Skateboard legend Tony Hawk has taken photos of himself cruising through the halls of The White House on his board.
The 41-year-old had been invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave by Barack Obama, for a Fathers Day event with a host of other famous dads.
But while there Hawk, who takes his skateboard everywhere, asked permission to skate through the foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building.
He then uploaded images to Twitter along with the message: "This really happened. Thank you for the invite, President Obama." Malia and Sasha Obama will no doubt soon be asking why they are not allowed to do the same.

Max Kulish. 06-22-2009, 11:21 AM Obama is ALL about sports. Glad to know he cares about the sports that aren't so publicly loved.

MattxLustt 06-25-2009, 09:08 AM Why is everyone *****ing about this being old news?
It hasn't been posted on the cafe.

And who cares who else did it? Tony did it, so we're posting about it.
Super Mario 06-25-2009, 10:11 AM If theres anybody I would trust skateboarding in the white house, it would definately be Birdman.

StonyHawk 06-26-2009, 02:13 PM I did a kickflip over obama once.
jimmmster 06-28-2009, 03:49 PM I did a kickflip over obama once.
Same. And then I flew to the moon on the back of a magic pig.
NoSwitch 06-30-2009, 08:02 AM It would have been a lot more core if they let him shred the mall and hit all the featrures around the monuments. We used to go skate at the Federal Reserve Plaza in MPLS MN when it was new. It had a big, sloping, marble outdoor plaza with trees that had metal railings around them.
mr. awesome 06-30-2009, 10:28 AM ^OMG i posted it a few hours after he put it on twitter. My bad.
zerohalo.... dont question stg.... hes a moderator on an intranet skateboaring forum. theyre always right and say funny things.

Absolutely nothing else in common though I can assure you..
Boarder-101 07-05-2009, 10:24 AM i used to think tony hawk was a proper big sell out, and now i respect him - he quit when he did to be with his family, but as this shows, he is still just a big kid - awesome :D
Red_Prowler 07-05-2009, 10:49 AM haha thats so funny, that'd be so fun
PatGanly 07-28-2009, 10:34 PM thats so cool, i wish i could hit up the white house, tony hawk is legend
