Ironing: Sporty and Nifty at last!
Ironing is not boring at all, just make it extreme.
Posted on by

Burnishing an electronically heated flat pan of iron to make your garments unwrinkled – boring! You don’t just stand there. Hey hit-or-miss idea, why not iron your clothes in a zoo, or between push-ups, or while hula hooping, or free falling at 53 m/s like this guy.

 

Extreme Ironing Skydive, extreme sports, awkward absurd things to do in air, cool dive iron clothes while free falling

Or underwater. Right after you wash it, all the while defying the science of electricity. Just don’t let it dry up.

 

Extreme Ironing Underwater, underwater trip, awesome ironing of clothes, young man tries to iron wet clothes under water

Or even bring your friends. Yeah! Ironing sessions, that’s very masculine.

 

Extreme Ironing Underwater with Friends, group manly ironing sessions, masculine works, ironing water diving

Or at your wedding? It’s a long day, don’t judge.

 

Extreme Ironing at Wedding, ridiculous funny wedding couple photo, wacky wedding, ironing wedding dress, smile couple

Or make James Franco in 127 Hours look lame.

 

Extreme Ironing between Rocks, cool awesome dude ironing, topless man ironing, adventurers iron clothes, white iron

Or while leading a snowboarding squad.

 

Extreme Ironing Snowboarding, ironing at cold snow, awesome and wicked extreme sports, snow dancing while ironing, speeding in the snow while ironing

Or on the edge of the world. A peaceful place to iron, everybody needs that.

 

Extreme Ironing on Mountaintop, cool place to do iron clothes, man ironing white clothes, mountain view, windy ironing clothes

If it hasn’t dawned on you, Extreme Ironing is a sport. Yeah it’s a real thing, google it!

 

How extreme can you iron your clothes?

    This will make you laugh: I have always loved ironing. I do our ironing in my laundry room, which I have painted in my favorite color. I paid a high price for an antique, wooden ironing board, because I feel more connected to real people who also ironed, when I use it. I paid another high price for the baddest electric iron I could find so the chore, itself, will be a bit easier.
    But I also own several real irons (I mean, non-electric, antique, just the iron, itself, with a handle. And not rusty.)
    There is NOTHING like the rush of walking into our walk-in closet and seeing all my husband’s shirts hanging in crisp formation, saluting merrily at me. And there is NOTHING like the rush from putting on a favorite shirt or blouse, all smooth, scented with starch, and polished. I also love meeting my husband for lunch and realizing all the other guys at his work place look like they just climbed out of a dirty clothes hamper, but my guy still looks like the wonder that he is.
    I also love realizing everyone knows this gal puts out! Prideful, I know, but hey, I LOVE it.

    So, are you laughing yet? ;-)

      I’m picturing 1950′s gingham-clad mothers standing at their ironing boards with their mouths open in shock!

    Just when it seems like the same old sporting events over and over, huh?

    I agree with the extreme vacuming…that is much more enjoyable! Don’t forget, the Canadians made sweeping a Olympic sport with curling!

    I don’t know about extreme ironing, but I used to know a man who said that a sewing machine is a power tool and you can hurt yourself on one so there was nothing sissy about men sewing. (my old phone has a photo of a heavy machine needle through my thumb and it had to be removed at the hospital as it hit bone and bent)

    We had that with in our company – our passengers took pictures ironing – while traveled with us. The staff was always allowed to join in. Didn’t know it was a “sport” *smile

      Tried to find some of the photo from our competition over the net, but nothing there – you could win tickets and hotel stays. I worked for the biggest ferry company in the world, Stena Line.
