xtreme ironing

[insane_climber]

now i cant see how this can be clased as sport, and realy it not ironing, to iron clothes u need heat which means electricity as the use electric irons so how the manage on top of a cliff or under water (great place to be with electricity) baffles me, was some man made to do the ironing at home and decided that he could call it a sport. its a chore not a sport, sport i fun ironing is not and seems pointless, when u hang it in th cubord it gets creased and when u stay till for long periods of time it gets creased. pointles chore and pointless sport ( which it isnt any way).

plz submit ur opinon as to how a chore can be a sport.

I've got a book about it & they really do iron the clothes - they even get points added/deducted for the quality of the ironing. They use battery powered irons for the stuff on mountains etc. but I'm not sure how they do the underwater ones. Surely they'd get electricuted?
