Extreme

So I was taking a look at Facebook a few days ago and I found a picture posted by one of my friends which depicted the latest and greatest adrenaline rush: Extreme Ironing. The goal is to successfully iron an article of clothing in extreme conditions. A quick Google search turned up the following locations:


Wakeboarding


While Riding a Bike


While Hangliding


Underwater


While BASE jumping off a mountain

And there are many other locations that are just a Google search away.

I'm not sure any of the people reading would want to iron a shirt in such extreme conditions, just to say you've done it. However, while reading a little more about it on Wikipedia, they linked to something that a certain reader of this blog may want to participate in:


Extreme Cello.

Playing the cello in an unusual location, such at the top of a mountain or cathedral. The founders of Extreme Celloing in England did the London Marathon while carrying their cellos (doing it as a charity fundraiser). Might they be looking for a partner in the New World?
