from Wikipedia:

Planking is the act of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, in unusual public spaces and photographing it.

History

The term "planking" was coined in Australia and became a fad in 2011. [1]

Planking has its origins in the lying down game (1997[2] or 2006[3]) in Europe and Japan.[1] It has also been known as "시체놀이" ("playing dead", South Korea 2003),[4][5] "à plat ventre" ("On one’s belly", France 2004),[3] and "extreme lying down" (2008, Australasia).[6]

anyone else starting to see this? A couple friends on Facebook are starting to do it. Seems goofy to me. I get the concept of doing an odd thing in public and photgraphing it (we tried that with HigherGround gear for a while), but "planking"?!?!?!? Really?!?!?!?

Post up if you've been invated with it or your thoughts on it. Do we need to add a "planking" section to the forum? LOL

never heard of it.... I thought planking was a type of target practice with a gun lol

My favorite quote to date about Planking:

Rus Russell: "This is the first time I've heard of it. Seems like a natural progression of retardation to me."

Stupid article about Celebs doing it.

We've got a couple boys here at the big bad bank that have gotten into planking too. LOL
