Racing GEOWIZARD in a Straight Line across the Isle of Man

In December 2023 we raced the original 'Straight-Line-Missioner' Geowizard across the Isle of Man. Our lines started 150m apart and converged at the same point on the East coast. We decided on a Le Mans style start, and the first to reach the opposite coast while staying within the Platinum deviation zone would be the winner!

Where should the rematch take place?

[@winterforlife]

Anglesey

[@watch-Dominion-2018]

Iceland or Sicily

[@reggiedixon2]

The Dragons Back race. I am the bloke from Fan Fawr who got in touch before.

[@coldmilkexe2087]

Northern Ireland or if you want to be dangerous South London 😂

[@sholtodepuma]

Skye 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tehArgento]

here after watching Geowizard's video.

[@NowonosMusic]

The editing style and music choice is so jarring going from one to the other😅 Both brilliant videos nonetheless!

[@willreesparkour]

Sameee

[@noodlepig87]

Same

[@ashwilliams4959]

​@NowonosMusic that's the 1st thing I noticed 😂 geowizards more calm, relaxed.. old man style 😂 these guys full of energy and excitement. I'd definitely get the 🍿 for more of these combo runs

[@ChaosMoon]

Snap

[@ItsMeBenson]

*slams occipital lobe into a fence post* “Mate I’m feeling proper light headed.” “Yep…… There’s Geowizard!” 😂😂😂

[@toms169]

Yeah, Adam should have taken this more seriously. That fall was REALLY dangerous.

[@imboredsoimhere3579]

I mean I guess it’s family/brotherly type thing where he just assumed he was fine but still wild 😂

[@MinecraftClub1234]

The invincibility of youth!

[@JYD2020]

The difference of toms videos being slower paced and more a journey through the country side and yours being a face paced adventure is a perfect dichotomy of content that i need

[@ashwilliams4959]

They should do a city type run like toms Birmingham run. Their young energy vs Tom's chill somewhere like that'd be great too

[@NotTheLarryDavid]

Not just that but the music choices, even the video aspect ratio… such a nice complement to each other

[@LordBrozart]

Props to GeoWizard for founding the genre and coining the terms, “deviation,” “bang on the line,” etc. What a legend.

[@tobysimmonds487]

"bang on the line" should be an everyday use quote

[@0002pA]

*see a line of coke* BANG ON THE LINE!

[@JackFate76]

"Ooh, Verity, have you got the right size dry bag?" 😂

[@MYuee]

Imagine just looking out of your window, seeing a guy with a tattered button down shirt, sport leggings and a bum bag running through your garden 😂

[@emilyd3363]

"yet another battery excuse from geowizard" had me laughing lots! Love your guys humour and well done on winning! Great race from all :)

[@JasonTheSilence]

"Are we recording?!" got me! haha

[@ashwilliams4959]

Pure British pisstaking at its best 😂

[@tubularap]

14:47 - "That's the world's slipperiest rock. It won an award last year. World's slipperiest rock. They did actually put a sticker on it, but it peeled off pretty quickly." Being a stand-up comedian, while running a straight-line race ... impressive, and funny :-)

[@MartyMacFry]

This guy is running a near half marathon in a button down shirt

[@stephenmercerProductions]

Disgraceful that he isn't wearing a tie.

[@fireskorpion396]

​@@stephenmercerProductionssafety tie woulda been awesome

[@R3dFlames]

Even still had most of the shirt on him at the end 😂

[@muhilan8540]

You def need long sleeves

[@bd11777]

Better than Geo's short sleeve shirt 😂

[@athensbiker]

Here after watching Geo's video and reading your comment there. Subscribed. Nice to meet you lads. Keep it up and always hafe fun.

[@athensbiker]

Btw, how's the head?

[@archiefieldhouse]

Luckily the pain subsided after 10 minutes and there was no concussion

[@ironmann1774]

Great video and hilarious to see you upsetting my next door neighbour. I won’t share the link with him in case he reports you to the police, lol.

[@jsolfin185]

Another cool Idea could be doing the exact same line but starting from opposite ends Possibly meeting in the middle somewhere. Would be interesting to see the choices that both parties make at the more challenging obstacles.

[@1320fastback]

Can you imagine the old man seeing two guys run from the street into the hills and then 5 hours later one man running out of the hills to the street 😅

[@Cubeforc3]

I guess the problem is that one direction is probably a lot steeper than the other, so that makes it harder to make it fair.

[@hiimpaul4]

​@Cubeforc3 sea level to sea level should mean the same elevation deviation. However, it could be argued that climbing up the cliff from the west is harder than climbing up the rocks from the east.

[@tachms]

@@Cubeforc3as they are both running from sea level to sea level, i can't really see this problem.

[@Cubeforc3]

​@@tachms One side could be a gradual incline while the either could be more steep. They'd have to be very careful to pick a fair line.

[@GizmoTheFFF]

Love the ripped to hell shirt at the end hahahaha.

[@user-uz2in5ce5k]

He bodyslammed his head on the fencepost ANDfell into barbed wire, insane

[@jimdotcom1972]

12:32 lol, you guys called it. absolute champion faffer

[@Erikaecks]

The 'world's slipperiest rock' joke was a 10/10. Awesome work, you guys!

[@_P2M_]

Not only did you come out ahead in terms of time, but also in the straightness of the line, and had the shortest maximum deviation. An absolute win. Well, done, lads! Stay safe, though. That head bump could've been so, so bad.

[@brago.gameplays]

Inflatable duck is the new meta.

[@PkPvre]

Was fun swithing between yours and GeoWizards channel perspectives every so often, great race, congrats!

[@TheHarry612]

Seems like the Fieldhouse's path was much much easier than GeoWizard's path.

[@winterforlife]

The perfect collab

[@haz454]

appreciate that you took the time to not only stand on the rotten sheep but also to film it and include the footage in your video, very epic!

[@lilschlagen]

"What's the matter Danny? Never taken a shortcut before?" Is the perfect reference for these missions 😂

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

Said in the thickest Somerset accent possible. 😂😂

[@Box0rz]

Well edited and narrated video, it was just as entertaining as Tom's version! Well done and good job on the win!

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Legendary fellas, both view points were fun to watch. Thee old guy was mad aye, He should of been congratulations seeing young people out been productive. Ggs

[@lhaviland8602]

Major props for doing this in a plaid dress shirt of all things. I feel George Mallory would be proud.

[@VERYEXCITED]

This is such a great idea. The head-to-head competition adds an extra layer of fun and strategy to straight line missions. Another idea might be to keep GPS trackers in your pockets, and limit yourself to only a compass and landmarks. Then, the adherence to a straight line will also depend on your planning and orienteering skills. There's a lot of Boy Scouts out there who might like to see orienteering applied in a race like this. Getting platinum with just a compass would be quite a feat.

[@bradarmstrong3952]

Nicely done -- seems you were right -- teams looked about evenly matched, you guys did well for sure, but Tom's unforced errors untimately handed you the win. As with all racing it often turns out to be who made fewer mistakes! Again, nicely done!

[@fredfred2363]

You guys definitely had the better line. No contest.

[@mikulitsi1819]

Damn you guys were lucky with that owner not stopping you two. Well done guys that was great!

[@MrXenon1994]

Came here from GeoWizard's video. Just wanted to say congratulations on the win, fellas. What a fun race it was to watch, and I hope there will be more straight-line races in the future. What a challenging, exciting prospect!

[@zanna7494]

love hearing tom being referred to as the wizard

[@greenmarcosu]

I love Geowizard and I am glad I got introduced to your channel through his. You all are great and these adventures are one of the highlights of my KZbin watching. Everyone needs more outdoor adventures, comraderie, and challenges to motivate them!

[@isobarkley]

congrats y'all! excited to see more of your adventures

[@RevJock]

Just watched both back to back :-) Well done lads!

[@johnpheth]

Loved the video guys and what a race, congrats on the win!

[@BDamen1984]

Great banter 😂 Loved this. Great to see both videos. Keep it up 👏

[@joshlang6442]

Congrats on your win brothers!

[@Nooticus]

Great work guys. Proud to have been subbed from your early days 👍

[@elia671]

I came here after watching Geowizard's video. well done, guys! well-deserved victory😆 Greetings from Italy

[@nevimore]

well played, whippersnappers

[@user-us7tx1eq6m]

Very well done lads! Good line selection, solid performance, top pisstaking. Subscribed 👍

[@Kennykomar]

13:57 Dead sheep ? Thats disgusting :D

[@vaenii5056]

That's genuinely the most disgusting thing I have seen in a while. I mean why it is so green. Yuck.

[@FFMSteffen]

I did not notice while watching

[@davidz2690]

You see dead sheep all the time in the uk if you’re hiking lol

[@TheAlv2000]

Another awesome vid. Love these, keep'em coming! :D

[@stevenjones4295]

New subscriber from Geowizard, I love these straight line missions, will catch up on your old videos

[@viktoytube]

You guys are awesome, great performance!

[@watch-Dominion-2018]

how on God's green Earth do you still only have 15k subs? Your videos deserve way more than that

[@0002pA]

I'm surprised Archie survived in one piece! I've been watching GW for years now and it shows you guys are real fans too, love the banter. :)

[@timbervalleyproductions]

Nice one lads, top work, subbed 👍

[@jlt131]

good fun guys! well done on the win. hope that head injury was okay in the end!

[@Caterblock]

Great video! Killing it again

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Well done, lads. Geowizard Tom is a sound lad like yourself. Much respect to all three of you.

[@curbsideaudio]

Great race and great edit, boys! Well done!

[@w00f72]

A super cut with both points of view would be amazing.

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

More collaborations, please chaps!!! Excellent stuff!!

[@adamgh_8098]

Solid effort lads

[@johannes7059]

Can't wait what you guys will be up to next 😁👍

[@somefishhere]

Great race

[@Axecon1]

Excellent run fellas!

[@bensaiben]

Great show lads

[@BenHikesOutdoors]

Amazing collaboration 👌

[@Dani-El.]

Well done, lads. It looked tough.

[@alyxleaf]

Fair play lads, well done for doing it for the south! I jest, i jest, but seriously that was epic. Crossing a reservoir on an inflatable duck, absolute madlads. Great sense of humour too, got proper laughs out of me. Keep doing what you're doing 👍

[@OskoIoko]

I saw the two perspectives, so much fun! Would be great if we see more stuff like this in the future :D

[@rogerclarke3291]

Cool video and well done.

[@williambarnett9719]

nice work lads

[@foundatlantis]

great job lads well done 👏👏👏👏

[@cdizzle]

Well it looks like my next hour and 10 minutes is set 🔥🔥

[@mingng937]

Good effort boys. Tom will always be the founding OG, but you’re worthy successors to carry the torch and inspire more competition. Tom’s route looked rougher but he didn’t plan as well, the swim was a bad decision for timing and condition. Great work from you two, deserved the win.

[@matthewstokes707]

Well done boys! Here from Tom's channel, will likely be binging your stuff next week.

[@bort_p]

top effort! keep the straight lines missions coming

[@stephenmacartney]

Great quality video! Really cool to do the comparison between yours and Tom's race 😊

[@JosepFlanagan]

Flawless victory chaps can't wait for round two!

[@watch-Dominion-2018]

did Archie get a concussion off that post?

[@archiefieldhouse]

Luckily not, it hurt for 10 minutes but I recovered quickly

[@psychotogether5114]

Congrats, lads!

[@LychkovIA]

Absolutely love the crossover episode!!1 This is so greaaaaaaat

[@maximeanselot3007]

The duck was a brilliant idea. Probably where you won the race.

[@graceydez6199]

Well done lads. 😊

[@MarkPentler]

this is a nice crossover, thanks lads

[@vaenii5056]

Congrats! 😄

[@Nayte08]

This was a good watch

[@jos9116]

Isle of Man is beautiful. Those hedges are protected by Manx law lol

congrats guys!

[@operationjester3348]

Well done lads 👍 I hope that scratch from the barbed wire fence wasn't too serious?

[@CampingRulesOkay]

A fantastic showing lads! I hope you'll let Tom have a crack at taking the 'title' from you in another race soon! 👍🤞

[@mikulitsi1819]

5:10 Very lucky to not get hurt worse or get a concussion

[@TazerOnlineMedia]

I'd love to do one of these

[@nilsarnerlof9633]

happy for ya!

[@harrytlynx5715]

Here from GeoWizard to see your POV haha, you guys are great and Ive subscribed :)

[@DreamClean]

Epic content!!

[@dorianmus6771]

Crazy how much easier your route was.

[@obscurefruit6445]

well done boys!

[@christophersmith7714]

Luved it!

[@TCJproject]

Love the easier route guys, I suppose you had to win somehow! Another great video, keep it up!

[@STORMWOLF66]

I am loving this, gonna watch both videos to see who won 😆

[@docolemnsx]

Oh I wanted to see this! 🥳

[@LunaticKD1991]

You guys smoked Geowizard. 🤣 Good job. That swimming strategy really cost Geowizard. You guys had the better game plan to deal with the water crossings.

[@peternagy6067]

Great vid

[@jugs0101]

Awesome 😎 You look like fugitives escaping from the moorland prison 😆
