The chunkier brother of the Trailshark 2000. The funny thing is, it's not even that big as shovels go, but it's as big as you'd ever want a shovel to be for digging jumps. It uses the same stamp shape as the 2000, only its slightly wider with a deeper dish, meaning you can shift more dirt at once. It has the same geometry and packing surface area, so whilst it still a great shaping and packing tool, with that extra material (and dirt it can hold) it means more weight, so it's geared more for shifting quickly compared to the lighter weight Ferrari of the 2000 which is geared more for shaping and more sustained shifting.
Basically there are 3 reasons you might choose this over the classic 2000:
1. You dig in lighter, sandier dirt. A sandy load on the end of this is going to be somewhat comparable to a load of clay on the end of a 2000.
2. You dig in shorter, more intense bursts. Whilst you can move more dirt at any one time, a fully loaded Fat Bastard weighs significantly more than a 2000 (especially on the end of a long lever), so it's harder on the body. If you tend to dig for many hours at a time, go for the 2000 - but if you dig for harder bursts of an hour or 2 at a time you might prefer the Fat Bastard.
3. You're just a fucking tank. if you're built like a spartan the efficiency savings of the weight might not mean that much to you - so yeah, go you.
ONLY SHIPPING TO CANADA AND USA
This is a pre-order, i'm aiming to get them shipped out the week beggining 12th of May. There's a chance they might be shipped a bit sooner, also a possibility they might take a bit longer.
I'll keep you updated if theres any crazy changes.

ONLY SHIPPING TO CANADA AND USA
(All prices are in Canadian Dollars)
Please read this if you're ordering more than one shovel.
Please include your Instrgram handle in the order notes so I can get in touch with you more easily. Email sucks.
Sorry this is kinda long to explain, I know everyone hates paying for shipping, myself included. So I’m just trying to be completely transparent about the costs. Shovels are long, so they cost a lot to ship.
If you’re only buying one shovel, its pretty straight forward so maybe no need to read.
If you’re ordering more than one shovel, its a bit weird.
The costs are different for Canada and the USA so look at whatever part is relavant to you.
Canada
One shovel costs $60 to ship
The shipping increases by $20 for each additional shovel, so ordering multiple will save you money on shipping. Up to maximum of 3, then I will have to ship them un-assembled in two packes.
Sorry, i think the weight/size gets too big. There is no shipping option for packages that big and heavy.
If you want more than 3 shovels I can ship them un-assembled as two separate packages, one pack of heads, one pack of handles, with assembly instuctions.
Or just make multiple orders up to the amount you want I can ship them assembled.
USA
One shovel costs $60 to ship
Two shovels goes over a size threshold where it becomes $180 to ship, which is fucked. And it continues to get more insane the more shovels you add.
So there's a few options:
- If you want 2 shovels they will ship separately, they will cost $60 each to ship.
- If you want more than 2 shovels, I can ship them un-assembled as two packages. A pack of handles and a pack of heads which will cost $60 per package. I can include some instructions to help you put them together, it’s pretty straight forward.
- Alternatively if you want more than 2 shovels but you want them assembled just make as many individual orders as you want and I will ship them all separately.
The shipping shouldnt cost more than $120 no matter how many you order, but if your gunna order a large amount just hit me up and i'll make sure the shipping cost is correct.
Sorry, my website shipping isnt the best, But I think I have it figured out. I dont make huge profits on these, so it fucks me over if I lose money on shipping. I will get in touch to correct the shipping if it has been done incorrectly, or just re-fund the order if I cant get hold of you.
Please try to make sure your contact details are correct so i can get in touch if something is wrong. Maybe include your Instrgram handle in the order notes so I can get in touch with you more easily.
