Extreme Ironing: Go ironing where few have ironed before

Believe it or not, there is a real extreme sport called Extreme Ironing that involves taking an iron and an ironing board out to a remote location to straighten out a few items of clothing.

The sport has been actively pursued for at least several years now by many who see it as a fun way to demonstrate anarchy against…well, anything. The New York Times describes it as the marriage of activities like cliff jumping and kayaking treacherous rapids with what participants call ”the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt”.

Here is a compilation video of people involved in the sport of Extreme Ironing!

The sport is so popular that in June 2005 a group of 70 divers in Australia broke the world record for the most underwater ironing! Watch the video below!

I have to get myself involved in this sport now! This looks like a promising way to stay fit!
