Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk attends son’s graduation in Colorado

Over the weekend, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk posted photos of his recent trip to Colorado, during which he attended his son Keegan’s graduation ceremony from Colorado University Boulder.

In an image from the special day that was posted by Tony Hawk, Keegan dons a stole noting his graduation from the College of Arts & Sciences as he stands beside Tony, while the Flatirons can be spotted in the backdrop.

“Very proud of this young man for all of his dedication and hard work over the last four years,” reads Tony Hawk’s post.
