Excellent video, one of the best I've seen for a rolling grade dip. I also like how he emphasizes the need to "dig up", haven't heard that term before but it is important to communicate. And the visual appearance of the tread to keep users more in the center of the trail. Very solid all throughout the content.
Why does everybody call a flat head shovel a spade shovel? Look at a deck of cards and pull out an upside down heart with a little stem sticking out and it’s black, that’s a spade! They are rounded at the end they are better for digging, flat heads are better for Moving more material off flatter areas and not digging down.

Why are you using a flat shovel? (Not a spade)
Use a trail tool like a Rogue Hoe tool. Like a giant hoe so you can tamp the ground too.
