Video: Specialized Celebrates Trail Building with Talking Shovels in 'Metalheads'

Apr 30, 2021

"The Most Prestigious Job That a Tool Can Have"

bigquotesTrails are the lifeblood of mountain biking, connecting us with nature and offering a reprieve from the complexities of the modern age. To be a part of the building process is to be part of something bigger than yourself, bigger than any one thing or person. Connecting the pieces for us, as a brand, is Soil Searching. It’s not a product or a tax write off—it’s the manifestation of our love for the people, and process, that make trails a reality…

At least that’s what we hope you walk away with from this film. But hey, there are talking shovels too if that’s more your thing.

 A cautionary tale about the dangers of working in an enclosed building, and what daily exposure to the chemicals released during the offgassing of CARBON FIBER can do to a person's brain.........

 Haha, I guess that is what happens when you finally have run out of bikes and parts and there is nothing left to build and sell. So they started smoking... Smile

 I don't think the people who don't believe in "no dig, no ride" realize that they're missing out on a relationship with talking shovels.

 True that. As corny as this film is, it definitely speaks some truth.

 Totally unrealistic. Nobody brings TWO flat shovels when they dig.

 If you knew you could train them to take video of your riding and then compliment your style I bet you would bring two of them.

 I thought this video was going to start off with some Mesuggah, Opeth, Gojira, NeOblivicaris, Slayer, Between the Buried and Me or something metal, but no it is Specialized...

 Looks like ebike justify to me more than celebrating of trail building

 WTF, why didn't my "no e-bike" filter didn't save me from this one.

 I was thinking the same thing, I would have liked this video much better if it didn't include ebikes.
