Is it easier to do a carthweel on grass or sand, like the beach?

Question

well im trying to learn how to do a cartwheel and im wondering where it would be easier to do it

Answer 1

grassssssssssssssssssssss

grASS

Answer 2

Grass is the easiest place. It's firm, study, and gives more support.

However, if you need the sand, go ahead. Soft sand is easier to fall into and not hurt yourself, but sand does sink.

I wouldn't recommend sand NEXT to the shore. If you call, it will hurt.

Use grass :) More suitable!

Answer 3

Grass, definately

Answer 4

duh grass

Answer 5

I would suggest sand because even though it is softer, and not as much grip, you'll probably be less afraid, and land softly. Grass can get your clothes stained if you fall.

I'd suggest a tumbling gym over anything because I've screwed up double backflips on them with a head plant, and still walked away uninjured. Theres also people to spot you there.

Answer 6

It would be less painful landing in sand, but it is much easier to do a cartwheel with firm ground under your hands, so grass would be easier to do the cartwheel properly.

Answer 7

I say the grass because the sand has too much give and you will be off balance and sink in! Good luck and don't get too bruised up!

Answer 8

Depends on whether you like gritty in the creses, or can remove grass stains with ease.  Either place is suitable for learning how to cartwheel.  Be careful though.
