if memory suites me right i believe theyre pipes for storm drains.

first of all, you cant afford one. theyre really expensive like above. if u want one. your gonna have to steal it.check where theyre doing street construction around town, at night they just leave those pipes laying around, get someone with a truck or suv, problem solved.

I've always wished I lived in a more rural area where I had a huge yard that my parents didn't care what I did with, like in OP's video.

you grabbed the wrong one.

i have a pretty much unlimited supply. there was a retirement home in my neighbourhood that got torn down and leveled, now it's just a 30ft deep pit full of many pvc pipes cause they ran out of money to build something there.

At this one construction site, they were throwing some away so we snatched a few for free.

superman? the pipes like what are in the video weigh 900-1000 lbs/100 feet. a 20 ft rails worth will weigh 200 lbs. not something you just walk over and grab

this. i got one by myself in the back of my explorer at night.  it was possible the worse decision ever to do it by myself.

took me a good few minutes to just drag it to my car, then i had to lift up one end, rest it on the bumper, then lift it the last few feet up to the back window(thats open). then i had to run to the other end of the pipe and lift/push it into the car. def some sweat on the brow after it was in the car.

be smart, bring a homie to help.

ha, i stole a 20 foot and a 6 foot section. the 20 footer was a huge bitch. i dragged it to the road from where it was then ratchet strapped it to a bike and walked it a 1/4 mile back to my house. best jib ever though. so much fun for surface swaps and such.

stealing them is the only way to go, you'll spend more on one of those than a pair of skis.

The one I have is about 30 pounds tops and around 15 feet long.
But I guess some are heavier than others, I don't remember trying to pick up a real heavy one though.
