Tony Hawk skate the White House....

When I was a kid, my parents must have told me 1,000 times to not skate in the house. Today, 20 years later, President Obama invited Tony Hawk to the White House. Of course, what’s the first thing Tony did?




First black president? That’s old news. First person to skate down the White House grand foyer: Tony Hawk. Times are changing, folks.

Hawk took a brief ride Friday in the White House's grand foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building. He had the permission of White House officials, and he posted photos and Twitter accounts on his Web site.

Hawk later joined other dads, athletes and celebrities at a Father's Day forum hosted by President Barack Obama.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay helped man the barbecue grills for a White House picnic for the attendees.
