Planking

Planking is the act of lying horizontal, face-down in various locations and acting like a "Plank". Photographs are then taken and posted on the internet so everyone can see how awesome your planking skills are. Both location and difficulty of the plank are important.

Planking

Planking is a fad that involves people lying "like a plank" in various random places, such as on top of poles and on public transport. The aim is to be as creative as possible.

Planking began as an obscure fad in South Australia. It gained notority when a "planker" in Brisbane, Australia was intoxicated and planked on the side of a balcony, subsequently falling to his death.

Plankers are encouraged to be creative but safe.
