Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk used his first White House visit to pull one of his most daring stunts ever, skateboarding down its hallowed halls. The 41-year old, who is now one of the most highly recognized athletes in the world thanks in large part to his best-selling video game, was on hand to take part in a White House Father's Day celebration. True to his skateboarding roots, he decided to take advantage of the perfectly manicured terrain inside the grand foyer of the Old Executive Office Building.

Hawk, and avid Twitter freak, instantly sent the following message about his stunt to his followers, "Here you go Ashton. It's the best I could do while rushing to CNN." Of course, whether or not he and Ashton Kutcher (a fellow Twitter addict) were trying to "punk" Obama's White House staff or the American people wasn't exactly clear. Hawk, however, is an avid skateboarding activist, who has spent the better part of his life trying to prove that skateboarding is not a crime. He spends much of his time on philanthropic efforts, including his Tony Hawk Foundation, which helps secure funding for city skate parks that eventually keep kids out of trouble.

Of course, skateboarding in the White House is his biggest statement yet.
