Planking
June 27th 2011 03:57
The lying down game (also known as planking, face-down photography or face downs) is an activity, popular in Asia and Australia, consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body, and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play.
The game has been described by some as "pointless" and as "Parkour for those who can’t be arsed".
The lying down game spread to the rest of the world where it has also been known as ("playing dead") (2003,South Korea), "à plat ventre" ("On one’s belly", France 2004), "extreme lying down" (2008, Australasia) and "facedowns" (2010, USA and Ireland), and Planking (2011, Australia & New Zealand).
The term "planking" was coined in Australia and the practice became a fad in 2011. Planking is described as the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank. It has its origins in the "lying down game.
