The event will feature two days of skateboarding, music, art and fashion at the historic Grand Palais--culminating in a Saturday night finale featuring The Quiksilver Tony Hawk Show, followed by a concert with Dead By Sunrise (Chester Bennington of Linkin Park with his newest band) and a late night with DJ Mix Master Mike. "Quiksilver is very excited to kick off our fortieth anniversary in Paris with some of the world's most celebrated athletes," said Bob McKnight, CEO of Quiksilver. "It is amazing to think that we have been at this for over four decades. With the help of our athletes, we're proud to have built Quiksilver into a global company that helps define a lifestyle and culture around the world." This will be the first action sports event ever held inside the Grand Palais, with the largest vert ramp ever built in Europe and an immense street course open to skaters of all ages and skill levels--free of charge--for the entire two days. And a Street Contest Invitational will feature a prize purse of 20,000 Euros. This is a rare and unique chance for pros and locals alike to skate inside one of the city's massive historic monuments--for the last 109 years its held boxing competitions and horse racing but never before has it been open to skateboarding.
