This will be the first action sports event ever held inside the Grand Palais, with the largest vert ramp ever built in Europe lasting for two days. This is a rare and unique chance for pros and locals alike to skate inside one of the city’s massive historic monuments. The weekend’s anniversary will also include exhibition areas for art, music and cultural events. Special guest and renowned graffiti artist André will be giving the public an opportunity to watch the notorious artist work live at the event. Quiksilver has also assembled a 40 year fashion retrospective inside the venue.

In addition, The Tony Hawk Show is bringing friends such as skaters Andy MacDonald, Kevin Staab, Sandro Dias, Jean Postec, Sergie Ventura, Jesse Fristch, and four of the biggest names in international skateboarding will be our very special guests: Christian Hosoi, Daniel Cardone, Javier Mendizabal and Omar Hassan.

Be sure to look for Todd Richard’s event coverage, Paris exploits and special interviews with athletes and artists alike in several upcoming “Todcasts” on quiksilver.com in December. For more information on this Event please visit: www.Quiksilverlive.com.

    Je souhaiterai pouvoir obtenir 2 places pour samedi soir au Grand Palais.
    C’est pour mon petit fils pour son anniversaire.
    Mes enfants se sont habillés chez vous et maintenant mon petit fils 13 ans.

    Merci de bien vouloir faire le nécessaire.
