Hey everyone! Welcome to another video and today we're back in Zeepkist for more themed track builds! This episode the track theme is "THERE AND BACK" and honestly there is only one thing that I could think of when I started brainstorming track ideas...The Hobbit! So, I decided to build a track between the Shire and Mordor that you have to race on THERE...and get this...ALSO BACK! xD It ended up being a bit of a technical track but I think it was an overall success! As always let us know in the comments below who built the best "THERE AND BACK" track and I hope you enjoyed watching this as much as we enjoyed playing it!
Thanks for watching the video! If you enjoyed it, make sure to like it, share it with your friends and give me your feedback in the comments below!

[@bitblock3372]

One does not simply walk into Mordor… you need to take a soap box car.

[@darealkosmo]

🤣🤣👏

[@Warcans]

Oh my, with lower quality settings the 2nd booster was hidden under grass due to LOD. Took a while to realize it was there :'D Sadly the saw blades proved to be very hard terrain to cross for my hobbit skills :D

[@darealkosmo]

hahaha, little hobbit legs couldn't move fast enough I guess xD

[@greybeard5123]

There And Back Again is The Hobbit. Bilbo's trip with Thorin to the dwarven realm of Erebor where they defeated a dragon. So being under a mountain instead of a volcano is correct.

[@darealkosmo]

I gotta admit I stirred up a mix of the lores...but I think we can safely say my version will still be better than Amazon's 😄

[@blueviking5491]

I'm so scared it's gonna be awful 😖

[@Sordyr]

I really think you should add more checkpoints even if they are technically not needed to stop any shortcuts. It’s just helpful to know if you’re in the green or should just abandon the run

[@jaskrolor]

that doesn't work on that track because it would only be for going there... they wouldn't work on the way back.

[@hi-wf9ql]

@@jaskrolor they mean in general

[@TeemoQuinton]

For a frack like this that wouldnt work, in general its ok. You really shouldnt have like 5-6 checkpoints in a 40 or so second track MOST of the time. Very few exceptions

[@Gpz0]

16:59 This would have been a perfect time to say "You shall not pass!" lol

[@Zandirian]

I think this was my favorite track from the theme this week! Super well designed and beautiful aesthetically, fun track :)

[@darealkosmo]

Thanks :D

[@serpentinious7745]

Should remove the top of the pipe near the saws and add giant spider looking down from the gap. Then if you hit a saw it means you were caught by Shelob.

[@ResistanceLion]

Awesome track aesthetics, one idea: make finish look like a hobbit's house

[@michaelelmore1678]

Imagine if this game had the option for collision. It would be a fun challenge especially in this course.

[@R0nanC]

Dang I was quoting LOTR the entire race, but chat was hidden. Guess I was a fool of a Took 😅

[@dshadows2966]

There are many factors stopping the eagles from flying into Mordor. 1. Poisoned Skies above Mordor. (Imagine volcanic clouds not being poisonous, the poisonous clouds immediately clear out when the ring is destroyed. The entire region of Mordor is covered from anything coming at it from above and was quite literally shrouded entirely in darkness.) 2. Eye of Sauron. (Immediate death sentence should it see them.) 3. Mordor was prepared for it what with all the ballista they have. (The entire mountain was lined with defenses to stop such a thing.) 4. The eagles would have to get close to the ground to drop the heroes off safely, they'd be killed under a ton of bow fire before they could do so safely. (The chances of the heroes falling and dying would have been high. There's also the possibility of the heroes getting shot outright.) 5. The eagles work for someone and aside from possibly owing Gandalf a few favors, they are not suicidal and are meant to be mostly watchers. They leave middle earth after the events of the final rings destruction. 6. Nazgul and Fellbeast would have intercepted them if they weren't dealt with. 7. Giant Eagles are not immune to magic, arrows and or other forms of damage. The war with Smaug decimated them by quite a fair bit. Most of the Lord of the Rings is entirely built around disabling the numerous defenses and drawing tons of attention away from the hobbits actively entering the 'Death Zone' on foot.

[@serpentinious7745]

"The ring has thrown me into the lava" 🤣

[@ph0enjx]

Hobbit / Lord of the Rings theme makes this my favourite track yet Also the hobbit holes turned out great!

[@wee11234]

There and back again is bilbos journey. When Frodo writes his story he calls it the lord of he rings.

[@ph0enjx]

@@wee11234 The title on the cover of the book is “There and bag again by Bilbo Baggins, added to by Frodo Baggins”, Frodos section is called Lord of The Rings however the book as a whole is called There and Back Again. Also no matter what the small details about the book, Kosmo added Mordor which isn’t in the Hobbit xD

[@thepaleone2369]

My new life motto --> 11:07 "You gotta take in on the inside quite a bit"

[@Susul-lj2wm]

It'd've been epic to have a few more details, considering how long the whole journey actually was. I kinda thought we were gonna see the spider after you went up that hill. Epic track nevertheless. Reminded me more of Bilbos journey than Frodos

[@thatmadengineer_5552]

Imagine a track where you can go into a sort of free roam area to find digits of a code and then, on a different run, go forward through pipes labeled with numbers to input the code you found

[@thirstysnail2152]

I have only watched 7 minutes of the video and it is a great layout, theme, story. Well better get back to the rest of the video. Keep it up kosmo

[@CrippleX89]

This is such a cool track! I love how you drop the ring into the lava, so well made!

[@darealkosmo]

Thanks :D

[@FUGP72]

This is something I don't think they use enough. The boosters that only cover part of the track, so you have to make sure you get on the right spot of the road to get on them.

[@Xmar4]

Watching the build montage and realizing what you were building... Dude that's brilliant!

[@AnarchistPanda161]

One does not simply ride a Zeepkist into Mordor.

[@alldayhyperdude6441]

Very nice and thematic track! Well done

[@darthquietus1783]

Loved the music in today's build montage!

[@Petq011]

Honestly, Photomode should be disabled for the first 1 or 2 minutes of a loby so everyone gets to try the map without having seen what they shouldn't have. Someone should probably suggest that to the dev... Either make it disabled for a certain period of time at the start of the lobby, or disabled until someone finishes the map once, or passes through a checkpoint... or even a special checkpoint that enables it for everyone. It's kinda annoying how every time everyone goes straight to photomode instead of doing the track.

[@darealkosmo]

I agree! We actually discussed this off camera...photo mode shouldn't be available until you've set a time OR after a time limit like you said, whichever happens first.

[@Petq011]

@@darealkosmo Yeah, that makes sense. Although, I'm not really sure how easy or hard that would be to implement.

[@Petq011]

@@darealkosmo I also added that part with the checkpoint unlocking it because some map creators may not mind that and want to allow it right away, so they will just put it right after the start so it gets unlocked immediately, but yeah.

[@LordDragox412]

@@Petq011 Yeah, it should just be an option. I create maps in which I prefer people spending more time in Photo-mode than actually playing the map as I've spent more time making the environment pretty with lots of things to look at rather than the track itself >:P

[@Petq011]

@@LordDragox412 Yeah, exactly. 😅🤣

[@Tippakannu]

Kosmo: Don't take the grass on the way back, cos it messes u up. Me: Oh i will take the grass on my way everywhere

[@MrHandros]

LOve it!! you could add spiders before the entrance to Mordor !!!

[@ianjoel9341]

"The axis came out of nowhere" yup , they sure did XD XD

[@GummieI]

Beside the 1st person in the volcanic supposedly being needed to ease the difficulty, I feel like it probably also gives a more dramatic effect :)

[@DaysofKnight]

Interesting theme this time around, great video from everyone, though

[@creepymike9]

Yours is the 1st that I watched of the 4 of U. 👍 That was Awesome • ~~🙂♾😎

[@creepymike9]

O-yah Like 580 👍 • ~~🙂♾😎

[@OmegaDoesThings]

> no sunflowers in LotR Honestly I thought it was supposed to represent that scene where Sam goes "This is the furthest from the Shire I've ever been, Master Frodo" and wasn't gonna question it at all lol

[@Tylurn]

In The Lord of the Rings's world There and back again is a book that Bilbo writes about his journey to defeat Smog. Sens there were still blank pages after he finished his story Frodo wrote his advancer in it as well.

[@alexfruci5349]

You guys should do a build where you each build a section and then it has a big jump into a different section that the next guy makes but its all one track

[@Novabeagle]

A really cool track idea could be an F1 track so it’s fast and has some tricky sharp turns and shicanes to try and maneuver around

[@michaelklog]

oh my god the song... does it say "only tacobell, only taco bell" over and over XD

[@ScottaHemi440]

so you can't walk, but you can soapbox derby xD

[@Novabeagle]

Really cool track. Lord of the rings is such a good theme to make a track with

[@Marhathor]

I mean, they could have just flown on the backs of the great eagles, but sure, soap boxes will work.

[@tickytickytango5634]

"There and Back Again, A Hobbit's Tale" by Bilbo Baggins is supposed to be Bilbo's telling of "The Hobbit," not "The Lord of the Rings."

[@steeljawX]

"The road goes ever on and on.-", "-and on, and on, and on! Strangers, wait'n!!!" Sorry, I got carried away there. You know LOTR is a Journey. Journey is a band. They sang "Don't Stop Believing". Everyone believed in Frodo. . . . AKA "Don't Stop Believing" is probably the entire LOTR saga wrapped up into a 3 minute song. ~Conspiracies!!!~

[@-zsh]

ahhh... nostalgic music

[@diedampfbrasse98]

but but but ... why not fly back the entire way? u know, fin eagles

[@DrGzhero]

Yours was definitely the coolest for this one.

[@loganmcgrath3724]

Food track would be cool

[@troyplayzgames]

the "hahaha" was scary

[@awsomeatron]

You should make painful tracks

[@snelake]

I think your understand of LOTR is less than you think. There and Back Again is Bilbo’s name for The Hobbit.

[@LordDragox412]

Ah, I never knew Smoldor was a vol-cave-no >:P

[@acesupreme6452]

I never got hit by the saw blades once :D

[@gavinkaufman3274]

[@Nineninetails]

One does not simply drive into Mordor.

[@literateamateur5744]

Clearly the sunflowers are from Larry Niven’s Ringworld.

[@tehrankizaki9627]

freakin niven rings

[@sailakkamaneni9050]

hobbit was the mountain and the dragon and the dwarves you were thinking about the lord of the rings. so you were actually right about the "closed volcano".

[@adorbstotesadorbs.9371]

Amazing!

[@andrewcook6365]

They should really add teleporters to the game

[@will_iam_haker606]

there and back again was the hobbit with the lonely mountain not lord of the rings with mount doom

[@Spwilson18]

The shire lord of the rings lol once I seen how the rocks looked like hobbit hole I started to think the shire, then when you named it there and back again that's when my guess was confirmed

[@sonnybean5314]

What's with Kosmo and mines?

[@moebius1881]

Ehy Kosmo, ehy! Ehy Kosmo! EHY! EHY Kosmo! (I did it with kan too) Ok. Ill'stop. What do you think of making a READY PLAYER ONE racing track replika?

[@vuurkoning]

I miss the others their perspective of learning this track as u already know it.

[@absolutejosh3019]

sheeeesh

[@blackoak4978]

There and Back Again is just The Hobbit on it's own, not The Lord of the Rings

[@camothewhamo]

I have been to the hobbit set in real life and I'm in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@Muhahahahaz]

“Acshually, The Shire isn’t that close to Mordor” 🤓

[@Cosmic_Tortoise]

Eagles wouldn't fly them across the world, just part of a trip, like hitch-hiking. You aren't going to get a person to drive you from California to Maine, unlikely they'd be traveling there just like you, as an example.
