The Best Extreme Ironing Pictures Ever

According to Wikipedia, extreme ironing is ‘an extreme sport and a performance art’. Quite how it’s classed as a sport I will never understand, however there are some brave souls who risk not only their social status, but their lives to perform ironing in bizarre situations across the globe! I’ve clubbed together my favourite and most outrageous extreme ironing pictures ever for your total indulgence.

Whilst crawling the web I came across the Extreme Ironing Community on Google+, be it only small whilst I’m writing this post, it’s bound to grow. Since 1999 this bizarre sport has spread to Japan and the USA with the Extreme Ironing USA Chapter even appearing on NBC’s Today Show to explain the phenomenon.

These are by far my favourite extreme ironing pictures, do you agree?
