Infamous skateboard legend Tony Hawk made history today when he skated the halls of the White House.

Celebrity pal Ashton Kutcher dared Hawk, on Twitter, to "skate the halls" while he was visiting the White House to participate in an event with President Obama discussing fatherhood and mentoring on Friday.

Hawk proceeded to do just that.

And he posted the pictures to Twitpic and Twitter to prove it: check out his first attempt and his rolling exit.

Surely there must have been some security that allowed this? And, if so, one has to wonder if Hawk was the first?
