Chase hawk along with Danny Hickerson, Nigel Sylvester and Edwin Delarosa made it to the opening of this concrete skatepark in Paris last week. WatchBMX put a video online of the session at the park which also shows some of the best French riders. The park looks insane and has a roof on top. Gotta check the vid and put Paris on the map of your next road trip.

The B-day Boy list this week is long. Find your party. Congrats to all.
