChekhovsSkill of being able to make superb jumps with that bike. Reina and Togami marvel at how he’s able to jump and land perfectly on top of his APC. This pays off, when completely without any assistance, he jumps into the air while being shot at bye missiles, to jump on to an assault aircraft pursuing him to attack it [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange at point blank range.]]

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' -- a Honda Accord, leaping over a pile of cars with a tow-truck's loading bed as a ramp. A gorilla was driving. It all makes perfect sense in context. There were also zombies.

** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p29/ Man... is only separated from heaven by that which he will not ramp.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-21/ a trike feminist jumps a hell pit]], to {{Satan}}'s annoyance.
* ''Webcomic/KarateBears'' like to [[http://www.karatebears.com/2012/03/red-white-and-bearz.html jump their van off ramps.]] Also [[http://www.karatebears.com/2011/07/big-jumps.html bicycles.]]

* Two cases of ramp jumps demonstrating how badly it screws up cars include ''Film/GoneInSixtySeconds2000'' (where the car just barely limps in) and ''RoadTrip'', where the car doesn't survive the landing. IIRC, the shocks go through the hood of the car.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'' has the titular character jump over a missing piece of track over a cliff in the special ''The Great Discovery''. The scene has been [[http://turbojuk.deviantart.com/art/The-Great-Discovery-81277551 lampooned]] for its lack of realism (though the show has been lacking this for a ''long'' time).

* ''Literature/ChooChoo1937'': When Choo Choo, after running away, comes to the drawbridge, it's been raised to let a couple of boats through. She speeds up the bridge and jumps it, just making it across. She loses her tender in the process, and Jim, Oley, and Archibald find it in the barge that the boat was hauling.

* As does Creator/JohnWayne in the 1975 movie ''Film/{{Brannigan}}'' during a CarChase.

* As does the movie ''Brannigan''.

* Straight Cougar's alter car in ''Anime/SCryed'' has special spring jumpers for this too, though I can't remember it jumping over anything extremely impressive at the moment.

* Another example (or rather two) with cars is from one of the short English-made comics with TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles. The turtles in their van are hunting a foot soldier in a cab. The cab first flees though a busy intersection, but lucky enough for the turtles, there wis a ramp at hand, so they can jump over the traffic. Shortly afterwards, the cab escapes over a bridge, which is opening right after. But that of course doesn't stop the turtles, who again jump over with the van.

* ''VideoGame/{{Driver}}''

* ''Videogame/PlanetSide 2'' has many natural ramps for the [[BigBadassRig Sunderer]], Flash [[CoolBike quadbike]], and [[CoolCar Harasser]] to take. The Harasser and Flash are capable of rolling mid-air, but tend to uncontrollably nosedive in prolonged flight, while the Sunderer just kinda flops and rolls over before exploding. Vehicles are capable of surviving surprisingly long falls, but they will outright explode if they hit something while moving too fast. The Flash has a unique type of NitroBoost that effectively acts like a rocket, allowing it to alter its trajectory mid-flight.

** In ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', there's a car jump to escape some pursuing Czech guards, some of whom try and fail to emulate the jump in order to follow him.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Driver}} 2'', you have to jump your car onto a boat on at least two occasions. In the "Caine's Compound" mission, you jump a drawbridge at the end.
** ''Driver: San Francisco'' has car transporters that can be used as a mobile ramp. One early mission has Tanner doing just that.

* The ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare2'' mission "Cliffhanger" has you jump a snowmobile across a 100+ foot crevasse at the end.

* A lot of the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' games designate a number of Unique Stunt Jumps, which are particularly impressive jumps of this kind, for players to find and complete.
* ''VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush''. Jumps, flips, spins, rolls! I miss that series.

* Subverted in ''Film/DeathRace2000''. A couple of thrill-seeking spectators build a ramp jump on the road which they then hide behind, only to have the racer come up from the opposite direction and [[TooDumbToLive run them over]].

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': The WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "mile" is a [[StylisticSuck Powered-by-The-Cheat cartoon]] that features Strong Bad doing cartwheels for a mile. At one point he goes over a ramp and jumps nineteen buses ("A NEW RECORD!").

->''" So one afternoon, he set out to jump ten milk trucks. He nailed the take-off, but when he landed, something terrible happened. His front tire exploded like a cannonball, and his handle bars went straight through his head. Blood was everywhere. His teeth were ground down to a powder, and the front of his face exploded out the back of his skull. He died instantly... the next day."''

* In Terry Pratchett's ''Discworld/{{Thud}}'', a "boy racer" Ankh-Morpork coach driver gets a rush of blood to the head and attempts to pull off this feat - in a horse-drawn coach. He is dissuaded by Sam Vimes.

* The high-speed finale of ''Ride/FastAndFuriousSupercharged'' at Ride/UniversalStudios ends with both the protagonists and the riders going over a ramp, sending them crashing down into a warehouse, miraculously unharmed.

** Which would be impossible for an unmodified bus even with a ramp, as shown on ''Series/MythBusters''. YouFailPhysicsForever indeed.

* The good guys in ''Der Clown – Payday'' pull a ''Film/GoneInSixtySeconds1974''-style RampJump over a RoadBlock of police cars. In [[SloMoBigAir slow motion]], of course. In contrast to most other movies, including ''Gone in 60 Seconds'', their car does a corkscrew in mid-air. In contrast to most cars flying corkscrews, it still runs afterwards! The ramp, by the way, is a piece of helicopter scrap that [[YouFailPhysicsForever doesn't budge when a minivan races over it]].

* In ''VideoGame/LastScenario'', this was used to [[spoiler:''launch an amphibious boat over an airship'' so the heroes could jump onto said airship]]. Yes, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome it was awesome]].
