Smoother Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 EDIT 12/2018 There were humorous certificates embedded with these posts but the links have timed out over time. Sorry. I think it's high time we "Planters of the Face" be recognised for our achievements, and contributions to the merriment of our fellow EUCers by sharing, in excruciating detail, our pain and injury, in the futile hope that they might not follow in our face foot steps. towards that end I have created this FACE PLANT WALL OF INFAMY. If you believe you deserve a certificate for you contributions to face plantism, pop me a private message, simply stating the approximate date, (month, DD, YY) and I'll create a certificate for you, and carefully hang it on the "wall" for all to laugh at admire, just like mine EDIT. Classes added. 1st. Class for actual face contact. 2nd. Class for no face contact. 3rd. Class for full face helmet contact. tell me what class you achieved, and also your approximate speed.

To fix this hindsight, I hereby nominate you Thanks @Marty Backe but if you look carefully, you will see that it was certified by Mr. F. Plant. THE authority. I'm golden.

LanghamP Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Does this certification require landing on the face or would the simple motion of a face plant suffice? Perhaps we could have different classes depending on speed and body part contacted/injured. Perhaps an open face would result in a higher order over full face helmets.

No, your face doesn't actually have to contact the ground. As long as you went off the front and ended up face down on the ground, it's an honorary face plant. But if you like we can add classes. 1st. Class for actual face contact. 2nd. Class for no actual face contact. 3rd. Class for full face helmet contact. Any more complicated than that and my head will explode. So what are you claiming? 1st., 2nd. Or 3rd. Class? I've upgraded mine to 1st. Class.

Almost nobody has a camera ready waiting for their face plant. Oh, yeah, and it's supposed to be humours. Didn't think I'd have to spell that out.

da5id Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @Smoother Sorry, apparently my "rule 32" of the internet sarcastic joke didn't arrive intact... As someone who has faceplanted many times on (off of) many different methods of conveyance I understand no one would have a reason to claim one that didn't happen. It was meant as a joke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now I just wish I could find my "Plants to avoid" tee shirt which included: "Cactus Plants", "Poison Ivy Plants", and "Face Plants" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't think this would be so difficult. If you think you face planted, then it happened. If you have a photo or screen shot to add that would be fun too, but not necessary.

I tried several times to see humour in your message and failed. I didn't want to turn this into a big discussion. But I know these threads take on a life of their own. Why don't you submit a date and class and speed and be the 2nd certificate recipient? Send a pm to avoid unnecessary clutter on the thread.

Smoother Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Look. As you probably gathered I'm creating these on the web and then copying the address over here.im not sure how long the originals will be kept where I make them, so if you want to preserve your certificate, or those of others (weird) then copy and paste the image to your own secure storage. For all I know this page may suddenly get very blank In a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scatcat Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This is one cert I can really, really, REALLY do without... But I did an ASS-plant today, when I found out there was ice on the road by trying to brake... Luckily it was no brake-or-I-will-crash brake, but just stopping at a crossing. Suddenly I was on my arse and the EUC glided a meter or so in front of me. I didn't even get dirty, and the only thing hurting was my pride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
