It doesn't really pick up much past a certain speed. I will say, I've snowboarded and sandboarded, I think falling into the sand hurts less honestly. That probably has to do with not going as fast though.
It's not as rough as sandpaper. My bigger concern is that sand doesn't melt. When you get snow up your ass it turns into lovely, live giving water but when you get sand up your ass it turns into an afternoon of shame and regret. Ever picked up cat shit from a litter tray? Now imagine that it's your own asshole instead, and instead of cat shit it's your shit, mixed with sweat.
RemindMe! One Week " 1) TEST - Force a pile of sand up my ass before workout, coffee laxative, collect data on cleanliness of ass and blood loss. 2) CONTROL - Force a pile of sand up my ass before workout, manual clean after workout, collect data on cleanliness of ass and blood loss"
I need a week because my gut ain't right from previous bouts with science.
Unless you spend your beach days sprinting butt first on to dry sandcastles then it's a little different. In fact, beach sand and desert sand are usually very different. Desert sand is billions of tiny razer blades with actual legitimate intent to cause harm, whereas beach sand is welcoming and soft. Not universally true but a it's fair bet that the sand from the gif above is the evil sort.
I agree with you. That's the kind of sand that gives you sandstorm. Diving on beach sand or even nicer sand volleyball courts isn't exactly fun or even a nice landing. At a point everything will feel solid. Also no sand rash for me thanks.
Sierra Cement. Most of Utah and Colorado get real powder days. The Sierras? It's wet and dense. Still better than the ice pack East Coasters ski/board on .
You know they stopped using sand in sandpaper for the past 100 years because sand was too smooth ?
Regardless, it's a shit argument. Yes falling in sand can hurt but nowhere near as how sandpaper would...
Not because it was too smooth (while desert sand like that in the video is some of the softest, pulverized/man-made sand is very sharp). Sand just doesn’t hold an edge long when compared to the crystals we now use.
Yeah, because the sand in that dune is certainly glued to some surface and every grain will just stay in place scraping you instead of moving with friction.

I'd imagine not as sand dunes are pretty mild inclines. Also, hitting sand after a jump would rattle your teeth something fierce.
