September 3, 2011 Ironing with a View

Extreme Ironing on Rivelin Needle, Sheffield, UK

Where did it all begin? Some say a music video. Others say a knitwear employee nicknamed "Steam" invented the sport. He came home tired one day, wanting to get in a bit of rock climbing, when he decided to combine the two activities and an extreme sport was born.

Some off-shoots include bungee ironing and underwater ironing.

Trophies have been given, a documentary made and even some world records have been set, all around extreme ironing.

That's a different kind of boarding.

Have they started planking on the ironing board on the rock, yet?
