Today, I stumbled across a Yahoo! slideshow that showed people diving into a pool. Right before the person fell in, someone would take a picture of them doing a leisure pose.
In my opinion, this is way cooler than planking. Would you rather see pictures of people laying down on things, or see pictures of people posing in mid-air? Of course, I pick the latter of the two!
Admit it–you’ve tried taking a picture with your friends jumping at the same time, we’ve all done it before. And doing it while jumping into a pool makes it fun. To be honest, I doubt it’s going to become the next planking or owling, but mostly because not everyone lives in an area where they can dive into a pool all year-round. The idea of being in a swimsuit in the middle of January, in New York City, or diving into a pool for a picture, seems crazy. But who knows? Maybe people in the South (Miami!!) can continue this new thing. I sure hope so. The idea of coming home on a winter night to see cool pictures of summery things sounds appealing. But for now, while it’s still summer, let’s all go out with our friends, bring our swim trunks (or bikinis) and our cameras and get diving!
