find them.. i know where at least 10 are around my town.. i just have to go get them and don't take them from a active construction sight thats fucked. find a old factory or plant or any industrial area and they are laying around obviously been there for years.. then take them
No, don't steal them you fucks. That's so scummy. Just go to lowes or Home Depot. If they aren't big enough call up a builder supplier and they'd be able to order you one in whatever size you want.
Drive around the more abandoned part of town and i bet you will find one you can have in ten minutes, if its on the side of someones house though i would ask the person first, they probably wont care
will never forget me and my friend pulled up to a construction site and took a 25 foot pvc from the site then we saw the crew heading to the site as we left with a pvc strapped to the top of our car ahaha good times
Go to your local Halloween store and get a sick mask, then put your blackout 4xl jiberish on then your baggy pants. After that strap 7 mac 11s or 8 38s to your waist, the more the better. Finally go and rob some pvc, this is very dangerous so proceed with caution
If you go to active construction site they sometimes woll give you alot of free shit...Free pipes and 2x4 and other shit..You could build alot with free stuff if you talk to construction workers
I have never seen anything bigger than a 6" tube at any home improvement store, and most of them are only 10 feet. I have seen some 20' PVC, but they are usually expensive, and transporting that would be a bitch.
IF you have skier friends that are moving away or going to college that might have old pvc from a summer set up or something, ask them for it and I bet they'll just give it to you. My friend just got a bunch of astroturf from a friend that's going to college.
Big PVC pipe is expensive. I kept searched on craiglist for awhile and one day a listing showed up for a guy getting rid of a bunch of miscellaneous crap. One was this:
I just searched by "pvc pipe". I think I paid $50 for it but that's about a fourth of what it would cost if you went to an industrial plumbing supply place. The tough part was getting it home in my car.

If you look to the right you will notice that a 10 foot length is $199.90. That is retail. You might be able to get it a little cheaper. Also you have to factor in shipping which won't be cheap. As I stated, I paid $50 for mine. 25% of 199.90 is $49.97.
Mine is 10 and a half feet long with about .326 wall thickness. It has an inner diameter of 11.5 inches which is roughly the same diameter as your asshole.

I asked local excavating and construction businesses, they almost always have scraps. Me and a friend called a few places up and they said they could "hook us up". You should have seen the stuff they had OMFG pvc upon pvc upon pvc it was like heaven. They only said we could take shorter stuff but we made out pretty well i think.
You usually won't get long sections of PVC for free from a construction site seeing as scraps can be used for stubbing out, but you might be able to piece together some short ones. IMO, you'd have better luck getting HDPE water main scraps. Welding together extra water main sections is a bitch and adds potential spots for leaks, so it's a lot less worth it for a contractor to keep a 10' section of that lying around (they come in 20 or 24' sections I believe), it'll probably end up in the dumpster anyways. So, if you see contractors installing what is pictured below, I would definitely ask if they have scraps. They're better anyways because they're flexible, you could make a rainbow tube out of this.
A word of caution though, the same pipe is used for sewer forced mains (although usually with a green stripe) so be cautious about taking used pieces from the dumpster without asking.
Exactly. What's so great about them is that you don't have to build a stand if you don't want to. They're heavy enough that you can just this drop them in a somewhat level spot somewhere and they will stay put, even on snow. Or you can pile snow under the ends to raise them up.
Haha I'd say only liberate them if you ask someone and they say they aren't being used. I only say that because my dad is a contractor and people steal things all the time and it's not cool.

I'd say roughly 70% of this website falls under the category of skier scumbag/bum/whatever, and would probably be able to get to sleep at night knowing they stole a pipe from a construction site. Big PVC's are the shit, but paying 200$ for a ten foot section of pipe is pretty unfeasible for a kid in their teens or early 20's. Skis, boots, and bindings are expensive enough on their own.

Then make do with what you have? Don't screw other people over for your personal gain? Maybe get a job or save your money so you cant afford it?

Everybody bitches if somebody steals the smallest thing from them but it's totally cool as long as it's other people?
If you can't afford one too bad. Look on craiglist. My parants didn't give me $10,000 for my birthday so I'm gonna cry about it and steal everything.
Get a job, and budget your money on what you need. I've seen big steel tubes going for cheap before on cl. Hit some yards up. If you can't find one for cheap or can't afford it, make due with what you have.
A regular pvc rail is cheap as fuck. Deal with it until you get a chance to get a better one.
I mean do whatever you're going to do, but don't pull the life is so hard, I'm not rich so the universe owes me everything.
