Extreme(ly Dumb) Sports

Write a Review | Q & A

ANY SPORT WORTH DOING TO THE EXTREME IS WORTH DOING EXTREMELY DUMB! This book will show you how! From the popular Duckboy® line of postcards and other products comes this hilarious photographic journey through the world of sport, real and fanciful. Laugh about Horizontal Bungee Jumping, Aerobic Snowmobiling, Body Bowling, Snowshoe Ballet, and much more.

While dumb sports have been with us forever, in recent years the movement has been towards Extremely Dumb sports. Why do something difficult and dangerous, and come off looking merely silly, when with a little extra effort you can demonstrate transcendent stupidity?

Paul Stanton has photographed and sold his humorous images since 1987. In 1997, he published his first book of photos and yarns, The Duckboy Way, or Quack in the Saddle Again.

"Whether you call them duckboys, duckgirls or rednecks, these are the people that assure us ours is not the only crazy family out there. Thanks for all of the laughs."
-Jeff Foxworthy

"Duckboys, weird and hilarious as they are, somehow capture their own special reality."
-Patrick F. McManus

"Paul Stanton is a man with a non-stop sense of humor. ...a quirky mix of humorous photos, yarns, and comic captions...which range from the mild chuckle to falling-out-of-your-chair, rolling-on-the-floor kind of helpless laughter."
-Midwest Review of books, reviewing The Duckboy Way
