**Building the Ultimate Skate Park: A Journey of Creativity and Perseverance**

As I stand in front of my backyard, gazing at the quarter pipe hip setup that will soon become the crown jewel of my skate park, I feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The project has been a labor of love for months, with countless hours spent planning, designing, and perfecting every detail. From the tree branch that serves as the crowning glory to the industrial lights that will illuminate the ramp at night, every element has been carefully considered to create an immersive experience for skaters.

The quarter pipe hip setup is a work of art in itself, with its unique combination of curves and angles creating a thrilling ride for skaters. I've experimented with different designs and layouts, but this one feels like it's going to be the winner. The box jump at the beginning of the ramp is designed to give skaters a sense of speed and momentum as they transition into the hip. And then, there's the quarter pipe - a true showstopper that will test even the most seasoned skaters.

One of my biggest concerns has been how to safely navigate the tree branch that serves as the highest point on the ramp. I've spoken to experts in the field, and it's clear that this is going to be one of the most challenging elements of the skate park. Luckily, a team of professionals will be arriving tomorrow to help me disassemble the tree and install a sturdy rail system.

As we near completion, I'm also facing another major decision: whether or not to install a stroker kit in my 2JZ engine. This will significantly increase the power output of the motor, allowing for faster turbo spool-up times and more low-end torque. However, it's a costly endeavor, and I need to weigh the benefits against the expense.

Personally, I'm aiming for around 400 horsepower, which should provide plenty of oomph without getting too out of hand. But it's always hard to predict just how fast things will go - especially when working with high-performance engines like this one. The idea is to have enough power to handle those Lamborghini rides I've been dreaming about in the Hollywood Hills.

Speaking of which, I'm planning a special video shoot featuring these very ramps and my prized possession: a brand new, 2JZ engine. It's going to be a thrilling ride, with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. And who knows - maybe we'll even make it up to the Hollywood Hills for some high-speed antics.

**Florida Heat is Back: The Next Chapter**

As we wrap up this article, I'm excited to announce that we're heading back into the Florida heat. This time, it's not just about building a skate park - it's about creating an immersive experience for skaters. We'll be pushing the limits of what's possible with ramps and tricks, all while exploring new ideas and concepts.

Stay tuned for more updates from the Connecticut Vlogs as we continue to bring you the latest news and developments from our skate park project. And remember: when it comes to skate parks, there's no such thing as "too much" - only endless possibilities and creative solutions.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ena few days ago I got an email from our local paper the Republican American up here in Connecticut about doing an article about my success with YouTube and everything so we started off the day by doing a little interview with them and now we're going to my favorite place in the whole wide world the fire tower and I brought plenty of sharpies wait a second Nicole you're ridiculous I don't want to lose them all if you don't remember this fire tower is famous because a we got proposed here and B proposed here we got proposed here engaged here you proposed here both and Nicole lost a Sharpie on this Trail never to be found again until that man found it it was pretty cool it took to it was found but this is the most beautiful place in the whole wide world and if you want to learn more but why I love it go check out my video on my channel where I talk all about it cuz it's Wonderland you can't plug yourself that early in the video Wonderland I'm not plugging myself I'm just being honest I'm trying to help these people chill look at the mountains look at the trees we didn't know if we'd be able to come up here today cuz it was actually just raining we had a little friend on our side who made it stop Jimmy Oaks I see it Nicole I beat you again I do I always beat you I just never know when to start looking we're like soaked out here like I'm sweaty yeah it's quite hot I wish it was like this weather the whole time we were here how weird of a coincidence is it that someone tagged their name that has the same exact initials as me and Nicole where could it be I wonder how old this thing is I don't want to know look at the mountains look at the mountains you know real original all right guys let's get some spray paint and spray paint our area code on the fire tower sick Nicole's updating our tag I always go over it just so it doesn't fade just like a relationship Adam were you Mar me are you serious yes oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God get away from me you happy I'm so happy we relive the moment we relive the moment that's what it felt like to be in Nicole in that moment all right let's go get some food okay just moving around in the wind like your own the place blocking my view with the tower tree not cool what are you doing this is my sister hi Jaclyn laort that would be me she fed us I did she fed us no food left we're going to get the famous do donuts we gotten Dunkin Donuts every single day here but this is do I made her say it like seven times Italian restaurants out of sauce diners out of donuts this world is ending so I've actually spent most of the afternoon putting together emails trying to reach out to companies and figure out all the details for the 2JZ swap I'm pretty sure Alberto started the final disassembly today and we're just trying to figure out what machine shop we want to go with started packing up for the sad flight back to Florida but I'm excited to see the backyard ramp so it's all good ladies and gentlemen Jeff L areas would like to welcome you to Orlando we are back in flor Florida what's up Florida humidity warm weather back here at skate park get it I love the button it's 12:30 p.m. we're back in our beautiful home like I really appreciate this place so much more after not being here for a while I love our house but the best part about the house is the backyard skate park is like so close to being finished and I'm going to give you guys a midnight sneak peek even though it's dark out it's pretty crazy so we open up the slider walk outside and all you see is the side of a quarter pipe how cool is that let's go check it out it looks like there's one layer of ply so far so they're probably going to do another one they put these 2x4s on the ramp so they can work on it without sliding on their faces originally the idea was you'd be able to drop in on this quarter hit the box jump jump this hip and then hit this quarter all the way to the other side but I honestly don't know if that's going to be possible we've got this like cool little quarter weird hip setup I don't even know what it is and then this pyramid hip looks freaking beautiful back quarter is pretty much long enough for any sort of shenanigans You' ever want to do the Box hip looks literally perfect um the one thing we have to figure out is this tree branch you will 100% H your head on it so we have someone coming tomorrow to take that down along with some other stuff up there one of my concerns though is like when you hit this hip left like what you're going to do over here so I might have to get creative maybe make something I don't really know maybe Cory will have an idea but this this hip this quarter looks really fun going to have so much speed at this it's going to be interesting I feel like I'm not doing the ramp Justice showing it to you guys in the dark so obviously tomorrow I'm going to go out here in the daylight maybe we'll talk to Cory a little bit and I'll give you guys a better sneak peek at the park but for now I am stoked a common question that I'm getting is what I'm going to do in regards to lights for the skate park uh my neighbors were cool enough to be cool with me putting a ramp in the backyard I don't want to have some like crazy industrial lights that just gets into a whole another bag of worms with the city and with my neighbors so I think what I'm going to do is just run some extension cords and have like little portable work lights so you know if we want to ride light at night I'll just light up one section and kind of keep them low so it doesn't really bother other people and right now still the expected completion date of the ramp is the 18th they still got to do all the ramp armor and like the final touches and that after a nice batch of raisin brand though raisin brand crunch so hungry broken rocker arms hm well instead of broken rock arm how about we talk about something that doesn't have rocker arms and that's a 2JZ what's going on with the 2JZ what's the status with going on I don't know well I kind of do know Alberto finally got a bin it came in from Japan it's like full Billet aluminum like the thing is crazy so he's been able to start the disassembly of the motor I think the only thing we're waiting on right now before we bring the motor to the Machine Shop is me to make the decision whether I want to do a 3.4 l stroker kit or not maybe some of you out there are 2JZ experts so I'll explain like what I want in the motor is something reliable and Alberto has been telling me that if we do the 3.4 l we'll be able to spool up the turbo way way faster it'll have more lowend power and will feel similar to a V8 personally I'd be fine with a 3 l cuz I'm coming from a low compression Sr I just don't want to not do the Stroker and then regret it down the road cuz all in all it's not really that much more money we got a really good deal on the BC stroker kit so I need to make that decision give me input if you know anything about it my power goals are like maybe like 4 to 500 horsepower cuz that's all I really want to go through cuz I don't want to eat tires for breakfast lunch and dinner but it would be cool to be able to crank up the Boost in case I ever want to run more power if I just want to go race Lamborghinis on the highway in the Hollywood Hills with books in my hatch in the Hollywood Hills like this video if you want more Hollywood Hills I love Hollywood Hills actually I've never driven in the Hollywood Hills that'd be really fun we should get Lamborghinis and knowledge and go to Hollywood Hills and drive around there can you get me some raisins why I need more raisins are your raisin brand crunch yeah I added the crunch but I didn't add more raisins oh so you messed up the ratio yeah you lean a rich I'll get the ra now that we're back home there's a ton of crazy stuff going on I'm probably going to go insane because I can never handle it all but I do my best and I do my best to share it all with you guys so thank you I hope you enjoyed the Connecticut Vlogs but now we are back in the Florida heat and we are going to be up to
