Johnny Strange first came to Bhutan to ask permission to climb the highest unclimbed mountain in the world. Gangkhar Puensum, a 7,570m peak. The peak on this mountain is considered scared, and although Johnny was not granted this permission he developed a friendship with the people of Bhutan and spent time working with the Bhutan Olympic Committee.


While in Bhutan, Johnny brought over his longboard skateboard, one of the first in the country, and taught several young kids in Bhutan how to skate. In Johnny’s honor, his family, in cooperation with the Kingdom of Bhutan, is building the Johnny Strange Skatepark in Thimphu, Bhutan–the first skatepark in Bhutan. The 8,000 square foot skatepark will be designed and built by CA Skateparks.


We here at California Skatepakrs are extremely greatful to help bring  skateboarding to the people of Bhutan as well as experiencing the rich and loving culture of Thimphu, Bhutan.


Here are some photos from project so far.

The feelings that Agario evokes are genuine despite its straightforward appearance. Your need for "just one more game" is fueled by the rush of getting away, the joy of developing, and the heartache of getting eaten.

That's a truly amazing and touching story. It's so cool how a simple act of friendship, like bringing a longboard to Bhutan, grew into a project that will have such a lasting impact on the community. It's a beautiful way to honor Johnny's memory and a great example of how one person's passion can inspire something so positive. google doodle baseball

It's a great example of how sports infrastructure can be born from PolyTrack unexpected circumstances and serve as a symbol of friendship and progress.
