Are there a lot of backbenders on MFP?

I haven't been able to find other people who have the same sort of strange fixation on backbends. Is there anyone else here like me?

    I love backbenders and wanted to do my own backbend picture to signify my love but I thought it would be jumping on the bandwagon.

    Wow, and really hot chicks too. I didn't realize the BB scene was this prevalent. I say do it LC1!

    Oh, to be young and flexible again!
    These days, I have enough trouble with forward bends. :-(

    I'm tempted to go try, but terrified I'll end up stuck or injured.

    If I tried that I'd be in traction for a month. I'll stick to air bending.

    I just tried, and surprisingly can do it. Need someone else to take a pic though!

    I hate being left out :( You guys are being so divisive.

    Me, too. But I'm going to wait until I get home.

    Ok, just tried, and NO. Hahahaha. But to be fair my shoulder is hurting so I couldn't push myself up.

    I'm too afraid to try. I also would not look anywhere near as awesome as you guys while doing it.

    I love backbends...aka "wheel" in yoga...working on drop backs now, just need to get up the courage. I'll have someone take a picture soon and post to my profile. Oh, and I am 44, so don't think age has anything to do with it...I'm more flexible now than I was in my 20's!!

    And now not only is it divisive, but it's discriminatory against hurt shoulder people.

    This is just very upsetting.























    I tried it and couldn't do it. Poop. But, I'm not giving up.

    I had to cheat and use the stability ball to get partway there. I'd like to do it all on my own some day.

    Edit: Oh, and don't forget mean. Everybody's being very mean to the non-backbendy types.

    Please don't criticize the bb lifestyle. I totally understand if it is 't for you because of some sort of physical limitation but please don't shame those of us who have chosen to live our lives this way.
