Pat and I shot most of these photos while we were both living in Melbourne before that gross winter crept in. We finally got to catch up for the first time since then. The plan was to come meet Pat after work on the Sunshine where he's building a very shiny new skatepark, head to the pub for a feed and few beers then back to the convic crib for a casual sit down interview over a few beers. That was the plan, and it was all going swimmingly until we got to the interview part.
Pat: (addressing Jack Paterson regarding his wrist guard): So can you roll with that broken fucken little shit chicken wing you got there?
Jack: Yeah
Pat: You look like you're having troubles
Cameron: So how do you want to start this interview?
Pat: I'm going to answer that by calling Cameron the doggest dog of all, nah actually you look like a XXXXX.
* whole room laughs at my expense *
Cameron: You were living in Melbourne for a while, how long did you last?
Pat: You're XXX as Fuck, we're still going to go on about the gay shit, about you.
Cameron: Yeah we can talk about whatever.
Pat: No you're not going to ask me questions. I'm just going to talk about how XXX you are.
Cameron: Ok we can do that for a bit I guess.
Pat: I'm going to interview you mother fucker
Cameron: Ok
@guvnorthebitch: Growls
Pat: You need to kick your dog fair and square in the head.
Cameron: How long did you live in Melbourne for?
Pat: We can't do questions and answers, you just press record and fucking get whatever you can fucking get, how about that, we come to a fair deal there?
Cameron: So I can't ask you any questions?
Pat: Yeah
* 5 min later *
Cameron: Who's been through more glass doors, you or Murray (Pat's bloodhound).
Pat: Muzza thinks he's a sick cunt but I've been through way more.
Cameron: How many has Murray been through?
Pat: Just one the dog. He's only been hit by one car too, I've been hit by two three
Cameron: You've been in more cop cars than him as well, he's only been in one.
Pat: He's a dog
Cameron: Are you riding for Vaughan now?
Pat: No
Cameron: So you're going on record saying that you're not riding for Parlay?
Pat: Yeah fuckin oath, I'm still riding Hoon.
Cameron: Cuzza said it was curtains
Pat: Anyone who says that I'll just punch em up. * laughs terrifyingly *
Pat: Nah don't put that in. nah put it in.
Cameron: What drake song were you and Peewee listening to on repeat when building Nambour skatepark
Pat: Peewees a bitch.
Cameron: Does (Andrew) Mappy let you order whatever you want from Subway?
Pat: Yeah but I always try to get him to get a sixer and he'll never do it. He always calls lunch on this shot and I'm like cunt, get me a sixer and I'll do it right now. He really doesn't know how to work me. But then yeah, he bought me lunch. I guess he helps me in the long run, gets me a little bit healthy.
Cameron: I was going to ask if you still owned that cute little bucket hat but you were wearing it today at work.
Pat: Cute? That thing does wonders, keeps the fringe out of my eyes, keeps me sun smart that's about it. Looks sick as fuck!
Cameron: Does it though? Who wears a bucket hat
Pat: Who wears overalls and pink shirt you're a homo
Cameron: What's your most recent tattoo, you haven't got one in ages have you?
Pat: Fuck no, I don't care about tattoos anymore, they're the sick thing to do now.
Cameron: Is pouring house slabs and driveways any different to pouring skateparks?
Pat: The people you work with, its good to have other skaters to work with.
Cameron: Where do you want to travel to next?
Pat: We gotta do that round 2 Europe trip.
Cameron: Back to Barca, El Patio
Pat: El Killio
Pat: As soon as this skateparks done I'll probably head to Bali or Japan to visit my older brother.
Cameron: You've got an older brother? Does he also enjoy a beverage?
Pat: Yeah he loves a beer, he's better than Jim on the piss Nah Jim's alright on the piss, he's starting to learn.
Cameron: What's the shittest park you've ever worked on?
Pat: I'm stoked to work on any park, it's all going to be built which is never a bad thing, it's still something. There's always some shit shit where you're like what the fuck but anyway you stick your dick in it and run.
