Extreme Ironing started in 1997 in the garden of Phil Shaw, who wanted to go out on an evening痴 rock climbing but had a pile of ironing to do. He decided to combine the two activities into a new sport; Extreme Ironing.
Now the sport is a global phenomenon, with hundreds of 'ironists' from around 20 nations taking their ironing outside, where it belongs. In 2002 the Extreme Ironing Bureau and its sister office in Germany organised the Inaugural World Championships and a new sport was born!
DVD - Ironing under the Sky - The Story of . . . . . Extreme Ironing
Ironing under the Sky traces the growth of a global phenomenon - the first sport to combine the thrill of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. It explores every aspect of the sport including its history, public reaction and future growth. The DVD features footage of the first ever Extreme Ironing World Championships held in Munich and the results of the Rowenta Trophy photo competition to find the most Extreme ironist in the world.
And what do other people say about this fledgling sport .....
"You may find this hard to believe, but the trendiest sport around at the moment is extreme ironing. It's simple, but brilliant." John Walsh, The Independent
"It's an event requiring strength, stamina, imaginative vision and refined domestic skills, not to mention a very high embarrassment threshold." Giles Smith, The Telegraph
"For centuries, ironing was a soul-destroying chore meant only for dry cleaners, barefoot women, and dandies. But recently, some well-heeled daredevils have changed that with Extreme Ironing." Maxim, US
