“Parkour…for those who can’t be arsed”. So says the opening statement on the lying down game’s Facebook page which boasts nearly 100,000 members. The lying down game has been going on for a while, but has only just started to be noticed by the wider community. To play, you need to have your hands flat against your sides and your toes pointing at the ground; “As if you were standing, but vertically challenged. FACE DOWN!!!”

During the recent World Cup, the game got some very good publicity from John Terry having a go during one of England’s matches. Playing the game can be very addictive and I regularly see the same person playing the game in the area where I live.

Due to curiosity, I tried the game myself, and I can easily say that it was the most fun I have had in a long time. So my advice would be to try it yourself and to get your friends playing as well.
