The Armenian Planking Federation is not responsible for the safety of participiants and calles on not to risk life for planking. “During hard work planking is a chance to relax,” says Eduard Levanyan, one of the group activists, who also faced a life-treatening situation during his experience. “First one tries on a smooth place after starts to search more risky places for planking oneself,” he mentions.
Initiating the federation V. Ghazaryan feared the society won’t accept the sport easily but things went in other way. “Day by day new members and new plank photos are engaged in the group,” he assures.
