Hey everyone, Patrick Schooler here. Just wanted to let everyone know that I will soon be changing 2 Wheels 1 Mind. As my main focus for what 2.W.1.M. is and the direction it will be taking in the future has changed. The growth of my Adventure Fitness Company LIVE DEEP, as grown quickly and I would like to give my time and energy to both LIVE DEEP and 2 Wheels 1 Mind. In order to do this I feel that I need to change what 2 Wheels 1 Mind is and set some concrete goals as to where it is headed. This being said, look in the up coming weeks for there to be some new and improved aspects of 2.W.1.M. As the new face 2.W.1.M emerges I am excited to see where it goes! I am ALWAYS looking for feed back on this and would like to see it grow. Please feel free to give me some advice and let me know what you are thinking!

While you wait for the changes, check out the new edit!

Thanks Everyone, and hope to hear from you!

As we exit a very mild Winter here in Utah and move into Spring, I am looking forward to some great Freeriding on my Mountain Bike and Motorcycle in the hills. Freeriding is an amazingly different and more creative way of riding. In the Mountain Biking Industry, Freerding has become a huge part of the sport. In the Moto Industry, it has not yet received the notoriety or credit it deserves. Freeriding is such a unique style of riding, that I feel it needs to be covered more in Moto magazines. As most people will never reach the level of top Motocross Stars, or reach the X Games level in Freestyle Motocross, people can and will relate more to Freerding in the hills. Freeriding, no matter what level you are at, can easily be done.

Mountain Bike riding and trail/jump/stunt building is a big part of my life. This past winter I was luck enough to be able to ride throughout most of the winter months. This is a great thing for people like myself, but there is one drawback. Here in Eagle Mountain the dirt dries up very quickly. Once it is dry there is absolutely no building. I had been waiting for the next good rain or snow storm, so that the dirt would be primed and ready for some sculpting. On March 18th, just a few days before Spring I got just that. Although it was Cold and windy I knew that I needed to get out and do some shovel work.

Here are some pictures from a cold yet successful “Shovel Session”…..

This is what I call "Dirt Art"

Mike Larsen is a good friend of mine, and a amazing photographer and videographer (http://www.bigginsphoto.com/index.html). So when he asked if I would like to shoot an edit in American Fork Canyon, I was all for it.

Here is what we came up with….

Here is an edit that my good friend Zak Collings put together a few weeks ago of a Freeride sesh we had earlier this year during the spring time.

Check it….

This past Sunday, my friend Allen Weston finally made the journey out to my local jumps and trails. There is so much potential out here, that I get frustrated when I seem to be the only person wanting to do any building out here! When I finally get people to come ride out and show them the trails and jumps I have built they finally get to see what I am always talking about. Allen is ready to start some building in Eagle Mountain this Fall, which I am glad that I will finally have someone to build with!  Here are a few shots that Allen took of myself, while we were out in the heat of the day.  Enjoy!

Here are a few screen shots of  different variations of supermans, superman indys, and some stretched out no footed cans from the demo I did over the weekend at the Throttle 215 Mx Park in SLC Utah. Not the greatest quality, but I will have the footage up soon, so until then enjoy these….

Hey everyone!

So with everything that I have going on, it takes me a while to post up the footage of a Race, Freestyle Show, or a day of shreding. Here is a little tid bit of a day up at the Sundance Resort last month with my good friend Zak Collings. Enjoy!

Have you done the Sundance?

Introduction to the 2 Wheels – 1 Mind Philosophy (Part 3 Creative Minds)

Part 3

2 Wheels – 1 Mind Creative Minds

“2 Wheels – 1 Mind…. An Action Sport Athlete Lifestyle Company”

CREATIVE MINDS, is the second category of 2 Wheels – 1 Mind. If I had to choose a single category to Teach and Coach, this would be it. The things that you can learn in this category carries over to all the others and will help improve every aspect of your life. This is where we are able to really explore the depths of our mind, and figure out who and what we are. This is where all are creative ideas that you have ever had break way to the surface of actual happenings in our physical world. Let us open our minds to new and creative ideas, and never stop learning. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO THINK AND GO BIG!

Think of your favorite Action sport Athlete. What make them your favorite? Odds are, it is because they do things differently than most. No one becomes truly great doing something that has already been done the same way. Find what you are great at and sick with it. When we understand how the mind works, then and only then will we be able to live our lives to the fullest. The beauty of this though, is that we can never fully understand the mind because we are always growing, learning, and becoming greater. If I have lost you, then you might need to take a step back and re-analyze what is important to you in your life, and fix some things.

Creative Minds

Here is what you will learn from the Creative Minds Category, when you Train and Ride with Patrick Schooler and 2 Wheels – 1 Mind. Read more

I have many ideas and projects that are in the works, that I am anxious on accomplishing and completing (as I believe we all have, or life would be boring). Often times I get caught up in focusing only on what I feel I NEED to do, to get to where I WANT to be in life. I forget that I am already living the life I want! All of us are guilty of this at one point or another, and we can all work on embracing all aspects of life. By doing so, life as a whole will seem as if it is working completely for us. Life will be complete and great events will take place. Let us take a step back and see all the things we already have in this life.

With that being said, I did many things over the weekend that embrace the way I see my life. Here is a quick edit that I put together of some friends and I, up at the Alpine Pond Jump. Enjoy!

What did you do over the Holiday weekend?

Dark Side Of The Lens

Finding something in life that you are truly passionate about and cant live without is amazing. When you look back at where you started and where your at now, you get the sense of accomplishment and completeness in life that we all strive for. By putting in the hours, days, months and even years of hard work and determination to accomplish whatever it may be that you set out to accomplish and finally getting there…. Thats the moment I live for. That’s the moment I feel complete.

I find myself looking for ideas, and giving myself a different take and prospective on life through watching and reading about different action sports, lifestyles, philosophies and ways of life. This keeps me Inspired and motivated to do what I do best, when I am out riding, building,filming, training for an event, and training another rider or client. I found this video and wanted to share it with everyone, because it really captures a deeper meaning of what they do and translates to what we do on 2 wheels. It may not be a 2 wheel sport, but for me its important to learn things from people in other sports and get inspired to do something great!

Enjoy!

Let me know what you think!
