Extreme Lying Down
Extreme Lying down is a sport characterized by lying face down with your hands by your sides, and toes pointed straight down.
Although there are no set rules as to where ELD takes place, it is often done in precarious places so one can show off to friends.
Photos of people performing ELD are often posted on social media sites, such as Facebook and Tumblr.
The craze of ELD has recently taken off in Australia, although it is commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as Planking.
ELD has been around, but not well known, for many years, and has only recently come into the public eye due to Australian Rugby League football player David 'Wolfman' Williams using it when he scores a try, among other things. Williams incorrectly calls it Planking, which is why the term has taken off.
