Extreme ironing enthusiasts in America

Combine extreme sports with the humdrum housework activity of ironing, and what have you got? Extreme ironing, of course! Already popular in Europe, a group of British extreme ironing enthusiasts are now pressing their case to bring the 'sport' to America. The trio, Phil Shaw (aka Steam), Matthew Patrick (aka Starch) and Penny Wilkinson (aka Short Fuse) have been demonstrating their skills in some of America's more challenging places, such as suspended in huge waterfall in South Dakota, or inside the caves of Mount Rushmore.
