Fête Nationale ‘Bastille’ 2007, That’s UXA for Rip It Up!!

As symbol of uprising, local French restaurants annually transform Smith Street into a sand filled, multi-courted Bocce Ball fest, -go figure. To add a little revolution to this Fête Nationale, UXA and Homage skate shop lead by Jefferson Pang locked down Smith Street in an all out game of S.K.A.T.E. and High Ollie contest. Here are some pics of the event.
