Named by the natives as 'shovels', these custom built sleds are designed to scream down an icy slope at white-knuckle speeds. Each year, crowds gather on the legendary slopes of Angel Fire, New Mexico, for the annual super-modified snow shovel races. For much of its history, the sport has been dominated by the Hunt Brothers, Angel Fire locals who are determined to add another world championship to their shovel resume. Looking to one-up the Hunts are Albuquerque's Junior Baxter, and his stockcar-racing buddy J.R. Fanelli. Junior and J.R. are putting their engineering skills on the line against the Hunt Boy's backwoods know-how. Both teams know that when their shovels are released at the top of the slope, all their work in the shop will be put to the ultimate test.
