Twist and loosen brush from broom handle, axis a half back golfswing and let the brush projectile go flying off the end.

Discovered by accident whilst sweeping the kitchen floor with patio doors open, avoided the neighbors greenhouse and possible lawsuit only to land the brush in a nearby pond.(sweeping motion was enough)

Extreme ironing http://www.extremeironing.com/

See how far a steam iron will fly off the end of the ironing board. It is recommended that the fabric being ironed is smooth (and that the flooring below is heat-resistant).

I guess we could include the Giant Dishwashing Competition into this amalgamation of events.

How about a pancake flipping competition? It's much like diving, where different flips have a set degree of difficulty, and a panel of judges will adjudicate based on succesful completion, intactness, and a minimum amount of splatter upon the pancake's landing.
