Does anyone skip on grass? i.e. a mowed lawn.
Not 'while smoking weed'....
What's it like? I would like to get a skipping rope for home but only have grass or gravel to skip on.

Buy those rubber inter-locking mats from argos: about £20 for 4, plenty of area for skipping.
Skipping on grass not good, the ground will dent under your weight and compromise the travel of the rope.

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.

I don't think I'd be putting them over the grass. Makes more sense to put them over the gravel.
Not that I would mind putting mats on grass. Grass can be evil sometimes - ever tried to walk down a steep grassy slope on the sea cliffs in climbing shoes when its been raining the night before? You take your life in your hands....

Very wise.
Where I climb though, the way off after you've completed a route usually involves grass. Most of the climbing in Cornwall is granite crags rearing out of grassy slopes on the sea cliffs.
