Not sure if this is supposed to be in gear talk or not... but

I was wondering where is the best place to get a corrugated pipe or a pipe of similar diameter (about 2 feet)?

It would be a fun rail and a good rail to learn new tricks on for my summer jib. I would really want something that is large in diameter and smooth(like a millitube) but they are much more expensive.

A lot of mountains, at least here on the East Coast, have gone through a corrugated phase/set them up.

I would but I don't want to drop too much money into it. Smooth pipes are a lot more expensive than corrugated ones.

Are the ones in PC metal or plastic?

The metal ones are pretty shitty but the plastic ones are fun

these ones with the flat ribs are the best

This.

Why would you want to learn new tricks on a tube that grabs your edge and throws you to the ground if your unbalanced? Learning tricks on smooth features and then bringing them to corrugated sounds way better to me.

Generally speaking they're out of your budget, especially the metal ones. Check craigslist.

Corrugated pipes are fun for a couple hits, but in the long run, it would be more fun to hit a normal PVC pipe or flat rail. Learning tricks on a corrugated tube is going to be VERY frustrating, as it can grip your edges in strange ways.

That said, the sound is totally worth it.
