The swiffer!
Does anybody remember those handy telescopic mops, the swiffer! They were the type of labour saving clean devices that mums who generally think shopping at iceland is a good idea.

Well myself and my good chum T (he enjoys stealing from b3ta so he may read this) found that the swiffer mop could be used in such a manor as a type of extreme sport. Basically standing on it jumping,spinning the thing round and then in a guffawing teenage manor, calming that the random flailing in some way related to a well known skateboarding trick "I just did a pop shove it".
Well me being a dab handed young man thought "this could do with wheels!". So we tried attaching skateboard trucks to this thing with no avail!
So one wet midsummers day I set about making a purpose built extreme swiffer! Gnarly! I thought! A few hours later I appear from my fathers garage with this ugly contraption. A short piece of yorkshire boarding with skateboard trucks attached and a staircase spell for a handle!
Needless to say the thing looked like a steaming pile of Scunthorpe. Was impossible and extremally dangerous to use, with it having a solid piece of wood pointing squarely at your chin. And on T's second go on it feel unceremoniously fell to pieces.
Unfortunately Extreme swiffering was taken up as an event at the X games. So me and T moved on to the next stupid project/plan a wasted youth, someone should have told us there was women out there!

My first post! How was it for you? I wanted to post one about a zip line but someone beat me to it!
