If you've never met Patrick, then you don't know how amazing the pink little starfish can be. I first met Patrick at Bilko's Murrieta house — he was kicking back few Corona's and watching Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory on MTV, just living the dream. Since then, every single time I run into Patrick he's hard at work or hard at play, but he always has a smile on his face.

Recently Bilko sent me a bunch of photos of him and his buddy and they're just too awesome to keep to myself. But before I show you a photo diary of Patrick's adventures, I had Bilko tell us a bit more about his best friend in the entire world. Story and photos after the jump.

Patrick just loves FMX. Here he pays a visit to Nate Adams FMX park.

 
"Patrick started hanging out with us on the Crusty Tour in New Zealand. We met him at an after party at some dudes house, which ended up turning into a table tennis tournament. Brooksy (The main man that makes everything on the Crusty tour happen) was actually the first to meet Patrick and so he invited him to come hang out with us at the event.

He had so much fun and he didn't really have much going on, so we took him on the rest of NZ Crusty Tour with us and he had a ball. He spends a lot of time with the track crew, driving trucks from stop to stop, setting up the lighting, sound equipment and ramps before the riders get to the show. I usually go see him during our first practice, but I always have to play "Where's Patrick?" The track crew always hides him in a secret location. Then we usually hang out during the pre-show. He's actually been in quite a few segments with me — riding on my handlebars or on my helmet and he loves it. He's actually pulled off a 360 heelclicker to no-hander lander!

After the Capital City Crusty Tour he came to America, but he had a little bit of trouble with customs for reasons I/we can't discuss. But since being here in the states, he's really been enjoying his time. He got to be down on the floor for the entire Best Trick contest at X Games and he even held my helmet between runs.

That's Patrick in a nut shell. He's there for more than just his good looks — he can help with everything, he's a good listener and he's always positive! He's always smiling!" —Bilko
