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.

Here are some photos from project so far.

Students, office workers, and casual gamers often look for these games when they want quick entertainment during breaks. One of the…
The story of Johnny Strange and the construction of Bhutan's first skatepark is truly inspiring, as it shows how a street sport can connect different cultures, and I personally sometimes enjoy that energetic feeling when playing fast-paced, reflex-based running games like Subway Surfers City.
A thoughtful and inspiring piece that highlights the cultural and community impact of building skate spaces in unique locations. The storytelling and purpose behind the project came through clearly and made the post engaging from start to finish. In the middle of the article, it brought to mind how https://gocollectiv.com/ often reflects on initiatives that connect people through shared passions and creativity. The way you explained the topic was very clear and helpful. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog, and it offered an interesting perspective as well.
