We got to sit down with the inventor, Patrick Mayer, who was on track to become a professional Freestyle snowboarder when his injury stopped him in his tracks. Patrick was dissatisfied with the limited offering of products that got wheelchair-bound people back out in nature and able to enjoy their previous outdoor hobbies and lifestyles. Injuries can be difficult, and a positive attitude can sometimes be difficult to achieve, but Patrick's inspiring determination pushed him to spend the next few years after his injury researching and developing products to give people their outdoor mobility back. 

He now is researching and developing new products for wheelchair users yearly, and he's back out in the Swiss mountains doing photography and adventuring. Here he is pictured below:

Patrick's vision then migrated to walking assists, and he developed another product called the Safety Foot. It attaches to the bottom of any type of walking assist to make them as nimble as the hoof of a mountain goat. 

The Safety Foot is now available as well through Living Spinal. We love partnering with amazing people like Patrick to create more opportunity for wheelchair users. We're excited to announce that we're now the North American distributor for all of Patrick's products, including the Wheel Blades and the Safety Foot. Due to our special relationship with Patrick, we were able to simplify distribution and permanently lower the price of Wheel Blades from $395 to $325. It's one way we can give back to the Spinal Paralysis community, and give Patrick the ability to keep funding research for new products. 

Plus, if you have a FreeWheel, there is a special model of Wheel Blades called the XL that you can attach to the front wheel of your Freewheel to go even further in the winter!
