A Hidden Path
Hilltop Path + Skate Ramp
Back in 2012, I began making long solo drives from Burlington out to the remote forest of northern Vermont, up near the Canadian border. This was the start of my pie in the sky, dream project that would end up taking five years to complete.
The first two summers I spent alone in the woods, digging a walking path up the hillside. This finished with a quarter mile, hundred-plus stair path up to the hilltop. The second half of the idea was to build a skate ramp up at the top of this path. I quickly realized this was too much for one person to handle. Two friends, Colin and Evan, believed in my vision and took on the challenge with me. The next three summers we hiked loads of lumber and materials up the path with hopes of completing something unique and awe inspiring.
This has always been a no social media zone, I've held it close since the start. But, after noticing the current decay, I couldn't allow all this youthful idealism to fade away in the forest. I fixed everything back up to its original state. Then, using a super 8mm camera, we captured the full experience: an early morning in Burlington Vermont, the long drive north, and eventually finding a hidden path somewhere way out there where the road turns to forest.
