6th Annual Johnny Strange Legacy Skate Contest — Saturday, September 5.

Johnny Strange Legacy Skate Contest

6th Annual, Saturday September 5, 3PM

Johnny Strange was a Malibu local who decided the world wasn’t big enough to stay in one corner of. Downhill skating, big wave surfing, mountaineering…he did all of it, and did it young. At the time, he became the youngest person to summit the highest peak on each of the seven continents, including Everest. He wasn’t chasing records. He was chasing what was possible.

Johnny passed away doing what he loved. Every year at MCCO, the skate community comes back to the ramp in his name. To compete, to push each other, and to keep the spirit of someone who made Malibu proud alive for another year.

This is the 6th Annual.
